Wallpaper
- This article is about the wallpapers used in the Pokémon Storage System. For the wallpapers used in Pokémon-Amie, see List of Pokémon-Amie Décor items. For the wallpapers stored in the Fashion Case, see Backdrop.
A wallpaper (Japanese: 壁紙 wallpaper) is a background used in a Box in the Pokémon Storage System. They first appeared in Generation III. They are purely cosmetic and offer a way to visually distinguish Boxes from each other.
Prior to Generation VIII, the core series games categorized the wallpapers into themes, typically including three themes labeled "Scenery" which depict different natural environments for Pokémon, as well as an "Etcetera" or "Misc." theme, which have designs that are more pattern-based or simplistic. Generation IV also introduced the concept of extra sets of unique wallpapers that are unlocked through completing events in the game's story.
The Pokémon Legends games do not feature wallpapers. Instead, they use a translucent background, making the overworld slightly visible while using the pastures/Pokémon Storage System.

Walda
In Pokémon Emerald, a special wallpaper categorized under "Friends" can be unlocked by telling Walda's father in Rustboro City a passphrase, the design of which varies depending on the phrase entered. The passphrase encodes the wallpaper's pattern, icon, background color, and foreground color, but which passphrases are considered valid depends on the player's Trainer ID number, preventing them from being shared between players with different ID numbers.
These phrases were officially made available to Japanese games through the Tell Me! Amusing Words page on the Pokémon Daisuki Club website. Club members could input their Trainer ID number into a generator, which would provide a code for a Pikachu-patterned wallpaper with the hexadecimal color codes #FF52A5 and #FF52FF. Online generators have since been created to calculate valid phrases for any game.
The following are a few examples of the wallpapers that can be generated.
