Professor Mirror & Assistant Rita
That’s not all, Players are to investigate the mysterious Illumina phenomenon. In order to do so, players travel to the islands of the Lental region, which has the special phenomenon of certain Pokemon and Vegetation appearing to have a special glow. Professor Mirror and his assistant Rita are determined to research this unusual occurrence with the player’s help. Explore dense jungles, arid deserts, sunny beaches and so many more ecosystems as the truth behind the Illumina phenomenon is slowly unraveled via observations of Pokemon thriving in the wild. All photos taken will be assimilated to compile a player unique compendium called the Pokemon Photodex.
Players embark on research expeditions to take photographs, which will be graded by the Professor on a scale of one to four stars, based on details like shot composition, vicinity to the Pokemon and whether or not the Pokemon is facing the camera. They can also throw an item called an Illumina orb to cause the glowing phenomenon and find hidden Pokemon in an area by utilizing the camera’s scan. Players can also retouch taken photos to adjust parameters like zoom, blur and brightness and further stylize them using filters, frames and stickers. After all that is done, they can even upload their snaps online to get their work featured in-game by liking them.
So get ready to hop on the player’s trusty on-rails hovercraft travel pod, named the “NEO-ONE”, toss delicious fluffruit to Pokemon to catch their attention and Snap away photo after photo in this all new Pokemon photography experience!
