It freezes on my start screen :(

I love this game and I wish I could give it a 5 star rating, but it seems to have a problem loading for me. I start up the app and it gets passed loading "the Pokémon company" screen ;however, the screen with the Pokémon looking at the fireworks stays frozen idk whats wrong.
