In fact, both boys live and breathe Pokemon at the moment and have since last summer.
J sleeps with his giant Pikachu from Build-A-Bear every night, while K cuddles with his "baby Pikachu" that we won at West Edmonton Mall's Galaxyland earlier this summer. And there's not a day that goes by where tiny Pokemon figures hang out on our kitchen table while we eat.
So when my husband surprised me with an iPad back in May, we, naturally, had to check out what was available in terms of Pokemon apps for kids. If your kids are just getting into Pokemon due to the popularity of Pokemon Go, then you must check out these other apps too!

Pokemon Apps for Kids
1. Pokemon Shuffle
One of J's favorite games, Pokemon Shuffle is a puzzle game similar to like Bejeweled, but instead of lining up jewels, you line up Pokemon heads to battle an opposing Pokemon. Tons of fun and the music is catchy!
2. Camp Pokemon
This app is so much fun! It allows kids to hunt for Pokemon, throw pokeballs, and play a variety of other Pokemon games.

Get outside and collect Pokemon in the wild! Such a great way to get active with the kids.

4. Pokemon Trading Card Game
If your kid is a fan of playing the physical card game, then they'll love the online version as well! I also recommend using this app to learn how to play the game. So if your kid is just starting out and wants to learn all the rules, then playing the online app is the best way to learn!

6. Guide for Pokedex
Although this app is not an official Pokemon Company app, it is still a nice app for Pokemon fans. It is basically an app version of the entire Pokedex so kids can scroll through and learn about their favorite Pokemon.
