History YMMV / PokemonSnap

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The game utilizing only 63 of the original 151 Pokémon (68 if you include the Pokémon cameos seen in the Signs) is seen as a major disappointment for not going the full potential of the Kanto roster, and contributed to the main problem as to why [[ItsShortSoItSucks the game was so short]].

* GeniusBonus: As mentioned in GuideDangIt, players will understand how some of the hidden Pokémon appear if they read up on some of the ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' Pokédex entries.

* HilariousInHindsight: Fast-forward to Generation VI, and you will suddenly realize that the "Koffing chasing after the Jigglypuff" moments during the Cave course now has a whole new meaning due to Koffing now being super-effective against Jigglypuff due to its new Fairy-typing.

* GuideDangIt: Getting some of the hidden pokemon to appear (or evolve from pokemon on the stage) requires either knowledge of the Pokedex or a walkthrough.

* VindicatedByHistory: Originally what was the number one complaint about this game, next to "ItsShortSoItSucks"? It's not like ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''. Fast forward about 10 years later and suddenly people wanted a Pokémon Snap 2 for the Wii and the Wii U.

* {{Earworm}}: The stage select jingle is pretty well received.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: The main game can be beaten in a couple hours. HundredPercentCompletion doesn't take much longer. Gets flak for this.
** The current non-100% speedrun of the game clocks in at '''22 minutes and 55 seconds'''. 100% one clocks at '''26 minutes and 8 seconds'''. [[http://speeddemosarchive.com/PokemonSnap.html See them here.]]

** Zig-zagged. Some people appreciated it just because it was a different kind of game.

* GoddamnedBats: Yes, Zubat. They're only in two stages, but they're rather annoying to get on film. They fly by quickly so it's hard to get them centered and at the proper size, and the flapping of their wings will disrupt your judgment of such. You also need to smack one with a Pester Ball within a very short timeframe for one of the {{Easter Egg}}s. ''Good luck''.

* FanDumb: Many people call the "Pokémon food" apples, even though Oak specifically says thier just apple ''shaped''.

* ThatOneBoss: [[spoiler: Mew]] can be considered as the single boss fight in the game, and it can be a tricky customer to take a photo of. The final zone, Rainbow Cloud, is its own BossRoom.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Lots of them:
** Any moment where you play the Poke Flute within a Pikachu's earshot.
--->"Pi-ka-'''CHUU~!!'''" ''(uses Thundershock)''
** Meowth getting hit with Pidgey's gust.
*** Dancing Meowth, which, of course, requires the Poke Flute.
** The first Pikachu you see in the Tunnel stage. Take its picture, and it'll run off until it hops on the first Electrode. [[spoiler:And then Electrode explodes with Pikachu unharmed, but startled.]]
** The Volcano stage has a group of Charmander yelling "Char!" over and over. Michael Haigney's voice especially makes it funny.
** The River stage is a cornucopia of comedy. We have Bulbasaur's "Bul-ba~" when it gets hit with a Pester Ball, the Slowpoke, and the funniest part of the stage is Psyduck. [[spoiler:If you hit the yellow ducky with an apple or a Pester Ball, it sinks into the water, but it'll continuously pop out of the water and quack.]]
** The Cave stage has the Ditto posing as Bulbasaur, as well as Pikachu being kidnapped by a Zubat. [[spoiler:If you rescue Pikachu by pelting Pester Balls at Zubat, it'll fly down on balloons.]]
** The Mankeys in the Valley stage.

* BetterThanItSounds: Taking pictures of Pokémon while playing as a (at the time) one-shot character from the anime? Nah, that couldn't possibly be fun...
