<p>One of the most requested Pokémon games of all-time is a sequel to the 1999 Nintendo 64 title, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/n64/pokemon_snap">Pokémon Snap</a></strong>. Will it ever happen, though? While fans have been hoping for a follow-up for a long time now, according to Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda, it’s going to need to have a <em>very</em> unique twist.</p>
<p>During an interview with <a class="external" href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/18/pokemon-sword-and-shield-hands-on-and-interview-we-try-to-implement-new-things-fairly-gradually-10002483/">Metro’s Game Central</a>, Masuda was asked why there hadn’t already been a new Snap game, following the release of the Wii U GamePad and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo_labo_toy-con_01_variety_kit">Nintendo Labo</a></strong> Camera Toy-Con. This was his reply:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“All I can say is that I don’t think we can just make the same thing again. So we’d have to come up with a very unique twist on this if we do make another one.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, it’s going to need to be something <em>seriously</em> special and apparently, the Labo Toy-Con Camera might not be enough of a spin, either.</p>
<p><em>What do you think? Would a sequel to the original N64 title actually need a unique twist? Or would an updated roster of pocket monsters to snap be enough? Leave a comment below.</em></p>
