The further that players get intoNew Pokemon Snap, the more items and upgrades they will unlock. Knowing when and how to use these is incredibly important, as too is understanding when not to do so. Thankfully, these are all things that players will pick up while on their journey, although anybody wanting to save themselves a bit of time would do well to research the topic a little first.
What Makes a Great Photograph in New Pokemon Snap?
After they are submitted to Professor Mirror, photographs are graded in six key categories, with each one contributing to the photo’s final score and grade. Players should ideally be aiming for a score of 4,000 or higher, as this is the minimum amount required to get a diamond rating.
Although players should try to satisfy all six criteria when lining up their photos, some categories, like size and pose, are a lot easier to gain points in than others and in some instances can even be enough to secure a diamond rating even if the other four categories score poorly. Placement can also be worth another 1,000 points and so is definitely worth getting right.
Star Ratings For Photographs
When choosing which photographs to hand in to Professor Mirror at the end of a run, players will likely notice that each photograph has a star rating of one, two, three or four. Contrary to what some might think though, this actually has nothing to do with the quality of the photograph and is instead determined by whatever the Pokemon in it is doing.

Different actions and poses are assigned different star ratings. For some Pokemon, finding a new one might be as simple asusing the Melody Player to get it to danceorthrowing a Fluffruit at it to make it angry or sad. For others, however, players will need to complete some fairly specific actions, particularly when it comes to four-star photographs. Thankfully, the requests that players receive from Todd and other characters will often point them in the right direction.
