Pokémon Go? How about Pokémon Go Away, Cavities! The Pokémon Company today announced and released Pokémon Smile, a mobile game that will help kids brush their teeth.
Brushing helps kids catch Pokémon in the free-to-play app. If that isn’t a good enough incentive to develop good dental habits, I don’t know what is.
The Pokémon Company positions the game as a way to make what can be a stressful time for parents into a fun one. Although I have a feeling that plenty of adults will try the app, too.
