Hi!!! My name is Kory and I am 9. I got Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo 64 for my birthday in July and it is the best game I have ever had!!! It came out on June 30 and I asked for it every single day until my birthday. It worked!!!

In Pokemon Snap you are Todd Snap and you are a photographer. Professor Oak wants pictures of all the Pokemon on the island for his report. You ride along on a track in a little car that drives by itself, so you don't have to steer. You just look around and take pictures!!! Then you go back to Professor Oak's lab and show him your best ones and he gives you points. You get more points if the Pokemon is big in the picture, and if it's in the middle, and if it's doing something good. Not just standing there with its back to you.

I can't put my real pictures on here because they're on the TV and not on the computer. So I wrote what they look like. My dad helped me make the tables. I did all the words.

BEACH
The first one. Sunny, with palm trees and the ocean. Pikachu, Snorlax, Lapras and Doduo are all here. It's the easiest one, so it's the best one for practicing. I've done it about a hundred times.

TUNNEL
Dark and kind of scary!!! There are electric Pokemon in here, like Magnemite. Keep looking all the way to the end, because at the very end is ZAPDOS!!!

VOLCANO
Lava everywhere and everything is red and orange. Charmander and Magmar live here. This is my favorite one because it looks so cool.

RIVER
Your car floats down the river like a boat. Slowpoke and Poliwag are here. It goes slow, so you have lots of time to look on both sides.

CAVE
Kind of dark, and the Pokemon are hard to see. This is the one I'm worst at. I need to practice it more.

VALLEY
Big rocks and lots of water. Geodude is here. There's a lot going on so you have to look everywhere at once.

??? THE SECRET LAST ONE ???
There's one more course and it's a SECRET. You have to do special stuff on the other courses before it opens. I haven't opened it yet!!! My friend Dominic's big brother says it's up in the sky and Mew is there.

1. Throw apples!!! Pokemon come over to eat them, and then they're close and big in your picture.
2. Pester balls make Pokemon come out. If something is hiding, throw a pester ball where it is. Some Pokemon get mad, though.
3. Play the Poke Flute when there are Pokemon around. Some of them dance!!!
4. Take LOTS of pictures. You only have to show Professor Oak your best one, so take a bunch and pick.
5. Do the same course again and again. The Pokemon are in the same places every time, so you learn where to look.

Okay so here's the thing. There are 63 Pokemon you can take pictures of. I have 61. One of the 2 I'm missing is Mew, because Mew is in the secret course. But that means there's one more somewhere on the regular courses that I haven't found!!! My dad and me went through all my pictures and counted, and it's true. Dominic thinks it's hiding in the Cave. I think it's in the River, because there's a spot where something moves and I can never get it in time.

If you know which one it is, DON'T TELL ME. I want to find it myself.

(Okay, if I still don't have it by Halloween you can tell me.)
