Pokémon Smile
A toothbrushing companion that turns brushing into Pokémon rescue.
Overview
Pokémon Smile is an educational companion app rather than a traditional game. It uses a phone camera, timers, and Pokémon rewards to encourage children to brush their teeth for a complete session.
Brushing well helps rescue Pokémon from cavity-causing bacteria, filling out a simple Pokédex-style collection and making a daily habit feel more like play.
Key features

What kind of Pokémon game is it?
Pokémon Smile sits outside the main-series gym-and-Pokédex structure. Its identity comes from a toothbrushing timer, making it useful to catalog alongside the main games while keeping its expectations separate.
Why it matters in the wider series
The game shows how flexible Pokémon can be as a franchise format. It uses familiar creatures, types, characters, or collection goals, but reframes them around a different daily loop than catching, training, and clearing a regional league.
