==Overview==
'''Todd Snap''' (Japanese: '''トオル''' ''Toru'') is a professional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[photography|photographer]]. Making his debut in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he is most notable as the [[player character]] of {{g|Snap}}.
As a Pokémon [[photography|photographer]], Todd prefers taking photos of Pokémon instead of catching them with [[Poké Ball]]s. 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 {{p|Mew}}.

While there, he also took pictures of the [[Pokémon sign]]s, which Professor Oak used to discern the location of the rarest Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}.

===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Todd Snap.png|thumb|250px|left|Todd Snap in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Todd debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', where he began traveling with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} until ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct {{p|Aerodactyl}} — namely, the very same one that tried to eat Ash, who also appeared in the photo but was blurred out, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, {{MTR}} misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised themselves]] and hired Todd to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Japanese version of his debut episode has his resume revealing that he is 10 years old, although this was omitted from the English [[dub]] due to it zooming in on the picture and not translating his resume.
While Ash and his friends were taking a break, Ash suddenly spotted what he thought was a gun. Todd promptly emerged from the bushes, fearing that his camera would be damaged, and explained that he was trying to get a shot of Pikachu. Todd went on to invite Ash and his friends over to his home, which was filled with albums and wall hangings of many of his proudest shots. Todd's insistence on getting the perfect shot of Pikachu and show-off behavior continued to annoy Ash. However, after he and Ash became trapped in an underground pipe and defeated Team Rocket, the two boys eventually settled their differences.
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', when {{an|Misty}} mentioned that it had been a while since {{Ash}} had earned a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and mocked his skills as a Trainer, Todd suggested that Ash should take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] if he wanted to prove his skills. During the exam, Todd used his camera to capture Ash's disappointing results in the theory test, and also his reactions while battling [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] in the practice skills exam.
In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Todd's photography helped expose [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s Pokémon theft scheme and led to their arrest by [[Officer Jenny]]. Todd later left the trio to continue taking pictures in the mountains.
In ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', Todd rejoined Ash's group while they were up in the mountains of [[Johto]]. He was trying to capture a picture of the [[legendary birds|Legendary bird]] {{OBP|Articuno|Johto}}. After successfully photographing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Todd decided to remain at [[Snowtop Mountain]] to continue taking photos of the local [[wild Pokémon]].


[[File:Todd Snap.png|thumb|200px|left|Todd Snap in the anime]]
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Todd briefly appeared outside [[Wyndon Stadium]], witnessing how {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} stabilized the unstable [[Galar particle]]s around it during Ash and {{an|Leon}}'s battle in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals.


Todd first appeared in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct {{p|Aerodactyl}} — namely, the very same one that tried to eat {{Ash}} (who was also in the photo, although blurred). He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, {{MTR}} misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. Team Rocket disguised themselves and hired Todd to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Japanese version of his debut episode has his resume revealing that he is 10 years old, although this was omitted from the dub due to it zooming in on the picture and not translating his resume.
===Character===
[[File:Todd Snap home.png|thumb|250px|Todd's home]]
Todd is an enthusiastic photographer who enjoys adventuring through the mountains. He prefers to take natural shots to capture a Pokémon's true nature, and dislikes posed shots. His persistence and ambitious goals have helped him in his quick rise to fame.


Todd set out to capture the perfect picture of Pikachu, which irritated Ash. However, the two boys eventually settled their differences. Todd traveled with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for a short time, but left at the end of ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.
In his debut appearance, Todd was more concerned with his camera equipment and getting a good shot. For example, in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', he attempted to take {{AP|Pikachu}}'s photograph while {{Ash}} remained stuck in one of {{TRT}}'s pitfall traps. He seems to have matured in his later appearances, since he was more aware of the surrounding situations and less prone to looking at the world through his camera lens.


Later, Todd showed up again in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'' up in the mountains of [[Johto]], trying to capture a picture of the [[legendary birds|Legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}. After successfully photographing the Legendary Pokémon in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Todd went his own way once again.
He is also kindhearted, offering to take [[Sophia]] and [[Marcello]]'s 50th anniversary photograph in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Todd debuted in Pokémon Paparazzi, where he began traveling with Ash and his friends until The Breeding Center Secret. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct Aerodactyl — namely, the very same one that tried to eat Ash, who also appeared in the photo but was blurred out, in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, Meowth misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. Team Rocket disguised themselves and hired Todd to capture Pikachu.

Todd promptly emerged from the bushes, fearing that his camera would be damaged, and explained that he was trying to get a shot of Pikachu. Todd went on to invite Ash and his friends over to his home, which was filled with albums and wall hangings of many of his proudest shots. Todd's insistence on getting the perfect shot of Pikachu and show-off behavior continued to annoy Ash. However, after he and Ash became trapped in an underground pipe and defeated Team Rocket, the two boys eventually settled their differences.

In The Ultimate Test, when Misty mentioned that it had been a while since Ash had earned a Gym Badge and mocked his skills as a Trainer, Todd suggested that Ash should take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam if he wanted to prove his skills. During the exam, Todd used his camera to capture Ash's disappointing results in the theory test, and also his reactions while battling one of the instructors in the practice skills exam.

In The Breeding Center Secret, Todd's photography helped expose Butch and Cassidy's Pokémon theft scheme and led to their arrest by Officer Jenny. Todd later left the trio to continue taking pictures in the mountains.

In Moving Pictures, Todd rejoined Ash's group while they were up in the mountains of Johto. He was trying to capture a picture of the Legendary bird Articuno. After successfully photographing the Legendary Pokémon in Freeze Frame, Todd decided to remain at Snowtop Mountain to continue taking photos of the local wild Pokémon.

Todd in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Todd appears as a recurring character in the Pokémon Adventures manga, years after his debut appearances in other canons. He is never referred to by name in this canon.

Emerald arc

Todd debuted in Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo, having come to the Battle Frontier as a reporter assigned to cover the area's seven-day opening ceremony. There, he encountered the eccentric young Emerald, who ended up saving Todd from a wild Sudowoodo. Throughout the arc, he followed the events in the Battle Frontier, aiding Emerald along with Latias and Latios during the crisis caused by Guile Hideout. In Epilogue, Professor Oak, impressed by Todd's photos, asked him if he would like to work with him by going to an island populated by a variety of Pokémon and taking photos of them. He gladly accepted the offer.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Todd made a cameo appearance in PS605, where he was seen riding the ZERO-ONE while hearing the news about the meteoroid that was about to hit the planet in several days.

Trivia

  • Todd is the first male player character to meet Ash.
  • Todd is the only spin-off game character to appear in Pokémon Adventures proper, and, due to his introduction in the anime long before Pokémon Snap was released, the only anime-introduced character to appear in Pokémon Adventures.

  • Including spin-off games, Kellyn and Todd Snap are the only human player characters who don't wear any sort of headwear.
