New Pokemon Snap has been released and the players are certainly loving it. But some of them have been asking a number of questions related to this game. They are trying to find more information related to New Pokemon Snap Pester Ball. So here is some valuable information that can help these players. Read more about New Pokemon Snap.

New Pokemon Snap Pester Ball

Pester Ball was a popular item used by the players of the Pokemon Snap that allowed them to click pictures of their favourite Pokemons in the game. The players are thus asking about the New Pokemon Snap Pester Balls and how to find them. Well, the makers have decided to not add New Pokemon Snap Pester Balls in the game. Instead, the players can use the Illumina Orbs and Fluffruit to capture pictures of their favourite Pokemons in the game. Illumina Orbs are basically a set of glowing spheres that are given to the players after unlocking the Lental region's islands. There are a total of 6 different orbs and all of them are differentiated by colours in the game. Taking pictures of Crystalbloom flowers and illuminated Pokemon can help the players get more of these Illumina Orbs. It is certainly very important to turn these pictures in to Professor Mirror if you want to gain Illumina Orbs.

Apart from this, New Pokemon Snap director, Haruki Suzaki recently spoke to IGN and revealed the real reason for not bringing back the Pester Balls from the previous game. He said that the team thought that some modern changes would need to be made. He also added that the Pester Ball was an important element to bring out Pokemon's reaction in the Nintendo 64 Pokemon Snap, so they decided to add the role of the Pester Ball to the Fluffruit in New Pokemon Snap. He also said that even though Fluffruit doesn't hurt when it hits a Pokemon, they decided to give the players the option to place the Fluffruit near a Pokemon or throw it at a Pokemon.

The makers of Pokemon have also added a number of different tasks and quests in their other popular game, Pokemon Go. To introduce the game to the players, these tasks have been added to the game and the players can get specific rewards for completing these challenges. Here are all the New Pokémon Go Celebration field research tasks along with their rewards in the game. 

  • Players need to utilize a total of 5 Berries to help catch Pokémon - Croagunk, Stunfisk, Stunky, Wooper or Wurmple encounter
  • Players need to utilize a total of 5 Golden Razz Berries to help catch Pokémon - Alolan Vulpux or Lapras encounter
