== Fan Rotom == | |||
If the opponent uses a {{type|Ground}} move against a Fan Rotom holding an [[Air Balloon]] ([[Generation V]] only), provided {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Gravity}}, etc. are not used. what will the message be? Will it say that it did not affect Rotom, Rotom makes Ground moves miss with {{a|Levitate}}, or what? This doesn't really matter, and isn't related to the topic at all, but why doesn't Bulbapedia have an icon next to the site name that appears on the browser (on Mozilla Firefox)? {{unsigned|Enervation}} | |||
:It says "It doesn't affect Rotom...". The loss of favicon (that icon you are referring to) is due to the server restructure, and we are working on fixing it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Rotom's sprite in DP == | |||
I think the cell for Rotom's DP sprite in the sprite table should be given a rowspan of 5 in its coding, to combine it into one long vertical cell alongside the six in Platinum and HGSS. This will make it visually clear there is only one sprite for Rotom in the Generation IV pilot games, rather than pushing it up to the top of each generational row and leaving an empty space below. What do you think? <sub>P.S. Taking a look at the HTML for the sprite table doesn't seem to show any way the rowspan of any sprite can be modified, so I'd be curious to know more.</sub> [[User:Haxorus|<span style="color:#968428">'''Hax'''</span>]][[User talk:Haxorus|<span style="color:#4C4646">'''or'''</span>]][[Special:MyContributions|<span style="color:#800517">'''us'''</span>]] 09:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Why are its Formes treated as Individual Pokemons? == | |||
According to the trivia placed by editors, they consider each one of Rotom's formes as an individual Pokemon. (eg. Mow Rotom is the only Pokemon to have Grass-Electric type combination?) Discuss. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:58, 14 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
:It isn't. It's just saying that Mow (forme) rotom is the only Grass/Electric type. It's like the {{p|Arceus}} (or {{t|Poison}}; one of them) saying Poison form Arceus is the only poison type legendary.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#424B50">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#848A8D">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#E3CED0">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EDDFE0">ire</span>]] 12:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
:: Thanks for responding. I know what you mean but the way its written makes it seem like we're treating the formes like individual Pokemons though(eg.Mow Rotom is the only Grass-type ''Pokémon''?..). That's the impression that I'm getting when I first read it but I do know that its not completely true. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 09:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Pokemon Special == | |||
Should it be noted that Rotom is apparently considered a Legendary in Pokemon Special? I haven't read the Platinum chapter yet, but it shows Rotom in silhouette with the other Sinnoh Legendaries that Charon is after. [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 22:21, 1 May 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Given that it's Charon, it's quite possible he was pursuing Sinnoh legendary Pokémon and Rotom. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:42, 2 May 2012 (UTC) | |||
::I don't see why we should assume that. Charon and the Association President both just say he's searching for the Legendary Pokemon of Sinnoh. Charon never even directly interacts with Rotom in the manga outside of it attacking him at the end to destroy his machine, so it's not like he considers it special. [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 10:18, 3 June 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Levitate Info == | |||
At the type effectiveness box of pokemon with the ability Levitate, the following is written: | |||
Notes: | |||
If Gravity is in effect, the Pokémon is given an Iron Ball, the opponent has the Ability Mold Breaker, Turboblaze or Teravolt, or it is affected by Gastro Acid, Skill Swap*, Entrainment*, Worry Seed, Simple Beam or Smack Down, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×. | |||
So, I wondered if someone could edit the part above and make it look like this: | |||
If Gravity is in effect, the Pokémon is given an Iron Ball '''or uses a contact move and hits an opponent with the ability Mummy''', the opponent has the Ability Mold Breaker, Turboblaze or Teravolt, or it is affected by Gastro Acid, Skill Swap*, Entrainment*, Worry Seed, Simple Beam or Smack Down, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×.--[[User:Rabitsd|Rabitsd]] ([[User talk:Rabitsd|talk]]) 12:03, 24 July 2012 (UTC) | |||

== Rotom's Room only appears for the original Old Chateau rotom == | |||
I traded a Rotom from a friend and bred it to get a Level 1 Rotom, which I tried taking to Silph Co. in HeartGold as the first Pokémon in my party, but the counter lady, elevator guard and Steven were all still there, and I couldn't get into the elevator. Either this is a glitch or Rotom's Room is only accessible to the original Rotom from Old Chateau. <b>[[User:Zywxn|<span style="color:#FF6600">Zywxn</span>]]</b> 12:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
== PWT type-expert. Worth noting in trivia? == | |||
Just wondering if it was worth noting in the trivia that because of it's form/type changing, Rotom can enter more Type Specialist tournaments at the PWT than any other pokemon, at 7. In fact I think it's the only pokemon that can enter more than 2. [[User:Magentaman|Magentaman]] ([[User talk:Magentaman|talk]]) 18:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

== X/Y location directs to Gen 2 Tuesday listing == | |||
Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I noticed that the "Tu" link under the X/Y location entry for Rotom links to the Tuesday section of Gen 2 on the "Days of the Week" article. Any ideaos on how to fix that? | |||

Is the [[Lost Hotel]] the only place to find the alternate forms of Rotom, or is there some Rotom's Room analog in Kalos?

== Pokédex form image uploaded == | |||
Since the page is protected, would somebody mind adding [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Rotom-Pok%C3%A9dex.png this image] in the infobox of Rotom's forms. And I know, it might not be an actual Pokémon playable in battle, but the official website states that <code> It's known as the Rotom Pokédex, and it's inhabited by Rotom</code> which means that it really IS a Pokémon, and even if that doesn't work, don't forget that {{p|Pichu}} has the Spiky-Eared form even though it doesn't exist in the games. [[User:MannedTooth|<span style="color:#FF8000"> MannedTooth </span>]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 21:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Rotom Pokédex Biology Question == | |||
So I was wondering, Should the Rotom Pokédex be also mentioned in the Biology page? As its forms are mentioned on so, why not include that as well? Also Should here be a Trivia on Rotom being the only know Pokemon that can be a Pokédex? Just wanted to ask before making changes.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 03:21, 10 May 2018 (UTC) | |||
== Normal Rotom == | |||
Where does the name "Normal Rotom" for the base form originate from? As far as I can tell, official material (including pokemon.com's Pokédex, the in-game ORAS Pokédex, and Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex) treats it like Kyurem and Necrozma's base forms where they're just referred to by the Pokémon's name with no additional terminology. --[[User:Mr. Bonding|Mr. Bonding]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bonding|talk]]) 03:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC) | |||
==Form Change== | |||
I went ahead and updated the text of the 'Form Change' section to reflect the fact that form-specific moves must no longer be learnt to change Rotom's form. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 12:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC) | |||
== Color Trivia == | |||
Rotom is the only red Ghost-type Pokémon according to Pokédex colors. All other types have at least 2 unrelated Pokémon, so I think this is somewhat important for trivia. {{unsigned|Pseudonym}} | |||

I have seen that after the most recent trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet the old Rotom Phone art its gone, I think the article should include both arts, even though the look almost the same, since we still don't know the differences in the functionality between both iterations, and we should add a note in the biology part of the article stating that the model produced for the Rotom phone got updated in the time gap between both games. --[[User:Neos|Neos]] ([[User talk:Neos|talk]]) 04:02, 5 August 2022 (UTC) | |||
