Pokémon Snap featured 63 of the original 151 Pokémon.
Released for the Nintendo 64, Pokémon Snap placed players in the role of Todd Snap, a photographer studying Pokémon on Pokémon Island. Instead of catching or battling creatures, players rode automatically through environments and took pictures using an in-game camera.
The game was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. It was one of the earliest Pokémon console games to render Pokémon in real-time 3D. Players could throw items such as apples and Pester Balls to attract Pokémon, reveal hidden behavior, or improve photographic opportunities.
The game did not attempt to include every first-generation species. Its 63 Pokémon were selected for the courses and photographic challenges designed for the adventure. This is why the total is different from both the original Pokédex count of 151 and the 40 playable Pokémon in the Japanese Nintendo 64 game Pocket Monsters Stadium.
