I have received some Pester Balls, these can be used to stun Pokémon for a while, and they can be used to make Pokémon come out of hiding, and I will need them to find the secret of the River course, and use them to help me get to the next course in the game.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

With Pester Balls, you can get some new interactions with Pokémon. Starting with the Beach, you can throw them at Snorlax to get some photos of it, and where the tall grass it, you can throw Pester Balls in them to reveal Scyther, and two Pikachu come out, and you can get the Pikachu on a Stump special picture, which gives a lot of points, you can even knock the Meowth on the cliff with a Pester Ball.
Tunnel has no new interactions with the Pester Ball, but I do manage to get a photo of Dugtrio while at it, in order to do so, you have to take photos of Diglett three times. Volcano has some new interactions with the Pester Ball, you can throw them in the crater at the beginning where the Rapidash are, and it will form a purple cloud, that is something to remember for later, but near the end of the course are three craters, throw a Pester Ball in them to have a Growlithe or Arcanine come out of the craters.
Next is River, which is the main course to use them on, you can use them to get the Poliwag to jump into the water, and you can get some good photos of Poliwag jumping out, you can even use them to get the Bulbasaur out of the tree stumps, there is the Metapod which you can lower with Pester Balls to get some close up photos of them. The main Pokémon that we can use Pester Balls on is Porygon, they are camouflaged with their surroundings, you can reveal them by throwing a Pester Ball at it, if you throw another Pester Ball at it, its camouflage disappears, and they go back to their normal colour, but at the end of the course, you have to reveal a Porygon and have it land on the switch to unlock the next course.
The next course is the Cave, and that will be in the next part, and while I do like the concept of Pester Balls, they were never brought back in New Pokémon Snap, Illumina Orbs were used in place, and they are glowing orbs which make some Pokémon perform rare poses if you throw them at the Pokémon.
