The '''Rotom Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ロトム{{ruby|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''Rotom illustrated encyclopedia'') is an electronic device and character found in the [[Alola]] [[region]] that appears in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Referred to in character as '''Rotom Dex''' or just simply as '''Rotom''' (Japanese: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom''), it is a [[Pokédex]] that is enhanced after being possessed by a {{p|Rotom}}. This special Pokédex is said to be rare, even in Alola. While inside the Pokédex, {{p|Rotom}} can [[Talking Pokémon|speak with the player]] or other characters. It is given to the player by [[Professor Kukui]].
 
In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features, such as a map and the ability to call people to and from other locations.
 
==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rotom Pokédex speaking to the player on the bottom screen]]
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.
 
The hardware was built by [[Clemont]].<ref>[[Samson Oak]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''The young fellow from Kalos who helped invent that Pokédex put a lot of work into it. And as much love and care as any parent!''"</ref> Rotom appears very friendly towards people, including the player's [[friend]]s. Despite its friendship with other people, Rotom Dex appears to find [[Lusamine]] scary and has trouble warming up to people like [[Gladion]]. Rotom Dex has a habit of calling the player by several nicknames, including "kiddo" and "partner" and in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, offers a preferred nicknamed. Rotom's dialogue also contains many uses of "zzz" in place of the "s" sound. In Japanese, Rotom Dex makes no such sound, and instead, has a habit of saying ロト (roto) at the end of its statements. According to Rotom, it had its own fair share of battles before being in the Pokédex, but currently prefers its stay with the player.
 
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)}}
[[File:479Rotom-Pokédex SM concept art.png|thumb|left|Rotom Dex has a bunch of nifty functions! It was designed by Clemont|250x250px]]
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.
 
Rotom can control the feet and arms of the device that fold in and out. Its feet are small and around and sit on the bottom of the device. While Rotom Dex typically prefers to float, the feet can be used stand on objects. The device's arms can act as actual hands for Rotom. They are smaller towards the body and get bigger going outwards, taking on a lighting bolt shape. The large flatter ends of each "hand" has two rounding protrusions on both the front and back ends, with the front of the left one having a gray spot. Rotom Dex can retract its arms and legs back into the device's body and start emitting a light blue electric glow around its body.
 
The device's back has several patterns and ports. On the lower half is a red circular port with unknown usage. On the left and right sides, are two lightning bolt shapes pointing inwards going vertically up and down and are smaller on the bottom half. Between thw two lightning bolt shapes is a trapezoid-shaped plug or port. Normally this port is all red when not in use, however Rotom Dex can be upgraded, in which this port will have an identically shaped plug that contains a camera called the Poké Finder. The camera resembles one of Rotom's eyes, but more circular, being mostly white with a dark blue center, a horizontal line going across.
 
Rotom can freely exit the device, but the Pokédex was designed in a way where it would feel comfortable. Rotom Dex is not waterproof.<ref>Rotom Pokédex, ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''So what izzz causing that splashing? Go see!
But don’t drop me in there! I’m not waterproof!''"</ref>
 
Rotom Pokédex had two pieces of concept art released for it for {{g|Sun and Moon}}. A second piece indicating more detail, where the device would have more visualized joints and components. This version of the Pokédex had Rotom's top point fold out and open. Rotom also appeared to have a gray strap connecting from one speaker to the other on its back. It appeared to be thicker and more flat.


In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features for the player to use.
===In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
[[File:SM Rotom unresponsive.png|thumb|right|Rotom's unresponsive state in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]]]]
The Pokédex hardware is first given to the player in [[Iki Town]] by [[Professor Kukui]] after saving [[Nebby]] on [[Mahalo Trail]]. Until then, the item will only have the Pokédex function when the player accesses the X menu. The following day, after which the player defeats [[Hau]] at Iki Town, the Rotom Pokédex character is then first encountered as a normal Rotom that is sleeping in the player's Pokédex. Kukui then asks the player to see their Pokédex, upgrading it into a function where Rotom could talk and understand them, along with adding many other features such as a map.


==Functions==
After going through the {{al|Trainers' School}}, the player, along with Hau and [[Lillie]], travel to [[Hau'oli City]]. There, Rotom Dex is brought to the Alola Tourist Bureau by the player and Hau, to get the Pokédex upgraded. This upgrade provides Rotom Dex with a new camera, the Poké Finder, in which the player can use it to take pictures of [[wild Pokémon]], and later, be used within [[Acerola]]'s [[trial]] in the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}. Rotom then comes out of the player's bag and takes a picture of the player, Hau and Lillie as a group with the new function. In Sun and Moon only, after [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] introduce the player to the [[Zygarde Cube]] in [[Heahea City]], Rotom will be called by Sina when a certain amount of {{p|Zygarde}} Cells and Cores are collected. In [[Malie City]], the player meets up with [[Samson Oak]], whom Rotom recognizes. Samson encourages the player to work on their Pokédex, for both the player's sake and Rotom's. According to Samson, the Rotom Pokédex was invented with the help of a [[Clemont|young fellow]] from the [[Kalos]] region.
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Rotom Pokédex appears on the bottom screen, displaying a map of the area the player is currently in. By tapping the screen, the player can access a variety of functions:
 
When brought into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Rotom Dex appears to be asleep; its screen is full of static, the map function cannot be used, and the Pokémon cannot be spoken to, though the Pokédex feature functions as normal. Rotom Dex will return to normal after the player returns to [[Pokémon world|their world]].
 
Rotom Dex remains in the player's possession including in post game, giving the player random questions and comments when the game is booted up or when they are tapped on. While Rotom does not appear in the credits itself, multiple photographs are pictured, including the photo that Rotom took of the player, Hau and Lillie in Hau'oli City, implying that Rotom and the player were the ones who took the pictures.
 
===Functions===
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Rotom Pokédex appears on the bottom screen, displaying a map of the area the {{player}} is currently in. By tapping the screen, the player can access a variety of functions:
* When the player taps the center of the map, Rotom repeats its most recent suggestion on where to go next.
* When the player taps the center of the map, Rotom repeats its most recent suggestion on where to go next.
* When the player taps the map outside the center, the full map function opens, acting in a similar way to the [[Town Map]] in previous games.
* When the player taps the map outside the center, the full map function opens, acting in a similar way to the [[Town Map]] in previous games.
* When the player taps the black bridge between Rotom's eyes, the Pokédex function opens.
* When the player taps the black bridge between Rotom's eyes, the [[Pokédex]] function opens.
* When the player taps either of Rotom's eyes or on the red part of its body, Rotom will shake and react in a variety of ways.
* When the player taps either of Rotom's eyes or the red part of its body, Rotom will shake and react in a variety of ways.


===Pokédex===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Rotom Pokédex gains more features, upgrades, and different personalities depending on how the player responds to it.
* The player can bond with the Rotom Pokédex by increasing its affection by talking to it or otherwise interacting with it in order to unlock new features, such as the Rotom Powers and Z-Rotom Power. Its affection can range from 0 to 1,000 points.
** Every ten minutes, the Rotom Dex will get a sad look. Tapping it at that point will cause it to react and gain a heart (30 affection points); it may also ready the Roto Loto or ask the player questions. Answering these questions gives Rotom a heart and may ready the Roto Loto. Rotom will also ask questions at certain story intervals, and upon reaching [[Poni Island]], every interaction that produces a heart will guarantee the readying of the Roto Loto. Additionally, taking a photo when prompted by Rotom following the [[evolution]] of a Pokémon will ready the Roto Loto, and taking certain actions after becoming Champion (such as [[Mantine Surf|surfing on Mantine]]) has a chance of readying the Roto Loto.
** Upon reaching 1,000 affection points, Rotom Dex can give the player a nickname depending on their choice. These nicknames may be Roto-(first character in player's name), Roto Jr., or Master.
* The personality of the Rotom Dex can be influenced in three different ways: defeating many Pokémon will result in Rotom having an aggressive demeanor; using [[Pokémon Refresh]] often will give Rotom a more playful personality; and visiting [[Pokémon Center]]s often will make Rotom more easy going.
* Rotom Dex can give the player pieces of information and advice about game features. The advice given changes depending on how much the player responds to the Rotom Dex.

The Rotom Pokédex's primary function is a fully featured Pokédex. The player can browse and search Pokémon species, view data about them, and look up their habitats. The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the [[QR Scanner]] for most registered Pokémon.

The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the [[QR Scanner]] for most registered Pokémon. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, a Pokémon that can only be encountered in an [[SOS Battle]] will have a picture of an [[Adrenaline Orb]] next to its location markers when the map is zoomed in.


===Map===
====Map====
When the Rotom Pokédex is idle, the screen usually shows a map. In this view, the map stays centered on the player's immediate area. The player's location is marked by a smiley face icon, with an arrow indicating the direction the player is facing. If the player is inside a building or certain locations (such as [[Ten Carat Hill]]), however, the map will remain stationary no matter where the player moves and there is no directional arrow. During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.

During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.


If the player taps the map, the screen's view broadens to show a larger map akin to [[Town Map]]s in other games. In this broader view, the top screen shows an overview of the whole Alola region, while the bottom screen focuses on an individual island. If the player moves the map's cursor over different areas on the island, the top screen will show a snapshot of the area, a description of the area, and a list of landmarks within it. The player can scroll between the islands using the L and R Buttons and can zoom in using the Y Button. This view also marks the location of any Pokémon Center the player has visited with an icon.

The feature can be activated by tapping on Rotom's eyes once it starts to glow gold, which can occur at random times between 10-20 minute intervals. Its eyes can also glow by tapping on Rotom if it has a sad look on its face. Once the player reaches Poni Island, the player can also activate Roto Loto by interacting with Rotom or answering its questions.

Rotom Powers can be held by Pokémon and traded to other Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon save files, but not Sun/Moon save files.

:''"Now we turn to the Ula'ula Pokédex! There are still lotzzz of Pokémon you haven't seen yet!"''
*35-69 Pokémon:

The Rotom Pokédex debuted in [[PASM01]]. Originally, it was a regular Rotom that [[Professor Kukui]] requested to receive from a [[region]] outside of Alola so that he may use it to fuse with one of his Pokédexes. Due to this particular Rotom having a weak body, it was unable to be transferred electronically, so {{adv|Moon}} was given the task of delivering Rotom to Professor Kukui while also using her pharmaceutical skills to keep it healthy along the way.

The Rotom Pokédex debuted in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]''. Originally, it was a regular Rotom that [[Professor Kukui]] requested to receive from a [[Sinnoh|region]] outside of Alola so that he may use it to fuse with one of his Pokédexes. Due to this particular Rotom having a weak body, it was unable to be transferred electronically. As a result, {{adv|Moon}} was given the task of delivering Rotom to Professor Kukui while also using her pharmaceutical skills to keep it healthy along the way.


After Moon successfully delivered Rotom, Professor Kukui decided to have it enter {{adv|Sun}}'s empty Pokédex. Due to Sun's mishandling of the Pokédex, Rotom refused to enter it and ran away in disgust. Angered by this, Professor Kukui forced Sun to retrieve Rotom while he attempted to clean the dirty Pokédex.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Rotom Pokédex is the only Pokédex without the ability to view information about all Pokémon known as of that time ([[Generation VII]]), as it lacks information on the 500 Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex and cannot receive a National Dex upgrade by any means.
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|{{an|Rotom Pokédex}}'s type in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
* 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.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Samson Oak]] mentions that the Rotom Pokédex was at least partially invented by a "young fellow from [[Kalos]]", hinting at [[Clemont]]. This is further supported by the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, wherein Professor Kukui reveals that the Rotom Pokédex was developed by "Kalos's famous genius inventor", and Rotom Pokédex's conceptual artwork for Sun and Moon, which features Clemont. In {{g|Masters EX}}, {{mas|Kukui|Professor Kukui}} outright confirms this to be true.
* 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.

This Pokémon is fully evolved.

The Rotom Pokédex (Japanese: ロトム図鑑(ずかん) Rotom illustrated encyclopedia) is an electronic device and character found in the Alola region that appears in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. Referred to in character as Rotom Dex or just simply as Rotom (Japanese: ロトム Rotom), it is a Pokédex that is enhanced after being possessed by a Rotom. This special Pokédex is said to be rare, even in Alola. While inside the Pokédex, Rotom can speak with the player or other characters. It is given to the player by Professor Kukui.

In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features, such as a map and the ability to call people to and from other locations.

In the core series games

Character profile

The Rotom Pokédex speaking to the player on the bottom screen

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 Pokémon 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.

The hardware was built by Clemont.[1] Rotom appears very friendly towards people, including the player's friends. Despite its friendship with other people, Rotom Dex appears to find Lusamine scary and has trouble warming up to people like Gladion. Rotom Dex has a habit of calling the player by several nicknames, including "kiddo" and "partner" and in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, offers a preferred nicknamed. Rotom's dialogue also contains many uses of "zzz" in place of the "s" sound. In Japanese, Rotom Dex makes no such sound, and instead, has a habit of saying ロト (roto) at the end of its statements. According to Rotom, it had its own fair share of battles before being in the Pokédex, but currently prefers its stay with the player.

Rotom will be the one to 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 Eggs, Ultra Beasts, 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 article: Rotom (Pokémon)
Rotom Dex has a bunch of nifty functions! It was designed by Clemont

The Rotom Pokédex is a small and red robot-like device. It mainly takes on the flat and square shape resembling that of a 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.

Rotom can control the feet and arms of the device that fold in and out. Its feet are small and around and sit on the bottom of the device. While Rotom Dex typically prefers to float, the feet can be used stand on objects. The device's arms can act as actual hands for Rotom. They are smaller towards the body and get bigger going outwards, taking on a lighting bolt shape. The large flatter ends of each "hand" has two rounding protrusions on both the front and back ends, with the front of the left one having a gray spot. Rotom Dex can retract its arms and legs back into the device's body and start emitting a light blue electric glow around its body.

The device's back has several patterns and ports. On the lower half is a red circular port with unknown usage. On the left and right sides, are two lightning bolt shapes pointing inwards going vertically up and down and are smaller on the bottom half. Between thw two lightning bolt shapes is a trapezoid-shaped plug or port. Normally this port is all red when not in use, however Rotom Dex can be upgraded, in which this port will have an identically shaped plug that contains a camera called the Poké Finder. The camera resembles one of Rotom's eyes, but more circular, being mostly white with a dark blue center, a horizontal line going across.

Rotom can freely exit the device, but the Pokédex was designed in a way where it would feel comfortable. Rotom Dex is not waterproof.[2]

Rotom Pokédex had two pieces of concept art released for it for Pokémon Sun and Moon. A second piece indicating more detail, where the device would have more visualized joints and components. This version of the Pokédex had Rotom's top point fold out and open. Rotom also appeared to have a gray strap connecting from one speaker to the other on its back. It appeared to be thicker and more flat.

In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Rotom's unresponsive state in the Ultra Deep Sea

The Pokédex hardware is first given to the player in Iki Town by Professor Kukui after saving Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Until then, the item will only have the Pokédex function when the player accesses the X menu. The following day, after which the player defeats Hau at Iki Town, the Rotom Pokédex character is then first encountered as a normal Rotom that is sleeping in the player's Pokédex. Kukui then asks the player to see their Pokédex, upgrading it into a function where Rotom could talk and understand them, along with adding many other features such as a map.

After going through the Trainers' School, the player, along with Hau and Lillie, travel to Hau'oli City. There, Rotom Dex is brought to the Alola Tourist Bureau by the player and Hau, to get the Pokédex upgraded. This upgrade provides Rotom Dex with a new camera, the Poké Finder, in which the player can use it to take pictures of wild Pokémon, and later, be used within Acerola's trial in the Thrifty Megamart. Rotom then comes out of the player's bag and takes a picture of the player, Hau and Lillie as a group with the new function. In Sun and Moon only, after Dexio and Sina introduce the player to the Zygarde Cube in Heahea City, Rotom will be called by Sina when a certain amount of Zygarde Cells and Cores are collected. In Malie City, the player meets up with Samson Oak, whom Rotom recognizes. Samson encourages the player to work on their Pokédex, for both the player's sake and Rotom's. According to Samson, the Rotom Pokédex was invented with the help of a young fellow from the Kalos region.

When brought into Ultra Space in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Rotom Dex appears to be asleep; its screen is full of static, the map function cannot be used, and the Pokémon cannot be spoken to, though the Pokédex feature functions as normal. Rotom Dex will return to normal after the player returns to their world.

Rotom Dex remains in the player's possession including in post game, giving the player random questions and comments when the game is booted up or when they are tapped on. While Rotom does not appear in the credits itself, multiple photographs are pictured, including the photo that Rotom took of the player, Hau and Lillie in Hau'oli City, implying that Rotom and the player were the ones who took the pictures.

Functions

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Rotom Pokédex appears on the bottom screen, displaying a map of the area the player is currently in. By tapping the screen, the player can access a variety of functions:

  • When the player taps the center of the map, Rotom repeats its most recent suggestion on where to go next.
  • When the player taps the map outside the center, the full map function opens, acting in a similar way to the Town Map in previous games.
  • When the player taps the black bridge between Rotom's eyes, the Pokédex function opens.
  • When the player taps either of Rotom's eyes or the red part of its body, Rotom will shake and react in a variety of ways.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Rotom Pokédex gains more features, upgrades, and different personalities depending on how the player responds to it.

  • The player can bond with the Rotom Pokédex by increasing its affection by talking to it or otherwise interacting with it in order to unlock new features, such as the Rotom Powers and Z-Rotom Power. Its affection can range from 0 to 1,000 points.
    • Every ten minutes, the Rotom Dex will get a sad look. Tapping it at that point will cause it to react and gain a heart (30 affection points); it may also ready the Roto Loto or ask the player questions. Answering these questions gives Rotom a heart and may ready the Roto Loto. Rotom will also ask questions at certain story intervals, and upon reaching Poni Island, every interaction that produces a heart will guarantee the readying of the Roto Loto. Additionally, taking a photo when prompted by Rotom following the evolution of a Pokémon will ready the Roto Loto, and taking certain actions after becoming Champion (such as surfing on Mantine) has a chance of readying the Roto Loto.
    • Upon reaching 1,000 affection points, Rotom Dex can give the player a nickname depending on their choice. These nicknames may be Roto-(first character in player's name), Roto Jr., or Master.
  • The personality of the Rotom Dex can be influenced in three different ways: defeating many Pokémon will result in Rotom having an aggressive demeanor; using Pokémon Refresh often will give Rotom a more playful personality; and visiting Pokémon Centers often will make Rotom more easy going.
  • Rotom Dex can give the player pieces of information and advice about game features. The advice given changes depending on how much the player responds to the Rotom Dex.

Pokédex

Main article: Pokédex → Functions → Entries → Generation VII

The Rotom Pokédex's primary function is a fully featured Pokédex. The player can browse and search Pokémon species, view data about them, and look up their habitats. The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the QR Scanner for most registered Pokémon. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, a Pokémon that can only be encountered in an SOS Battle will have a picture of an Adrenaline Orb next to its location markers when the map is zoomed in.

Map

Elio using the Rotom Pokédex's map function

When the Rotom Pokédex is idle, the screen usually shows a map. In this view, the map stays centered on the player's immediate area. The player's location is marked by a smiley face icon, with an arrow indicating the direction the player is facing. If the player is inside a building or certain locations (such as Ten Carat Hill), however, the map will remain stationary no matter where the player moves and will not display a directional arrow. During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.

If the player taps the map, the screen's view broadens to show a larger map akin to Town Maps in other games. In this broader view, the top screen shows an overview of the whole Alola region, while the bottom screen focuses on an individual island. If the player moves the map's cursor over different areas on the island, the top screen will show a snapshot of the area, a description of the area, and a list of landmarks within it. The player can scroll between the islands using the L and R Buttons and can zoom in using the Y Button. This view also marks the location of any Pokémon Center the player has visited with an icon.

The broad map is also used when the player uses Charizard Glide. In this mode, all places that the player can fly to are marked by wing icons.

The island maps (from the lower screen of the broad map) are also used when the player views a Pokémon's habitat from its Pokédex entry.

Reason: How is the "thumbs-up" score calculated?
Selene using the Poké Finder

The Poké Finder (Japanese: ポケファインダー Poké Finder) function allows players to take pictures of Pokémon in locations where the icon on the player's bottom screen turns into that of a camera. It can be activated by pressing the R button or tapping the camera icon in those select locations. Pictures are then evaluated with a "Thumbs-Up" score. Pokémon found through the Poké Finder will be registered as seen in the Pokédex.

Upgrades

Upon taking pictures, the player is awarded with a "Thumbs-up" score, which is then added to the total number of "Thumbs-Ups" the player has earned over time. As the total number increases, new versions of the Poké Finder can be unlocked as follows:

  • Version 1: Default version.
  • Version 2: Unlocks at 1,500 Thumbs-Up. Adds the ability to zoom.
  • Version 3: Unlocks at 10,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds additional zoom.
  • Version 4: Unlocks at 100,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds maximum zoom.
  • Version 5: Unlocks at 1,500,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds the ability to call Pokémon over to the player, causing them to look at the camera for a short time. A stamp is added to the player's Passport.
Photo Locations

Roto Loto

Reason: Duration of Powers without immediate effects (Encounter, Stealth, etc.)

Roto Loto is a feature that only appears in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

It is unlocked after visiting the Pokémon Center on Route 2. Roto Loto allows the player to obtain items called Rotom Powers, which can be used to provide boosts similar to the Pass Powers from Generation V and O-Powers from Generation VI.

The feature can be activated by tapping on Rotom's eyes once it starts to glow gold, which can occur at random times between 10-20 minute intervals. Its eyes can also glow by tapping on Rotom if it has a sad look on its face. Once the player reaches Poni Island, the player can also activate Roto Loto by interacting with Rotom or answering its questions. After becoming the Champion, the Rotom Dex will activate Roto Loto if certain requests are fulfilled, such as after Mantine Surfing or Ultra Warp Riding.

Rotom will automatically use several Rotom Powers during the course of the story: Roto Experience when arriving at Melemele Meadow to retrieve Nebby, Roto Hatch after obtaining the Eevee Egg at Paniola Ranch, and Roto Prize Money when first passing through Route 11. Rotom Powers can be held by Pokémon and traded to other Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon save files, but not Sun/Moon save files.

Rotom Powers cannot be sold to Poké Marts.

Z-Rotom Power

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Rotom Pokédex gains this ability from when the player reaches at least 601 affection with Rotom. When a Rotom Power is used during or outside of battle, the Rotom Dex will assist the player by allowing a Z-Move to be used again for a second time during the battle.

Main article: Rotom Pokédex (anime)

Ash received an Alola Pokédex from Professor Kukui in The Guardian's Challenge!. It was empty until Loading the Dex!, where Kukui completed the Pokédex by having a Rotom enter the device, turning Rotom into what it calls the Pokédex Rotom version (Japanese: ロトムポケデックスフォルム Rotom Pokédex Forme). It then registered Ash as its user and followed him around throughout Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, before leaving to work with the Aether Foundation.

Rotom, prior to entering Moon's Pokédex, in Pokémon Adventures
The Rotom Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures

The Rotom Pokédex debuted in The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun. Originally, it was a regular Rotom that Professor Kukui requested to receive from a region outside of Alola so that he may use it to fuse with one of his Pokédexes. Due to this particular Rotom having a weak body, it was unable to be transferred electronically. As a result, Moon was given the task of delivering Rotom to Professor Kukui while also using her pharmaceutical skills to keep it healthy along the way.

After Moon successfully delivered Rotom, Professor Kukui decided to have it enter Sun's empty Pokédex. Due to Sun's mishandling of the Pokédex, Rotom refused to enter it and ran away in disgust. Angered by this, Professor Kukui forced Sun to retrieve Rotom while he attempted to clean the dirty Pokédex.

Later, it was revealed that Professor Kukui had a spare Pokédex, which he gave to Moon. This Pokédex was the one that Rotom decided to enter, becoming the Rotom Pokédex in the process.

Trivia

Rotom Pokédex's type in the anime
  • The Rotom Pokédex is the first Pokédex without the ability to view information about all Pokémon 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.
  • In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Samson Oak mentions that the Rotom Pokédex was at least partially invented by a "young fellow from Kalos", hinting at Clemont. This is further supported by the Pokémon Adventures manga, wherein Professor Kukui reveals that the Rotom Pokédex was developed by "Kalos's famous genius inventor", and Rotom Pokédex's conceptual artwork for Sun and Moon, which features Clemont. In Pokémon Masters EX, Professor Kukui outright confirms this to be true.
  • Because Rotom Pokédex does not battle, it never had a typing assigned to it over the course of Generation VII. However, in That New Old Gang of Mine!, Ash's Rotom Phone identified his Rotom Pokédex as a pure Electric type.
