Pokemon snap help

[Dialga_753]

HELP ME! I can't seem to show professor oak my pictures of the pokemon signs.

Does a pokemon have to be in front of the sign?

Have you completed your collection of every other Pokemon on the island?(Excluding Mew and the signs) Once you do that and you take the secret route at the vally/falls thingy, you should be able to show him the signs.

So do you have to take pictures of every single poke in the game before you get the pokeflute?

 

[MissMegano]

I don't know about the pokeflute, but with the signs, for me it said there were no pokemon in the picture. You have to line the camera up with the pokesigns so the thingy in the middle turns red. Then you can show it to Oak. Oh, and with my pictures, there were no pokes in them, so don't bother trying to get one in it.

Ok so if you take a picture of a poke in front of a poke sign, then it won't show that poke in the picture?
