New Pokemon Snap is set in the Lental region, an archipelago conveniently made up of diverse biomes neatly split across its different islands.
The game’s starting island is Florio, and though you’ll quickly unlock other places to visit, you’ll find yourself returning here often throughout the story. Not only is it the location of your Research Camp, but Florio Nature Park is the site of a number of LenTalk Requests you’ll need to complete in order to maximise your score and open up more of the map.

What are LenTalk Requests?
LenTalk Requests are effectively sidequests. They unlock once you’ve experienced the first Illumina Spot course, which is the third and final stage of Florio Nature Park.
From then on, you’ll receive intermittent notifications from other members of your research team (Professor Mirror, Rita, Todd, and Phil) asking you to capture a specific moment of Pokemon behaviour on film. The requests are usually fairly simple to complete, but the wording can be a little vague.
Though technically optional, completing LenTalk Requests is one of the best ways of improving your score. They present the best opportunities to capture four-star photographs, which will provide a huge boost to your Research Level when you get them evaluated. This in turn will unlock more areas, stages, and level variants; and, of course, this will then open up more LenTalk Requests for those new courses. And on it goes.
Occasionally there’ll be another reward for completing LenTalk Requests, usually a cosmetic item like a sticker for your profile or a frame to use in your photo edits. And while the requests nominally come from one NPC or other, in practice this doesn’t affect anything much in their character or your relationship with them. The score is the key thing here, as well as the opportunity to expand your PhotoDex.

Meganium’s Pal: Completing the LenTalk Request at the Florio Nature Park Illumina Spot
There’s one special LenTalk Request at the Florio Nature Park that doesn’t take place on either of the regular versions of the stage. Instead, you have to go to the Illumina Spot at Research Level 2 or higher to complete it.
The text of the request reads as follows:
“When Meganium gets to this spot, it starts looking around kinda restlessly. Do you think it’s looking for one of its friends?”
Towards the end of the stage, you need to pay attention to a large tree Meganium takes an interest in. Throw Fluffruit at the tree so that Meganium shakes it.
A Hoothoot will fall from the tree and onto Meganium. Snap a photo of them together to complete the request.
