You control Todd Snap, a young and enthusiastic Pokémon photographer commissioned by Professor Oak. Todd's primary tools are his camera and the Zero-One vehicle. Your 'build' as Todd is entirely dependent on your skill with these tools.
- Camera Proficiency: Your ability to aim, frame, and time your shots is paramount. Practice makes perfect.
- Item Mastery: Knowing when and how to use Apples, Pester Balls, and the Pokémon Flute is crucial for triggering unique poses and revealing hidden Pokémon.
- Observation Skills: Todd needs to be observant, spotting subtle clues in the environment that indicate hidden Pokémon or interactive elements.
There are no stat points or skill trees; your progression is purely based on your photographic prowess and discovery.
