** Zubat, as usual. Because they're so fast and small, it's really annoying to take a picture of them, let alone a good one.
** Goldeen is one of the hardest Pokémon to get a good picture of due to how quick it jumps in-and-out of the water during the Valley course. Dratini is also loathed for similar reasons, especially because it's so slender.



** Goldeen is one of the hardest Pokémon to get a good picture of due to how quick it jumps in-and-out of the water during the Valley course.
** Magneton is also a tough one due to how hard it is to get a centered picture of it when the three parts of Magneton are at each end of a triangle formation. [[http://www.p-pokemon.com/snap/sol4.jpg It also doesn't look like a proper Magneton]].

* ScrappyMechanic: Pokémon needing to always be centered in the picture to score the most points is looked down upon as certain pictures could end up looking ''a lot'' better depending on different angles that the Pokémon picture was taken.
