Pokémon Snap Laboventure

Pokémon Snap Laboventure is the sequel to Pokémon Snap, released for the Nintendo Switch. It relies heavily on the camera Labo Toycon, coming prepackaged with it. Laboventure is an odd title, being part of the 8th generation of Pokémon, but being released before the main series games, Pokémon Acid and Blade.
==Gameplay==
The core gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessor. You ride a vehicle through a set route on rails, without any ability to brake or slow down. Using the Nintendo Labo camera toycon, your goal is to snap pictures of Pokémon as you pass them.
Motion controls are heavily utilised, with that being the main way to aim your camera, though the joystick can also be used. The trigger and bumper buttons allow you to take pictures of Pokémon you encounter, and twisting the lens will focus your camera. Various actions are available to you as you ride through Atori Island, and are assigned to a button. These can be changed from the pause menu (accessible by pressing the minus button), but the button closest to your hand will always remain blank, acting as an "Interact" button.
By shaking the Camera Toycon, you can switch between Snaps and Videos. While both function the same, videos will not earn you any points, but can still be shown to Professor Cypress.
===Scoring===
Each Pokémon in Pokémon Snap Laboventure awards a unique amount of points for a clear full-body shot. This number is used to determine the amount of points given when other factors are taken into account.
Trail Points are conditions that occur in the initial photograph. You can only get one of these. After your photos are uploaded to ConnectiSpace, you will be given Rating Points, which are added on to your initial score, or taken away. You can apply filters and special effects to your photos to prevent negative Ratings.
In the below table, Trail Point score is represented as TP.

===ConnectiSpace===
Eleonora will allow you to access ConnectiSpace, either from the main menu, or after you complete an area. From here, you are able to share your Snaps, view other users' photos and videos, add friends, and set up tournaments.
Exclusive quests can be obtained here, posted by characters visiting Atori Island. For more information, see here.
===Filters and Effects===
After you've finished a course, make sure to apply filters to your photographs. There's a wide variety of filters to choose from, and selecting wisely can prevent your picture from being too dark, blurry, or otherwise. In addition, there are stickers that you can place on your photographs. Show Ginevra a picture to obtain stickers of items or Pokémon in that picture!
===Day and Night Cycle===
There are 4 times in Pokémon Snap Laboventure - Morning, Daytime, Sunset, and Night. Each time has a distinct appearance, and certain Pokémon may only appear during certain times. In addition, the time may have an impact on some courses. The time changes every 3 courses.
