'''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}}.

==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.

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 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.

* In [[Unova]], the appliances Rotom uses to change forms are located in a storage room at [[Shopping Mall Nine]].  

 

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.

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.
