New Pokémon Snap is a game that is somewhat narrow but very deep. There aren’t a ton of stages or a bunch of items and gadgets to unlock, but what is there is utilized to the fullest. Just going through a stage once is only scratching the surface of what you can discover there. Even getting a picture of a Pokémon can, and should, be done multiple times for different rankings and to see how many different poses and interactions you can capture them performing.
Nintendo games have never had a direct equivalent to trophies or achievements across their games. Some games, including New Pokémon Snap, do include their own bespoke challenges for that specific game. Here, we have Research Titles, and a whole lot of them at that. If you’re the type to go for 100% completion, which is not hard to imagine for a Pokémon fan, then you’ll have to unlock each and every title in the game. Here’s a full list of all the Research Titles and how to unlock them.

What are Research Titles and what do they give you?
As briefly mentioned, Research Titles are little mini-challenges or achievements you can unlock as you play New Pokémon Snap. They are unlocked by performing certain actions a number of times or doing a specific task you might otherwise not do. Some Research Titles also unlock things like new stickers, filters, frames, and profile icons as well, so they are well worth the trouble. None of them are terribly difficult, and a good amount you will get naturally, but there are some that are quite tricky and time-consuming too. You can check which Titles you still need to get by going to Your Space via the Lab before referencing this list.
We’ve broken down the Titles based on what type of action is required to get them as best we could.
