New Pokémon Snap is a faithful update for an N64 classic that adds mechanics and features that would only be possible in this day and age. One of those features is social integration, as you can now upload photos for New Pokémon Snap players all around the world to see. But what are Sweet Medals, and how do they work?

Sweet Medals in New Pokémon Snap are essentially just little recommendations that you can give to other players. The more Sweet Medals a player has on a photograph, the likely they are to be featured under Trending Photos.

To give Sweet Medals in New Pokémon Snap, go to Lab > Internet and then rifle through the photos you find. Hit A and then hit A again on Sweet! to give them a commendation. You can give one Sweet Medal per photo.

It’s a pretty interesting little feature that just goes to show how much gaming has changed since the N64 days. Death Stranding really is more influential than people give it credit for.

New Pokémon Snap is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
