Earlier this week we shared videos of three new Pokémon 3DS HOME themes released in Japan, expressing a hope that they'd arrive in the West. They were indeed confirmed in the North American Download Update, but weren't announced in the European equivalent earlier in the week.
The good news is that the themes are available in Europe, with Nintendo of Europe reminding us of just that with a tweet; they cost €1.99 / £1.79 each.
You can see these in action in the videos below. Are you planning to pick any of them up?

Probably gonna buy the rayquaza one, its really cool and the music is so bad-ass
I'm good with my free MH theme thanks
Yeah, I'm kinda digging that Pokemon black and white trainer one!
I'm really enjoying the Hanafuda theme. The Mega Raquaza theme looks like it'd be a good companion to the Primal Groudon/Primal Kyogre theme though.
My kids may be interested in these but I dont think they'll pay $2 per theme.
W/ 3 similar themed ones like this Nintendo could at least offer a 3 for $5 deal to make use of yhe auto select option.
Still weirded out by them charging for a 3DS skin. If anything, these should come free when you purchase an associated game.
I really do enjoy these themes.
I'm hopeful to see two changes in the future, and I type this in case Nintendo visits fan forums to see what we're up to Free market research!
1) If you've purchased the game digitally or registered it through whatever rewards program comes next, the corresponding theme is free or at a discount.
2) A theme creator, with an interface like Mario Maker. We can import jpegs and sounds to create our own custom home screens.
Now Nintendo give us these themes shown in this video! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DonGk4WYK3Y (except for the Club Nintendo one of course!)
Wished they would make a Rune Factory 4 theme or two. :c
I'm good with the Slowpoke theme right now. Would like to see them release some Kid Icarus themes. The NES one should be coming to North America soon, but some based on Uprising would be nice.
I like the Hanafuda one hope it comes to the states.
As with almost every theme released, these are all too loud and busy. Can barely even see the icons on the bottom screen. Nintendo seems adamant on ensuring that every theme they make looks like a tacky Hawaiian shirt.
Still waiting for those Sega themes that are available in Japan and the new Another World themes.
My money is ready, just I hope they release those soon.
I like the Pokemon hanafuda theme. Using the original hanafuda theme so will probably get the new one too. And hope they keep making more of them!
