What do you guys think of a Health app that you grow up your Pokemon buddy by your daily active burned energy? (alien.top)

Screenshot from app

- I'm building an Apple Watch app (game) that mixes Tomogotchi-style & Health app altogether.

- Basically, you could grow up your buddy by your daily active energy (or steps)

- Some cool play/interaction with your buddy to reflect your daily exercise progress too.

Would you use this app? Please share your thoughts.

I'd really appreciate all your feedbacks!

I’m pretty sure there is an app that does it already.

This would be cool! And would definitely try it out

Actually sounds kinda interesting. I like the idea of my actions doing workouts effecting something like this.

Maybe more than just pokemon, maybe include some older Tamagotchi styled pets.

I turned my rings into a game for myself to close them out and get my health better and heal my heart. Worked well, once I had set my own rules. So, anything to make working out more engaging or fun for those who do not like doing it is great.

Thanks u/deckyon

I'm lazy at doing my workout too, that's why I came up with a workout buddy idea to remind me to do so.

Regular pets (puppies, cats, fishes?) are being considered too but I may start with Pokemon as it's my favorite champ lines xD

the app Nomi does that. what I think you can add that would make your app popular is for the pet to not die if you gotta be inactive.

Nomi did really well. I was inspired by the app design alot.

But yes the buddy should not die anyway ;)

Thanks for your suggestion.

I think Nintendo would shut you down so fast I wouldn’t bother with your app, were you to use actual Pokémon designs. I’d focus your efforts on original creature designs.

I was really not concerned about Pokemon copyright at first.

After a few research it turns out we could NOT use Pokemon-ish for commercial use.

Sad but true. I may switch off to regular pet or original designs on my own.

Thank you for notice aware
