'''Rotom's Room''' (Japanese: '''ロトムの へや''' ''Rotom's Room'') is a hidden room in the Pokémon games that first appeared in {{game|Platinum}}. It houses five appliances that can change {{p|Rotom}}'s current form into the form of the player's choice.

In Platinum, Rotom's Room is located on the ground floor of the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], to the left of the television. The {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}} is required to gain access to the room. A microwave oven, a desk fan, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a lawnmower are lined up in the center of the room, and on the table is a notebook written by [[Charon]] explaining the limitations of Rotom's forms. There is a second, longer journal detailing the discovery of Rotom as well.

The first time that Rotom merges with an appliance, [[Professor Rowan]] will enter the room and speak with the player.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Rotom's Room is located inside [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]]. It is only accessible via the broken elevator when Rotom is in the the first slot of the party. Its electricity will send the elevator down one floor from the ground level into a room nearly identical to its counterpart in Sinnoh, with the only differences being the location of the door, the floor being littered with boxes, and a lack of the longer journal.

===Mysterious notebook===
<i>
:"It was by pure chance that I obtained information about the Pokémon <sc>Rotom</sc>.
:Remarkably, <sc>Rotom</sc> has the ability to enter and merge with special motors.
:It's now known that <sc>Rotom</sc> can stay inside a motor almost indefinitely.
:However, it will emerge if it enters a [[Union Room]] or a [[Wi-Fi Club]].
:<sc>Rotom</sc> will also emerge from the motor if it is left at the [[Day Care]].
:<sc>Rotom</sc> may also forget certain moves when it leaves a motor.
:This Pokémon requires exhausetive observation and analysis.
:To ensure I get all the credit, my <sc>Rotom</sc> research must be kept secret.
:They will come to recognise me as the scientific genius [[Charon|Char...]]"</i>
 
===Old notebook{{sup|Pt}}===

:"Our encounter was a sudden one.
:It was when I found my toy robot, one that I had earlier misplaced.
:At that instant, a Pokémon startlingly emerged from the lawn mower's motor!
:Clutching my robot, I stared, transfixed by the peculiar Pokémon."
 
:"The Pokémon hovered in the air, held aloft by a {{a|Levitate|power unseen}}.
:As if curious and unafraid of my presence, it floated toward me.
:Crackling sounds accompanied it, as if from static electricity in the air.
:Remarkably, it seemed the Pokémon was the source of this power!
:In alarm, I flinched, certain that my face would be subjected to a shock.
:Much to my surprise, the Pokémon seemed to favor me with a smile."
 
:"Finally, I came to realize that the Pokémon only wished to be friends.
:I have decided to name this most wondrous Pokémon '<sc>Rotom</sc>.'
:Simple though it may be, <sc>Rotom</sc> emerged to me from the motor of a lawn mower.
:Motor and <sc>Rotom</sc>... Surely the link is obvious?"
 
:"<sc>Rotom</sc> is a Pokémon that is simply sensational.
:The fact that it can {{t|Ghost|turn invisible}} is simply the beginning.
:What makes <sc>Rotom</sc> unique is [[Form differences#Rotom|its ability to enter and operate machinery]]!"
 
:"<sc>Rotom</sc> and I became fast friends. We were perpetual companions.
:The {{t|electric}}ity from its body forbade contact, however.
:We could not touch, let alone hug or hold hands, but we cared not.
:For we were bonded on a much deeper incorporeal level."
 
:"A feeling of mischief got the better of me one day.
:Seeing <sc>Rotom</sc> hovering, I decided to startle it--normally I would not.
:Perhaps frightened, <sc>Rotom</sc> discharged power beyond its usual range.
:I fell, stunned, into the arms of unconsciousness..."
 
:"When I came to, to my horror I realized that <sc>Rotom</sc> had disappeared.
:I searched high and low for my friend in dismay and desperation.
:'Don't chastise yourself.'
:'The fault is mine. No harm done.'
:'Let us play as we always have.'
:Though my words poured out, my friend could not be found to hear them..."
 
:"My search for <sc>Rotom</sc> carried me far from home.
:It was in the town's rubbish heap that I again found my old toy robot.
:Curiously, our eyes met, then the robot waved a hand as if in greeting.
:I knew then that I had found my lost friend.
:I ran to and hugged <sc>Rotom</sc> tight, talking on and on."
 
:"The robot's eyes lit up happily as I held it.
:I'm certain that, within it, <sc>Rotom</sc> was emitting lots electricity.
:Somehow, I felt I could understand <sc>Rotom</sc>'s thoughts better than before.
:Also, I realized that we would remain friends throughout our lives..."</i>
