Rotom Pokédex: Difference between revisions

As a character, Rotom Dex is a sort of companion character for the player, acting as a mentor or guide for them by providing tips and useful advice throughout the game. Rotom Dex is very supportive of the player and can be rather playful, commonly asking for nicknames or making jokes as a form of small talk. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, its personality and actions can be swayed by the player depending on how and when they interact with it. While Rotom mainly talks to the player through the bottom screen, they do appear in the overworld as well, often being used to notify the player of certain accomplishments or new tasks.  

Rotom will be the one to [[Pokédex#Evaluation|evaluate]] the player's Pokédex. Rotom can evaluate the entire Pokédex, or each of [[Alola]]'s individual island Pokédexes. While catching or evolving a new Pokémon, Rotom will also take comment on the species' status, taking special note of [[Egg]]s, [[Ultra Beast]]s, [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]]. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Rotom will play a special animation when encountering a new Pokémon that has not been registered as seen.

===Appearance and biology===

{{main|Rotom (Pokémon)}}

The Rotom Pokédex is a small and red robot-like device. It mainly takes on the flat and square shape resembling that of a {{wp|Tablet computer|smart tablet}}. Rotom's head fans out on the top, rounding out to a half circle with two points on the side. These side contain two holes on each side resembling speakers. A large red antenna comes from the middle of device's head, this point is triangular in shape and matches with other the Rotom species' anatomy, this point does not appear unless Rotom is present inside the machine. On the front of the tablet is the screen. When a Rotom is not powering the device, the screen is all gray, with two ovular shapes on the upper half. A black rounded semi-circle appears between the two ovals. When a Rotom is powering the device, the square screen is mostly white and light blue, with the ovular spots now being filled in with Rotom's eyes. In this form, Rotom's eyes are similar to how they appear outside the device, white ovals with blue pupils and a line going through them horizontally. Like the species, Rotom's pupils are where its eyelids are placed, being colored all white when close. Rotom's small mouth appears on the screen below the black bar that sits between its eyes, the mouth can appear and disappear. When smiling, its mouth takes on a crescent shape with three teeth showing.

* The Rotom Pokédex is the first [[Pokédex]] without the ability to view information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} known as of that time ([[Generation VII]]), as it lacks information on the 403 Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex and cannot receive a National Dex upgrade by any means.

** Ironically, Rotom itself is among the Pokémon who lacks a Rotom Dex entry.

* Because Rotom Pokédex does not battle, it never had a typing assigned to it over the course of [[Generation VII]]. However, in ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] identified his {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure {{t|Electric}} type.
