* '''Décor''' (Japanese: '''インテリア''' ''interior'') are decorations for the player's home in the [[Pokémon Dream World]].
* While there are 649 officially recognized species of Pokémon, with most members of an individual species looking relatively similar to one another, several Pokémon species have remarkable differences in appearance between members.
* There are four ways of obtaining Décor: starting off with them by default, purchasing them with Berries, unlocking them via [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotion]], and receiving them from [[Nacrene City#Loblolly's studio|Loblolly]].
* Among these are several [[legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are spelled officially as "Formes".  
* The Treasure Chest, Friend Board, Cozy Cottage, Watering Can, and Share Shelf are all available to the player by default. The Cozy Cottage is the only one which can be replaced.
* {{p|Unown}} was the first known Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From the species' debut in [[Generation II]], each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the Latin alphabet. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, corresponding to the question mark and exclamation point.  
* Décor are split into catalogues. By default, players only have the Plain Catalogue, but others can be unlocked. In non-Japanese language accounts, only the Winter Catalogue 2011 can be unlocked; in Japanese language accounts, players can also unlock the Pokémon Center Catalogue, Daisuki Club Catalogue, and Pokémon Café Catalogue in addition to the Winter Catalogue 2011.
* The Generation I Pokédex entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
* Catalogues can be expanded even after they are released. Halloween-themed items were added to the Plain Catalogue for Halloween, and space-themed items were added for the release of {{dwa|Rugged Mountain}}. These items are now always included in the Plain Catalogue.
* Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's personality value, and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats.  
* Items can also be added to Catalgues via promotion. Four items can only be added to the Plain Catalogue by unlocking them by promotion: the Porygon2 Doll, Victini Doll, Party Painting, and Museum Mat. All four of these items have only been released for Japanese language games.

Trainer's Guide: Form differences

  • While there are 649 officially recognized species of Pokémon, with most members of an individual species looking relatively similar to one another, several Pokémon species have remarkable differences in appearance between members.
  • Among these are several legendary Pokémon, whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are spelled officially as "Formes".
  • Unown was the first known Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From the species' debut in Generation II, each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the Latin alphabet. In Generation III, two more forms were added, corresponding to the question mark and exclamation point.
  • The Generation I Pokédex entries for Arbok state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In Pokémon Adventures, Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
  • Like Unown, Spinda has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's personality value, and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats.
