'''Pokémon Island''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンアイランド''' ''Pokémon Island'') is a little-known volcanic island that is the setting of [[Pokémon Snap]].


==Inhabitants==
==Geography==
The island is currently uninhabited by humans, and home to many different species of [[wild Pokémon]]. Being completely isolated, it is an ideal environment to observe how wild Pokémon act naturally, with little human interference. At some point in its recent history, Pokémon Island was clearly inhabited by humans. Many man made structures and objects are still scattered across its landscape, including a decommissioned power plant.
===Ecology===
At some point in its recent history, humans inhabited Pokémon Island. Many human-made structures and objects remain scattered across its landscape, most notably a decommissioned power plant. Now, however, the only inhabitants are the many different species of [[wild Pokémon]], and in the absence of humankind, their population has flourished, and nature is slowly reclaiming the land.


At present, only authorized persons are allowed on the island, and [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are strictly prohibited from stepping foot on its soil. This is likely due to both nature and Pokémon wildlife preservation efforts. Any attempt at catching the local Pokémon could potentially upset the island's natural balance. According to the {{book|Pokémon Snap}} novel, Professor Oak has specifically designated the island as a sanctuary for wild Pokémon.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s are unable to set foot on the island, most likely to preserve its natural order; in fact, very few humans receive permission to visit the island.


Within Pokémon Island exists several different habitats, ideal for an assortment of diverse Pokémon. The island is notable for being home to several rare species of Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mew}}.

Within Pokémon Island exist six different ecosystems, making the island an ideal habitat for an assortment of diverse Pokémon. Several rare species also dwell on this island, such as the three [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mew}}. Six [[Pokémon constellation]]s are also visible in the sky above the island. Professor Oak theorizes that Mew created the signs in each of the six main areas of the island that resemble these constellations.


In [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Professor Oak]] hires [[Todd Snap]] to take photographs of all the Pokémon on the island. Todd does such using the [[ZERO-ONE]], a camera, and several other gadgets.

At some point in its recent history, humans inhabited Pokémon Island. Many human-made structures and objects remain scattered across its landscape, most notably a decommissioned power plant. Now, however, the only inhabitants are the many different species of wild Pokémon, and in the absence of humankind, their population has flourished, and nature is slowly reclaiming the land.

According to the Pokémon Snap novel, Professor Oak has specifically designated the island as a sanctuary for wild Pokémon; due to its isolation, it is an ideal environment to observe how wild Pokémon act naturally, with little human interference. Pokémon Trainers are unable to set foot on the island, most likely to preserve its natural order; in fact, very few humans receive permission to visit the island.

Within Pokémon Island exist six different ecosystems, making the island an ideal habitat for an assortment of diverse Pokémon. Several rare species also dwell on this island, such as the three legendary birds and Mew. Six Pokémon constellations are also visible in the sky above the island.
