Pokémon Snap Station set-up videos

That's super interesting! I love old tech support or job orientation VHS tapes XD

Why I myself don't know anything about these, I think one of the first steps to take in finding it would be to try and contact people who have mentioned the VHS somehow. I noticed that thread you linked was from 2005, though its definitely worth a shot to try and contact the person who mentioned it. I have a friend who still uses their old AOL email, so it's definitely possible for them to answer you.

Also maybe find forums, groups, and pages dedicated to Blockbuster-related stuff? That way, you may find more former employees who know what this is and may have a lead on finding one. I'll do a little research myself when I have time!

Good luck on your search!!

It's probably nothing, but I found this picture with tapes:

I didn't have time to elaborate before. I was specifically referring to those two tapes on the second shelf from the bottom of the display. Neither is in a box or case, and one of them doesn't even have a label. I can't think of any reason for such a thing to be on display in a Blockbuster Video store, unless perhaps they are indeed these tapes and they're being kept there for easy access by the employees in case maintenance instructions are needed.

Upon closer inspection, though, I doubt this is actually a Blockbuster store. Note the Japanese Pokémon Snap box on the far right of the same shelf. Not to mention post-2000 movies visible on the shelves (I spy with my little eye The Lion King 1 1/2). I think it’s just a Blockbuster fan’s collection set up in imitation of a store, perhaps the same guy I mentioned before who said he had the tapes, so those may still be them.

Hey, I just saw this thread and I think I might be able to help. There’s a local game store here that has a Pokemon Snap station. I’ve used it before and it still works great. Next time I’m over there I can ask them if they have the video. They were still giving away the cards they used for the machine back in the 90s so there’s a chance they might have it.

Huh. This is interesting. So it's likely the tape exists. Maybe we could get in touch with someone at Nintendo? It seems like a long-shot though, but maybe we can get in touch with a former employee or marketing manager.

The credits, for the North American version of the game anyway, don’t mention it. And the credits present in the data of the Station are just a cut-and-paste duplicate of the English version credits.

Japan also had Snap Stations of some sort, but even if someone was credited for those, they probably had nothing to do with the American kiosks and as a result would know nothing about these tapes.

Good find! Also can’t wait to see the video, huge fan of your channel.
