GO Snapshot

GO Snapshot is an upcoming feature in Pokémon GO that will allow Trainers to take photos of Pokémon in their collection. The feature can be activated when viewing a specific Pokémon or accessing the camera from the bag.

Taking photos
A Trainer must first select a Pokémon to be the subject of the photographs. The Trainer may then tap on the screen to throw its Poké Ball to their spot of interest. Once the Pokémon is situated in the ideal spot, the Trainer may move around it to find the best angle for the photo. If the Pokémon is distracted or looking the wrong way, the Trainer may brush across it to get its attention.

Trainers will notice that the Pokémon that they take photos of have a sense of presence and weight to them. GO Snapshot utilizes new shadows for each Pokémon, displaying a sense of size and motion as they arrive into a scene. Scale is also key, and GO Snapshot will subtly guide Trainers to find the perfect setting for Pokémon of all sizes.

Saving and sharing photos
Trainers may take as many photos as they wish during their session. Once finished, all photos are saved to the device automatically. Trainers who link their accounts to a social channel e.g. Facebook, may share their photos in posts.
