Phil the Photo Guy (Japanese: カメラおやじ Old Man Camera) is a non-player character in Pokémon X and Y. He takes pictures of the player at various locations in Kalos.

In the core series games

When the player interacts with a Photo Spot, they can call Phil the Photo Guy to take a picture of them in the area. Once a photo is taken, it is saved on the SD card of the player's Nintendo 3DS system, and it can also be sent to the Pokémon Global Link via Game Sync. Phil the Photo Guy can also show the player photos that have previously been taken.

Quotes

Any Photo Spot

"Hey! What do you want to do?"

Take a photo: "All right. I'll take a great photo! Let's move to the shooting location!"

After taking a photo

"Yay, this is a great shot!"

View a photo: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! I haven't taken a single photo of you. Let's take at least one photo, OK?" / "Oh, you want to see a photo? Here's the latest photo that I'm proud of!"

About the camera: "A camera is a tool for making photos. To take a photo, press the R button. You can zoom in by pressing right on the +Control Pad. Zoom out by pressing left. Press the A Button for manual mode. You can do lots of cool things! Reset the angle by pressing the START button. The photo will be saved to the SD Card, and you can see it with the Nintendo 3DS Camera. Also, you can use Game Sync to send it to the Pokémon Global Link. Take a great photo and dazzle everyone!"

Good-bye: "All right. See ya!"

If the player gives a tip (any amount)

"Not too shabby at all! You have a natural talent as a model. See ya!"

If the player does not give a tip

"OK. See ya!"

Lumiose Station: "You know, cameras and railways were first developed around the same time. In short, that means railway enthusiasts like myself have been able to capture these lovelies on film from the start!"

Mamoswine Building: "Looking great! That smile is just the best!"

Trivia

In French, the name of Cameron (F. Otto) is the abbreviation of the name of Phil the Photo Guy (Otto Focus), which suggests that they could be just one person. This is not the case in other languages though.
