'''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.
'''Rotom's Room''' (Japanese: '''ロトムのへや''' ''Rotom's Room'') is a hidden room in the Pokémon games that appears in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It houses five appliances that {{p|Rotom}} can inhabit and thus {{form|Rotom|change forms}}.


==In [[Sinnoh]]==
If the player interacts with an appliance with more than one Rotom in their party, the game will ask which Rotom the player wants to possess the appliance.
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.
==Sinnoh==
In Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, Rotom's Room is located on the ground floor of the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]]. The door is hidden in the top-left corner (to the left of the television in Platinum, or left of the bookcases in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl). The {{si|Secret Key}} is required to gain access to the room. A {{wp|microwave oven}}, a {{wp|Fan (machine)|rotary fan}}, a {{wp|refrigerator}}, a {{wp|washing machine}}, and a {{wp|lawn mower}} 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.


==In [[Kanto]]==
The first time that Rotom merges with an appliance, [[Professor Rowan]] will enter the room and speak with the player. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this also grants the player the [[Rotom Catalog]], allowing them to register each appliance to it and change Rotom's form without having to return to the room to do so.
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.

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

==Other appliance locations==
[[File:Rotoms Room BWB2W2.png|thumb|250px|Storage room in [[Shopping Mall Nine]]]]
* In [[Unova]], the appliances Rotom uses to change forms are located in a storage room at [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In [[Kalos]], the appliances are in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Lab in [[Lumiose City]], on the second floor.
* In [[Hoenn]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, the appliances are in [[Professor Birch]]'s Lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In [[Alola]], the appliances appear in the basement of the Pokémon Research Lab on {{rt|1|Alola}}.
* In [[Hisui]], the appliances can be accessed from the player's quarters in [[Jubilife Village]], though each appliance must be purchased separately from [[Ginter]] first.
* In [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]], the appliances can be selected from the Rotom Catalog at any time.
 
Unlike Rotom's Room, these locations do not have five separate appliances (save for in Hisui); instead, a single box has the power to change Rotom's form. This allows multiple Rotom to share the same form in one game, as well as being tradable in all forms.

==Notebooks==
The mysterious notebook appears in Rotom's Room in all games in which it appears; the old notebook only appears in Pokémon Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
 
===Mysterious notebook===
====Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver====
<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 [[Pokémon Center#Wireless_Club_2|Wi-Fi Club]].
:<sc>Rotom</sc> will also emerge from the motor if it is left at the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.
:<sc>Rotom</sc> may also forget certain moves when it leaves a motor.
:This Pokémon requires exhaustive observation and analysis.
:To ensure I get all the credit, my <sc>Rotom</sc> research must be kept secret.
:They will come to recognize me as the scientific genius [[Charon|Char...]]"</i>
 
====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
<i>
:"It was by pure chance that I obtained information about the Pokémon Rotom.
:Remarkably, Rotom is able to merge with special motors.
:Rotom can thereby enter various home appliances and change its form.
:I have confirmed that Rotom changes its types and the moves it can learn by reflecting the characteristics of any home appliance it enters.
:This Pokémon requires exhaustive observation and analysis.
:To ensure I get all the credit, my Rotom research must be kept secret.
:They will come to recognize me as the scientific genius [[Charon|Char...]]"</i>
 
===Old notebook===
<i>
:"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 [[List of Pokémon with 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>
 
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Rotom Room Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Rotom's Room in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
Rotom's Room appeared in ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]''. After following {{TP|Diamond|Rotom}} from the [[Old Chateau]] to the Team Galactic Eterna Building, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} had discovered a door labeled "Secret Room." Using the Secret Key Diamond had found at the Old Chateau, they opened the door, which gave Pearl an electric jolt while doing so. Inside the room, they found a lawn mower, a washing machine, a fridge, an electric fan, and a microwave. They then saw Rotom entering the washing machine, turning into Wash Rotom. When Diamond tried to use [[Tru]] against it, Rotom left the washing machine and entered the microwave, making Pearl understand Rotom's ability to enter electric appliances to change its form and [[type]]. Diamond later understood that Rotom had brought them there just to show what it was capable of. As the Plasma Pokémon had struck a friendship with the two [[Pokédex holder]]s, it decided to come with them.
