For a brief moment, we could taste victory. On the first turn of our online Pokémon battle against the player Athena2023, our Aegislash dealt some serious damage to Athena2023's Gengar. One more blow like that, and Gengar, a little purple ghost with a sinister grin, would be toast. But Athena2023 had other ideas. Before we could make another move, Gengar blew away Aegislash, a levitating Pokémon with the appearance of a zoomorphic sword and shield, with a single attack.

"New Pokémon Snap" arrives on the Nintendo Switch on April 30. The photography-centric game captured Pokémon fans' hearts in 1999 on the Nintendo 64 and is set to do it again 21 years later. In the title, players go on safaris across the beach, the desert, the jungle and more to shoot pictures of Pokémon in their natural habitats.
