New Pokemon Snap: How To Unlock All Locations

There are 24 total courses available in New Pokemon Snap. This guide will show players how they can unlock them all. At the beginning of New Pokemon Snap, players are tasked with exploring the Florio Nature Park. Taking pictures of Pokemon will raise the player’s Research Level and unlock more Pokemon to appear during a normal playthrough. Although, there will be a point where players will need to complete a specific set of tasks within a level to unlock more levels. This isn’t exactly clear and the game doesn’t provide tons of hints to help players in the right direction. This guide will show players how they can unlock all the levels in New Pokemon Snap.

In order to complete the game, the player will need to unlock access to every level of the game. Each Pokemon has 4 different photos that can be taken of them. The higher the quality of the photo, the more points the player will earn. Exclusive poses and animations will also give players more stars. It can be a bit of a grind to reach higher Research Levels later in the game but it is needed to unlock every new area. Here is how players can unlock every level in New Pokemon Snap.
