The points aren't just a useless feature for bragging right, but are in fact used in order to improve the version of the Poké Finder. The better each of these, the more points you will receive.
These points are higher depending on how rare the Pokémon is, how close you are to the Pokémon, the position of the Pokémon, their pose and so forth. This will put it through a comment system where various anonymous NPCs will comment om the photo, sometimes relevant comments about the Pokémon such as it possibly "Cursing" you, or "7.8 Too Much Water", or other times it mirrors the Internet and gives nonsensical nonsense irrelevant to the photo such as asking for lunchĪfter this irrelevant exchange, you will then get points by Rotom. When you have the photo taken, then you can get it analysed. The Poké Finder can be controlled either with the 3DS's Gyroscope, or using the 3DS Circle Pad and you can save your favourite photo from each session onto your SD Card to share on other formats and social media. Other times, the Pokémon will just be still and show you their back.
Sometimes, the Pokémon will stop or laugh, or make something posable which will create a better picture. The mode is quite simple, with Pokémon appearing in the area, often running/flying around, and requiring you to follow them around in order to get a picture. This feature is unlocked when you get to the Hau'oli City Tourist Center In various spots in the game, you'll be able to take pictures of wild Pokémon in various locations that you look out to with your Rotom Pokédex. The Poké Finder is a returning feature once again. (Also, the image you sent me, with the 'Manga' OT, Im sure that screen is a Ultra Sun screen. Thus, the save that I loaded was a Ultra Sun save. Spoiler edit: Also, to correct your lingo, you arent 'running PKHeX in Citra'.
