Now we know that the SNAP cards are absolutely hard to find and there are very, very limited prints.
According with Bulbapedia the cards printed are 10, 5 choosen from the CoroCoro Best Photo Contest and 5 from 64 Mario Stadium Best Photo Contest.
The 10 best photos are selected and printed:
I’ve found other pictures taken for the 2 contest from the Japanese N.O.M. (Nintendo Online Magazine).
Hmm, its interesting having played this game when I was young. Í think they might of choose the 10 cards, based on the angles and difficulty of the in game shot. Some of those shots are pretty hard to come by in game.
I would have KILLED to see cards of THIS and THIS GYARADOS!The former looks like he’s using Hydro Pump, the second just looks badass. Why’d they choose the goofy one with his tongue flailing?
… And why do I still yearn to have it in my collection? ; - ;
Please do share!
Also, does anyone know if any of these were made into “official” things like flats?
You know what’s hilarious about a lot of these winning entries?
Professor Oak in Pokemon Snap would probably give absolutely terrible scores to many of them. This is coming from somebody who was tortured by Professor Oak’s arbitrary scale of bullshit scoring as a 24 year old adult back in 2012.
Blockbuster in USA made Pokemon snap machines. You could get a card (like credit card)as part of it. Memory is a little fuzzy as I was a teen back then. I recall something like - You could bring your game (with save file) to the machine and select your photos, then turn them into stickers. They came out as neat little rectangle shaped stickers. I still have mine, as I could never stand to peel or use them. Tricky part is where I put them…
lol
