In New Pokémon Snap, there are a lot of ways to get unique photographs for the Photodex. Both the camera and NEO-ONE vehicle come with some great features, and Professor Mirror even upgrades them over the course of the main story. While getting all four Photodex shots of Pokémon takes various methods and approaches, the best photo feature is the Music Player.
The Music Player in New Pokémon Snap is unlocked early in the game, offering aspiring photographers the chance to use it to grab candid photos of Pokémon. By playing a Melody, the music can often inspire nearby Pokémon to start dancing. Cradily may bounce from side to side underwater while Pichu and Grookey may prance around together in the Floria Nature Park.
It's because of these cute and candid moments that the Music Player really stands out. Other items that players can use to get a Pokémon's attention just don't feel quite as fun or amusing. For instance, throwing fluffruit at Pokémon can make them sad or angry, sometimes even causing them to charge heatedly at the NEO-ONE. Even if the fruit doesn't hit them, and the Pokémon decides to eat the fluffruit instead, this can be great for getting a 2-star photo. However, it isn't nearly as exciting to watch Pokémon eat as it is to watch them dance around happily.
Why The Melody Player In New Pokémon Snap Is So Great
One of the biggest draws of New Pokémon Snap is that it allows fans to go on relaxing safaris and take photographs of their favorite species. Oftentimes, though, this means having to use some of the camera's or NEO-ONE's features to get better photographs. This is especially true for players who want to get a high photo rating in New Pokémon Snap or who want to complete every entry in their Photodex.
Oftentimes, the Music Player can be used to get 3-star photos of Pokémon dancing. So, the usefulness of this feature goes beyond simple amusement, since it's also vital for filling up the Photodex. And because the Music Player's Melody lasts for a set amount of time, there's no need to worry about aiming like there is with fluffruit or the Scan feature. Meanwhile, using the Turbo boost in the NEO-ONE can speed players along too quickly, causing them to miss out on important shots.
Because of all these reasons, the Music Player in New Pokémon Snap is the best photo feature. It's a great way to get fun and rare photos of Pokémon dancing, but it also has some great practical uses - like being able to grab higher-rated photos for the Photodex.
