How does Game Save work in the new Pokémon Snap

New Pokemon Snap is the latest game in the Pokemon franchise released by Nintendo on 30th April 2021. The New Pokémon Snap is an all-new game inspired by the 1999 Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap. 

Now Available on Nintendo Switch, travel through the Lental Region filled with various islands from dense jungles to waste deserts. Travel from island to island in search of many Pokémons and photograph each of them to build your very own Pokémon Photodex.

While you are busy snapping pictures of unique Pokémons, don’t worry about your snaps as saving your game in New Pokémon Snap is very straightforward. The New Pokémon Snap features an autosave function indicated by a small grey Pokéball icon appearing on the top right of the screen. Any time the icon flashes your progress will be saved. 

The autosave function will work each time you return to the Research Camp after an expedition. You need to wait for Professor Mirror to rate your photographs, then choose any that you’d like to be saved (or re-snapped) and once this is complete, the game will save your progress and move you back to the main Research Camp menu. 

It is important to note that you can’t manually save your progress in New Pokemon Snap while in the middle of an expedition. So make sure to complete each expedition fully and getting your snaps rated before quitting or else you will have to start the whole expedition again. 

Also, note that as with every Nintendo Switch game, putting the console in sleep mode won’t cause you to lose progress while in the middle of an expedition. You can recover from sleep mode mid-way through your expedition and keep playing. Although, closing the game or powering down the console will stop any progress from being saved, so keep your chargers nearby.
