Pokemon's Newest App Is Adorable and Completely Free

Available now for iOS and Android users.

By Alex Osborn

Pokemon Playhouse, a brand-new Pokemon app designed for preschoolers, is now available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

The app is completely free of charge, with no in-app purchases. Pokemon Playhouse features an indoor and outdoor environment for kids to explore, Pokemon to encounter, and activities to complete.

By engaging in various activities, like grooming Pokemon and identifying Pokemon among the starts in the night sky, players will be able to hatch Eggs, adding more Pokemon to their collection. Users can also feed their Pokemon or take them to the park. Pokemon Playground features over 50 different Pokemon for players to find and interact with.

Additionally, the app includes various puzzles to complete, as well as a story time feature that fleshes out the backstory of your Pokemon Playhouse pals.

You can find Pokemon Playhouse right now on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Pokemon Playhouse isn't the only new content for Pokemon fans this week, as tomorrow brings with it the release of Pokemon Gold and Silver for 3DS, and Pokken Tournament DX for Switch. For our thoughts on the Poke-centric fighting game, read IGN's Pokken Tournament DX review.
