If you complete certain tasks, Professor Oak will give you presents.
Here they are:

Apple: Complete Beach Level Once
Pester Ball: Complete Tunnel Level Once
Dash Engine: Complete Valley Level the real way
Poke Flute: Get a shot of Mew


======================================================================
FINISH VALLEY LEVEL THE 'REAL' WAY
======================================================================
To completely finish the Valley Level and get looking for the
Pokemon Signs, go to the end of the Valley Level. You should see
a Squirtle below a Mankey that is at the top of a hill. Get the
Squirtle and Mankey lined up directly in front of you. Hit the
Squirtle with a pester ball so that it slides up toward the Mankey
and knocks him off. When you round the next corner, you should
see the Mankey on the ground. Hit him with a pester ball and he
will fall back and land on a switch that leads to a lake where
Professor Oak is.

These are the hardest scores anyone has gotten (or atleast
that has been published), so don't get frustrated if they seem
impossible.


======================================================================
JUMPING VULPIXES
======================================================================
This trick isn't very hard, but you have to have the Volcano level.
Go to the first Vulpix, make it move up the trail to the other two,
and lead them too, you'll see a space by the lava pit, put a ton of
apples there, the Vulpixes will run past the apples and start jumping
and going: Vul, vul!


======================================================================
CAVERN STAGE
======================================================================
At the end of the River stage, you will see a button. Hit the moving
thing in the background and a Porygon will jump out and land on the
button, opening a door to the Cavern stage.


======================================================================
CHARMANDER PINBALL AND WAR
======================================================================
In the the lava level, get to the Moltres egg BUT DON'T HIT IT WITH
POKEMON FOOD OR A PESTER BALL!! When the egg stops you, look to your
left, you'll see two charmanders, throw pokemon food between them, or
if they're far apart, throw one in front of each of them, either way,
four more Charmanders will come, then group them all together close to
you, then throw pokemon food between them all, the food will bounce
everywhere between the Charmanders like pinball! It's pretty funny
(well, at least for me).
To have a Charmander War, do the same thing like with Charmander
Pinball, but instead of crowding them up, spread them out, then
throw pester balls at them like a war, they fall like they died
from a gunshot!


======================================================================
BETTER MEW PICTURE
======================================================================
To get a better Mew picture, hit Mew until he comes out of his
forcefield. Then, when Mew is chasing his forcefield hit him
with a pester ball. Mew will spin around and then stop, giving
you the opportunity to snap a great picture.
You can get even better picture of Mew then hitting him once.
First, you have to get Mew out of his glowing ball. Then, You
hit him once, twice, however many times it takes until he is
very very close. You'll get over 9,000 points for this picture.


======================================================================
VIEW ENDING
======================================================================
Successfully take photographs of all Pok‚mon in the game and
unlock all the levels. Then after saving the game an ending
sequence featuring the photographs you captured will begin.


======================================================================
VOLCANO STAGE
======================================================================
Throw Pester Balls at the last Electrode in the Tunnel level,
near the exit gate. It will then self-destruct and open a path
to the Volcano level.


======================================================================
THREE STARMIES
======================================================================
When you see the staryu after the Gyrados take a picture of it.
He will start spinning around you. There are two more, take their
pictures too. After you did, they should fly into the whirlpool
were Dragonite comes out. They should pop out really fast, so be
really quick.


======================================================================
DANCING GRAVELERS
======================================================================
In the valley stage on the game Pokemon Snap, it is really hard
to get a good picture of Graveler. To get a good picture, travell
down the river until you see Staryu. Then look to left and you will
see some Gravelers clinging to a wall. Play your pokeflute to get
the Gravelers down and they will do a dance. If you get pictures
of this; you will earn some special points by Proffessor Oak.


======================================================================
SWINGING LAPRAS
======================================================================
Select the beach level from the level select screen, make sure
that you already have the Pokeflute and Dash Engine. Look over
the water right from the start, until you see the first Lapras,
take one picture of it making sure that your zoom cursor is on
the pokemon and had turned red. Keep looking over the horizon
for more Lapras throughout the level, never take you eyes of
the water. Every Lapras that surfaces is must have a picture
of it take, (This is like getting the Dugtrio in the Tunnel
Level), making sure that the cursor is on the Pokemon. When
you enter the area with the Kangaskhan, use your dash engine
to move quickly to the already surfacing Lapras's. If you
manage to snap all the Lapras up to the alcove just before
the Kangaskhan, then a Lapras will surface extremely close,
you will get the 1000 points for size. Play you Pokeflute and
the Lapras, along with two other close ones in the background,
will start swinging to the music. Try different songs for
different sways. Take your shot when you are in the middle of
the alcove. Don't worry about the Lapras, it doesn't go away
unless the music stops. You will get special pointers for a
dancing Lapras, 1000 points for size, 1300 your pose, x2 for
technique, and between 260 to 800 points for Same Pokemon.


======================================================================
SINGING JIGGLYPUFFS
======================================================================
In the CAVE, there are three spots where a koffing is chasing
a jigglypuff, save her by throwing a pester ball at the koffing.
Do this to three koffings and three jigglypuffs will sing for
you on stage near the end of the stage. Take shot at them,
they're worth many!


======================================================================
PIKACHU PICTURES
======================================================================
Surf Pikachu - In the BEACH stage there is a pikachu near
the start. Throw some apples to lure it to
the surfboard a little farther on. Then when
he's close enough, he will pause for a while
then runs to the surfboard and do some poses.
This is great if you are taking them up close
and saving them into the album!

Thunder Pikachu - Sometimes when you play a Pokeflute near a
Pikachu, he will start doing his thunder
shock attack. This is great for some points
at the beach up close.

Pikachu(2) On A Stump AND Scyther - When you reach the tall grass
where a meowth comes out chasing a pidgey,
throw as many pester balls in the tall grass
to the left and a scyther will come out flying
and doing some attacks, take a shot at him
before he flies away, no keep looking left,
you will see two pikachus come out of the
