Pokémon Playhouse App Announced

An unexpected new app has been announced called Pokémon Playhouse and is aimed at children 3-5. Some of you, as I have seen on Twitter, are parents so this could be something to give your budding Pokémon fan before they’re able to play a game from the main series!

In Pokémon Playhouse, your child can interact with all kinds of cute Pokémon as they explore various locations, including a tower, lounge, and outdoor playground. Every location within Pokémon Playhouse features activities created just for younger Pokémon fans, such as taking care of Pokémon in the Pokémon Grooming activity, or identifying Pokémon in the night sky in the Search the Stars activity.

Two things I’ll commend the Pokémon Company for doing are offering no in-app purchases to young players and also promising not to collect any personal information from the app. Great move!

We won’t be covering much more about the game going forward since it isn’t aimed at anyone reading the site, but here’s an FYI for those of you with kids!

  1. I don’t do spin offs especially on mobile. End of Story.
    Since I posted on last article:
    So my team for usum looks to be
    Torracat
    Alola Golem (or graveler depending on me)
    Shiny Lurantis
    Lycanrock
    Pallossand
    Kommo-o

    I’m very OK with some changes and updates to it depending on the new Pokemon we get. Specifically to Kommo-o I really am regretting having it on the team. Gimme a vigoroth or sealeo or anything. Just don’t wanna use it. Pallossand can be switched too. More Johto Alola forms and signature moves and old Pokemon decide what will switch
    What’s your team?

  2. IOS11 Looks really nice… the pure white and gray colour scheme going on almost anywhere looks great with the „you have 5% of battery left” notification.

  3. Depending on how complex the game is and the online features, I am probably going to be spending all of my free time until USUM playing this app. They better include trading this time!

  4. So I wanted to tell y’all something interesting, I had a Pokemon dream a few nights ago

    It was weird but I saw a Tyrantrum and a Granbull biting one another then trying to bite me it’s weird… but maybe it was a premonition of me losing my teeth….
