## What is Pokémon Smile?

Product description:
Pokémon Smile helps make toothbrushing a fun habit with Pokémon! 

Turn toothbrushing into a fun and exciting adventure with Pokémon Smile! Players can partner up with some of their favorite Pokémon to defeat the cavity-causing bacteria and save captured Pokémon. Only by consistently brushing their teeth can they save all the Pokémon, earning the chance to catch them.

Features:
■ Thorough toothbrushing is the key to catching Pokémon!
Some unlucky Pokémon have been captured by the cavity-causing bacteria inside your mouth! By brushing your teeth, you can defeat these bacteria and save the Pokémon. If you do a great job brushing, you’ll be able to catch the Pokémon you save, too!

■ Completing your Pokédex, collecting Pokémon Caps—there are lots of ways to enjoy Pokémon Smile!
• Pokédex: More than 100 adorable Pokémon appear in Pokémon Smile. Build up a habit of brushing your teeth daily to catch them all and complete your Pokédex!
• Pokémon Caps: As you play, you’ll also unlock all kinds of Pokémon Caps—fun and unique hats you can “wear” while brushing!

■ Keep it up to become a Brushing Master!
Regularly brushing your teeth will earn you Brushing Awards. Collect all the Brushing Awards, and become a Brushing Master!

■ Decorate your favorite photos for fun!
While you brush, you can let the game snap a few photos of your great brushing in action. Choose your favorite shot and then have some fun decorating it with a variety of stickers! Keep brushing your teeth daily, and you’ll continue to collect more stickers you can use to decorate your photos.

■ And more useful features!
• Toothbrushing guidance: Players will be guided through the toothbrushing process, helping them to brush all areas of their mouth. 
• Notifications: Create up to three reminders a day to notify players when it’s time to brush!
• Duration: Choose how long each toothbrushing session should last: one, two, or three minutes. That way, the needs of users of all ages can be accommodated.
• Support for up to three user profiles, allowing multiple players to save their progress.

■ Toothbrushing tips
After each brushing session, you’ll also be able to pick up some helpful tips for how to brush the best you can, based on advice from dental professionals.

### 5/5 — My kids are growing up with this!

*2026-08-10, version 2.0.12*

“Want to catch a pokemon?”

This is what I ask my 2 and 4-yr olds when it’s bedtime.

The answer is almost always yes, but I just learned only the first two generations of Pokemon are on the app! My oldest just caught the last of the 2nd generation yesterday! Please add more!

### 5/5 — Pokémon of newer generations

*2026-08-09, version 2.0.12*

I really enjoy this game. Helps keeps the cavities away. Additionally, you can even create your own wallpapers. I’m hoping this game will add more Pokemon from gen three and beyond.

### 5/5 — Best brushing app I had🙂

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.12*

One time I had a different brushing app compare it to this one, the first one couldn’t track my brushing and had more playing while this one could and gave you friendly reminders and less playing modes☺️

### 5/5 — Dear Pokémon smile….

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.12*

Dear Pokémon smile…why am I fighting the screen more than my cavities 😭? Please optimize the app for iPads too. I know this is a lot to ask for but like when I have to constantly pick up my iPad and put it on the mirror It’s just so frustrating. I love the app but I would love it more if it was made for iPads too!🦷🪥

### 4/5 — Ignore others

*2026-07-19, version 2.0.12*

### 5/5 — Super
