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 kind of wish I had waited to play through Johto again until now…. Over the summer I started HG and now I’m finally about to beat the main campaign. I already attached to the team I have so I don’t really want to stop here and start over in GS. Plus I have a shiny Ho-oh in this now so I don’t want to leave this game unfinished. Maybe I’ll play Gold or Silver later on again when It’s not so fresh in my mind. this is my team by the way hahaha https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0be4ca745e3552724659899be23ba135f43133828aaaea8500ce95f29aa472c1.png

    • that’s a solid team too! I used both Typhlosion and Ampharos in my original HG run and they were fun. I ended up using Heracorss in a failed rerun of HG later on, but I loved it so much I transferred it up. I’ve wanted to use Tyranitar for a while to. I just wish Lavritar was more available earlier on. XP

        • Yeah? Well that’s a shame. I’ll have to remember that if I ever go back and replay again. (we’ll see if that ever happens haha) Either way I’d like to use it eventually. Not a fan of Mega Tyranitar, but it normally is pretty baller.

          • It’s pretty easy to glance over that Larvitars even there, so I understand. Additionally, it’s encounter rate is very low, so it might take a while to find.

  2. I like the iOS11 update, but one thing bothers me and thats how they’ve again failed to add a 4G button to the control center.

  3. I watched the first 3 episodes of OK KO. It was really good, wouldn’t call it amazing tho. Does it get better, or is it always just nice?

  4. So we have only had one trailer so far for Pokemon Playhouse, but I just found out that Gamexplain already has a 20 minute video of the game. It has been 107 days since USUM has been revealed and the total amount of time that Gamexplain has spent talking about it is-I an estimating- about 35 minutes. Welp, I now know what Gamexplain is really interested in covering.

    • Se this is my problem with GameXplain. Sometimes it’s fun to listen to them, but most of the time it’s just rambling about a trailer that has no real info. They just make up stuff and then say “Haha I guess we’ll just have to wait and see” It’s so annoying and AAAAALLLLLL of them do it too…….

      • What you said is true, but that is the appeal of Gamexplain. Sometimes our community feels information starved even when we get info. Poketubers take advantage of this by making claims that they have access to insider info or with Lick air titles of videos that are also unreasonably long. However, Gamexplain does not fall to clickbait, they might make long videos but they are upfront that this is only speculation.

        • I’ agree that they are never clickbait-y. that much I can give them, but that doesn’t change the fact that their videos don’t have longevity and often end up having them sound like idiots hahaha

          Reply
        • I know…I just wish they would talk about more interesting things rather than much of the stupid things they do. There’s a good way to speculate without just making stuff up and acting like it could be real just because you thought of it. Either way I still enjoy watching at times even if I have problems with them a lot hahaha

    We had an hour and 30 minutes and my buds at art club all helped paint it and I was really stressed the entire time but it’s done and I’m super excited and I’m going to be walking past the elementary and middle schools as well as my high school in the homecoming parade while holding it and I’m really pumped omg
