By default, players start out with the Basic Skin for the C-Gear; however, additional C-Gear skins can be downloaded from the Global Link to further customize the C-Gear. Skins mainly feature a certain Pokémon. There are certain ones that don't necessarily feature a specific one though, such as the Pokémon Café skin.

* The C-Gear is the only Pokémon application that appears on the [[menu]] in the core series games without "Poké" in its name, excluding the [[Player Search System]] and [[Super Training]] applications in {{g|X and Y}} that are featured on the [[PokéNav Plus]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. However, it is not technically part of the menu.
** Furthermore, it is the only one of said features that lacks official artwork, excluding the Player Search System and Super Training.
