Pokemon Legends: Arceus Player Shows Off Rotom Collection

Pokemon Legends: Arceus took a step away from the standard Pokemon game formula, but it still keeps many of the franchise's trappings intact. This includes some things that may not make a lot of sense given that the game is set several centuries in the Sinnoh region's past. One Pokemon Legends: Arceus player recently highlighted this by showing off their collection of Rotoms, including several that are possessing temporally displaced pieces of modern technology.

Rotom is a dual typed Ghost/Electric Pokemon known as the Plasma Pokemon that made its debut in the Gen 4 games. It has been portrayed throughout the franchise as a mischievous, gremlin-like specter that inhabits technology. In the anime, a Rotom even set up shop inside Ash's Pokedex for a while.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus Fan Points Out Wholesome Detail About Legendaries

Redditor Decimatin recently shared an image of their Rotom collection, which features six individuals--one for each form. Rotom is able to take on a total of six forms, one default form and one for each of five major appliances it can possess. Inhabiting a microwave oven results in Heat Rotom, a washing machine results in Wash Rotom, a refrigerator results in Frost Rotom, an electric fan results in Fan Rotom, and a lawnmower results in Mow Rotom. This collection may surprise some players, as most of these appliances are completely anachronistic with Pokemon Legends: Arceus' setting based on medieval Hokkaido.

Each appliance form changes Rotom's Ghost-type attribute into a different type to match with the appliance in question. Heat Rotom is Electric/Fire-type, Wash Rotom is Electric/Water, Frost Rotom is Electric/Ice, Fan Rotom is Electric/Flying, and Mow Rotom is Electric/Grass. Decimatin's screenshot
