'''Rotom's Room''' (Japanese: '''ロトムのへや''' ''Rotom's Room'') is a hidden room in the Pokémon games that appears in {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}. It houses five appliances that {{p|Rotom}} can inhabit and thus [[form differences#Rotom|change forms]].

It houses five appliances that {{p|Rotom}} can inhabit and thus {{form|Rotom|change forms}}.


If the player presses the A button while facing an appliance with more than one Rotom in their party, the game will ask which Rotom the player wants to insert into the appliance.
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 [[Sinnoh]]==

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 {{wp|microwave oven}}, a {{wp|mechanical fan|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 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.


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

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 old notebook.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, instead of Rotom's Room, Rotom can change forms at [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. Unlike Rotom's Room, this location does not have five separate appliances: instead, a single box has the power to change Rotom's form.

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.

===={{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.

==Trivia==
* Rotom's Room is the only location for changing Rotom's forms in the Pokémon games that is event-exclusive.
