4th Gen Johto Photography

[Ho-Oh]

Although the character is mentioned in another thread, the actual role he has isn't discussed.

How do you feel about getting your photo taken throughout different areas in the games? Do you get photos taken often (or if you don't play the games as much, did you get photos taken often)? Does it maybe remind you of your team then? And do you actually ever look at the photos taken? If there's a certain place you took many photos within, which area is it and why?

Would've you preferred actual art drawn specifically for the photos that is pre-set for each area, so although it may not be exactly where you're standing but it's art of the whole area with your character instead of (imo) bad quality pixels that leave little to the imagination? Share your thoughts on the photography within HGSS!

In the actual storyline, I had my photo taken whenever I saw one of the men that offered to do so, so at the end of the story, I ended up with a PC full of photos of how my team progressed, and the Pokémon that changed within it. After the story, I use it whenever I finish a new team.

I guess having something like the Dream World art of the Pokémon would have been good, coupled with a drawn backdrop, yeah.

I get my picture taken often, but the quality is a joke seeing it's on a ds

I don't take pictures in-game because I don't really see a purpose for them. That, and the pics' quality is really bad.

 

[Hikamaru]

I love taking photos with my Pokemon.

I took some photos pretty much to see how my team changed as I played the game. Then eventually I just took photos because I had really tall pokemon on my team and wanted to see how they would look all squished into one pic. I think I also took some random photos just because the guy was there.

I like taking my photo. But when i look at them i hate it when im on my bike that makes me feel like the whole photo is ruined and have to get a new one.

I only take pictures when I'm extremely (echoes) bored while playing the game

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

I just take pictures when I talk to some random guy and if he asks if I want to take a picture, I'm like, "okay, sure."

 

[Kevin]

No I'm too lazy to take pictures. Plus when I do the placement of the Pokemon is annoying, some small Pokemon I have are behind the huge ones.

 

[FrostPheonix]

I did take pictures in my first playthrough, but after that I didn't, since I never look at the pictures after I take them. Waste of time for me...

I only took photos a couple of times, but then got tired of it

Cute topic, Nica!

My character and Pokemon are quite photogenic, we always take photos whenever we see Cameron the Photographer. The rad thing is, that whenever I do a nuzlocke run of HeartGold, I get to look back at my photos and see some of my Pokemon who have since died and mourn for them. This feature is a really great one though and no, I don't mind the picture quality/background.

I take pictures a lot xD The only thing I don't like about it is the quality. Too pixely.

I actually like taking pictures. Later they remind me of the pokemon that I used to have or how they were pre-evolved. The only thing I don't like is the fact that there often are HM-slaves in my photos.
