Pokémon Smile turns brushing your teeth into an augmented reality adventure
There’s a new Pokémon game out today. No, not the Isle of Armor expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield (although that’s also available today). It’s called Pokémon Smile, and it’s an augmented reality toothbrushing game designed to encourage kids to brush their teeth better.
