Storyline

Todd Snap, a fledgling Pokémon photographer, is summoned by Professor Oak to Pokémon Island to help him with a report. Oak needs quality pictures to accompany his scientific findings, and knows from past experience that Todd is the right person for the job. Pokémon Island, which contains a variety of climatic and geographic regions, is a place where Pokémon live relatively undisturbed by humans. Using a motorized, amphibious buggy named the ZERO-ONE, Todd explores the island and takes photographs of the wide variety of Pokémon that inhabit its environments.
