Customise your iOS or Android device with Pokémon Style

iOS + Android

The Pokémon Company have just released Pokémon Style, an app that lets you customise your Android or iOS device.

The themes available are mostly based off lines of merchandise available from Japanese Pokémon Centers, like Nemuri Pikachu and Eevee Mansion (pictured below).

You'll need to be running Android 4.0 / iOS 7.0 or above to get it working.

Unfortunately, iOS doesn't support icon customisation, so that feature will be limited to the Android version.

Both free and premium themes are available. Premium themes cost ¥200 (£1.10 / $1.69), although a selection are currently available at half price until February 25.

The Android version is out now on the Japanese Google Play Store, with an iOS version to follow soon on the App Store.

Would you pick this up if it came to the West? Let us know in the comments below.
