Todd Snap (Japanese: トオル Tōru) is a professional Pokémon photographer. Making his debut in the anime, he is most notable as the main character of Pokémon Snap, and has appeared in various other media, including Pokémon Adventures.


Overview

As a Pokémon photographer, Todd prefers taking photos of Pokémon instead of catching them with Poké Balls. He does that as a hobby, but is also often hired to. Although young, Todd seems to have gained enough reputation to catch Professor Oak's attention. He is not known to own any Pokémon, despite the number of species he has met, including Legendary Pokémon as rare as Mew.

Todd is the protagonist of Pokémon Snap. Professor Oak hired him to go to Pokémon Island with the ZERO-ONE to take pictures of wild Pokémon behaving naturally for a Pokémon Report. He traveled all over the island getting pictures of all the species, and received Pokémon food, Pester Balls, a Poké Flute, and the Dash Engine upgrade to help him capture the best images possible. While there, he also took pictures of the Pokémon signs, which Professor Oak used to discern the location of the rarest Pokémon, Mew.

In other games

Despite not having appeared in other games himself, ZERO-ONE, the vehicle Todd used to go through the Pokémon Island, appears as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Todd is mentioned in the trophy description.

Team Rocket disguised themselves and hired Todd to capture Pikachu.

Todd set out to capture the perfect picture of Pikachu, which irritated Ash; the two boys eventually settled their differences, however. Todd traveled with Ash and his friends for a short time, but left at the end of The Breeding Center Secret.

Later, Todd showed up again in Moving Pictures up in the mountains of Johto, trying to capture a picture of the Legendary bird, Articuno. After successfully photographing the Legendary Pokémon in Freeze Frame, Todd went his own way once again.
