Don't let your home screen fall into a rut — switch out your wallpaper!
You don't have to pull out a complex new theme to bring a breath of fresh air to your home screen. A new wallpaper can do wonders, and launchers like can re-theme your entire home screen around a good wallpaper. In our effort to help brighten your device — and maybe your day — we're compiling some wallpapers for you to try out. And since everyone's been killing their battery turning their phone into a Pokédex, we thought we'd share some wallpapers to help bring that Pokémon feel to your home screen.
If you've got a wallpaper you use everywhere, share it in the comments below! We're always looking for something new. Now get your wallpaper picker ready and see what's in store this week.
Wild Pokémon Living in the City by Ninja-Jamal
There are Pokémon living all around us...
Okay, maybe they aren't quite this plentiful in the city, and maybe we only have 140 Pokémon from Kanto right now, but it'd be nice to image all these Pokémon are sitting in an alley, waiting for us right now. Especially that Snorlax in the back. Or that poor Jigglypuff that just needs a hug... Don't cry, Jigglypuff! I'll sing with you!
Team Mystic
There are 3 teams that players choose from once they reach Level 5 and are eligible to fight in the gyms. Team Mystic, aka Blue Team, has picked up some Game of Thrones style lore, which has spread like Articuno's Blizzard across reddit and the rest of internet. They know no team but the , whose name is Articuno!
Moltres by Tharalin (Team Valor)
Team Valor can be a bit intense. It's the team that focuses on strength, and defines itself by it. Their emblem and their bird is Moltres, their 'Lord of Light'. If you see a circle of Pokémon GO trainers who shout "Fire and blood!", that would be Valor. It's an intense team, but maybe you've got what it takes...
Zapdos by MrRedButcher (Team Instinct)
There is no shelter from the storm
Yeah, Instinct may not be quite as popular as Valor or Mystic, but can we all agree that the Zapdos above is freaking terrifying? And a legendary bird that commands lightning is not the kind of bird you want to mess with, because unlike the water-hating Moltres or the temperature-challenged Articuno, Zapdos could be anywhere just waiting to short out your phone when you finally corner that Pikachu.
Entei Flat Design by ibeagra
While we're stuck with Kanto right now, I have faith that we'll get a more expanded Pokemon world soon. And when it comes, I will climb a volcano to find myself an Entei.
