A trailer for toothbrushing time introduced us to PokémonSmile. The app is about distracting kids from the un-fun, but necessary task of brushing teeth by adding filters to your kid’s face and letting them catch Pokémon while brushing their teeth.
It’s a rather adorable trailer and another example of how Nintendo is continuing to move the Pokémon brand into an even wider range of games, apps and experiences for families and all-ages.
Check out the trailer below
Here’s the official description for the game:
“Children can defeat the troublesome bacteria with skillful brushing to make the captive Pokémon appear. If kids brush their teeth well, they will be able to rescue the Pokémon. There are over 100 species of Pokémon to rescue, so kids will want to keep coming back to brush in order to complete their Pokédex.
By regularly brushing, children can also earn amusing Pokémon Caps that will appear on their head in the game as they brush. Kids will love seeing themselves wearing a Pokémon hat or even looking like a Pokémon! They can decorate pictures of themselves wearing the Pokémon Caps to create all sorts of silly images.”
You can set reminders for when to brush teeth, timers for how long they should brush for and there are even in-game achievements you can work towards earning.
Yes, this was an odd choice to open Wednesday nights Pokémon Presents stream with, but I think it’s an interesting idea and may prove helpful for families.
I’m probably gonna play this, to be honest… The app is available now on Andriod and iOS devices right now.
