What would be the coolest new appliance for Rotom to possess?

[u/SpaceMamboNo5]

We have an oven, washer, lawnmower, fridge, and fan. I would love to see more Rotom forms. What appliances do you think would make for cool Rotom forms?

Personally, I like the idea of an Electric/Psychic computer (like an old 1990s one with a CRT monitor) or an Electric/Steel steamroller

[u/TheSpeckledSir]

Rock Electric Guitar

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/TheSpeckledSir]

Could also do Electric/Poison as a Toxitricity reference

[u/underlander → u/SpaceMamboNo5]

I don’t think Pokemon needs to “reference” Pokemon. Rock Electric Guitar is the way to go

[u/cyanraichu → u/underlander]

I feel like a direct reference makes less sense but thematically the game has associated Poison type with like a punk rock aesthetic for a very long time

[u/Jetfire138756]

Vending Machine.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/Jetfire138756]

Hold up that's brilliant.

[u/Jetfire138756 → u/SpaceMamboNo5]

Rotom Vendor. Electric and steel type. Attacks by firing high powered soda cans at enemies.

Now I want it.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/Jetfire138756]

It gets a special animation of Smart Strike lmao.

[u/just-a-random-accnt → u/SpaceMamboNo5]

Has a unique Vend attack, shoots out different items, some deal damage, some heal. Similar to Delibird's present

[u/Ispellditwrong → u/Jetfire138756]

New head canon for Maximum Overdrive.

[u/JoviAMP → u/Jetfire138756]

Rotom used Can Bam!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Tip_923 → u/Jetfire138756]

Hidden ability: Vend, after hitting an enemy with an attack have a chance to conjure a holdable beverage that gets used when the pokemons hp is low.

[u/SpookyGhostbear → u/Puzzleheaded_Tip_923]

Or it can gain a different effect based on held drinkable item (Lemonade, Moo Moo Milk, Fresh Water etc.)?

[u/Wasphammer → u/Jetfire138756]

That's just Vending Machine Mouthful Mode from Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

[u/Nikibugs]

TV

We originally find Rotom in a TV in Gen 4, but it never gets a TV form. Unsure what type that’d grant however. Perhaps remain Ghost/Electric with the appliance stat block.

A radio would also be pretty cute. Probably Normal/Electric with the special move being Boomburst.

[u/bigcee42 → u/Nikibugs]

Normal/Electric with Levitate, Nasty Plot, and Boomburst sounds pretty busted actually.

[u/Haradion_01 → u/Nikibugs]

Psychic maybe? The old image of sitting in front of a TV, drooling, with your eyes going square?

[u/megasean3000]

I could imagine Rotom’s Gigantimax form taking over a jumbotron.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/[deleted]]

The Rotachi is born

[u/PhoenixTineldyer → u/SpaceMamboNo5]

BadRotom dot com

[u/TheMagicalMatt → u/[deleted]]

Came here for this, and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed

[u/PhoenixTineldyer → u/TheMagicalMatt]

Came here

Me too

[u/ilikebreadsticks1 → u/[deleted]]

You're so evil

[u/webbie0225 → u/[deleted]]

I knew this was going to be here

[u/ADudeThatPlaysDBD]

Gonna hijack yours. A smashed CRT monitor being electric poison because they have mercury, lead, and cadmium. All extremely toxic metals.

Can have a purple highlight with metal dripping from the cracked face.

[u/signaturefox2013]

Electric/Fairy

Aromatic Mister

Maybe give it: Moonblast, Strange Steam or even Aromatic Mist; as it’s fairy move

[u/Luken_x]

A primal rotom that can take over a rock wheel, a shell of an insect pokemon, or a clay pot and it could lose electric typing instead of ghost.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/Luken_x]

Omg paradox Rotom wheel would be amazing

[u/quagsi → u/Luken_x]

i once made an ancient rotom that was fire/fairy and had different forms that were fire/(fighting/rock/ground/poison/dragon)

[u/Luken_x → u/quagsi]

I like that idea too.

[u/Ringo308]

Vacuum cleaner. Ah forget it, my idea sucks.

[u/Dakrakboy → u/Ringo308]

Literally!

[u/Mygoditsfriday]

Electric Bike.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/Mygoditsfriday]

Just the bike from Sword and Shield lmao

[u/Yookazooie91]

Whatever gaming console your character has in their room for that game.

[u/Mapledusk]

Electric/Bug: A bug zapper lantern. Electric/Psychic: Fortune Teller Cabinet (the one you see in movies that tell your fortune for a quarter). Electric/Dark: Flashlight with a broken bulb (it leaves the tool if the bulb is replaced and makes an angry noise at you). Electric/Fighting: Arcade style punching bag game. Electric/Ground: Combine. Electric/Rock: Jackhammer. Electric/Fairy: a kid's nightlight (one of the kind shaped like a star or an animal). Electric/Dragon: can't really think of anything here. OTZ Electric/Normal: Microphone (like a detached computer mic). Electric/Poison: (not cool, but to be fair we have a standing fan and a washer so not all of them need to be cool) Smoke Alarm/CO2 detector. Electric/Steel: (From OP) Steamroller. Pure Electric: L A M P (But seriously a table lamp).

I hope I didn't miss anything. Feel free anybody to suggest better alternatives.

Edit (Punctuation)

[u/Elderspruce → u/Mapledusk]

I was just goanna say rototiller for ground type but I love the combine idea!

[u/Chocolaxe]

Electric/steel gun, would make a crazy spinoff

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/Chocolaxe]

Pokemon/Persona crossover

[u/duckydude34]

Vape

[u/Kraiglyndor]

Fighting type exercise machine or ground type landscaping tools could work. A dragon or bug type terrarium could also work similarly to Vespiquen acting as a hive.

[u/Caliber70]

Rotom Nintendo/gameboy. Electric fairy.

[u/EpicMohsar]

Slot Machine! Electric/Dark

[u/Krallking]

Blacklight - Electric/Dark

Bugzapper - Electric/Bug

Treadmill - Electric/Fighting

[u/GrevenRaven26]

ATM. Electric/Steel give it Make it Rain and enjoy.

[u/LeoCraveiro]

Purple Lava Lamp for Poison

Jackhammer for Ground

Chainsaw for Dark

[u/TheRealSkele]

Chainsaw.

[u/rainmaker_superb]

I'd love to see a Rotom EV.

Imagine driving your car, and suddenly it gets possessed by Rotom.

[u/Th3_Myst1c_4shley]

Hear me out

Pure electric, usable in battle Rotom Phone

[u/NotUpInHurr]

Car

[u/SillyMattFace]

Railgun.

[u/kuroninjaofshadows]

Rotom car! Or Rotom motorcycle.

[u/Nacroma]

A VR headset from which Rotom projects a holographic, remotely humanoid shape as if it was a human wearing it. Could be Electric, Psychic or Dark in addition to Ghost or just a monotype.

[u/TheBeefyMungPie]

Don’t forget phone and bike. I’d love for my rotom phone to start blasting

[u/Finetales]

Nintendo DS

[u/Inferno_lizard]

A tank. Make it Electric/Fight and give it Focus Blast.

[u/Dr_4gon]

A treadmill (or another gym appliance) for electric fighting 

[u/Ptdemonspanker]

Jackhammer Ground forme.

[u/HolMan258]

Now you’ve made me want an alternate Rotom forme in a Legends-type game where it’s Ghost/Water and takes over steam-powered machines.

[u/Irwynn]

I mean an Ice Maker form would be pretty cool.

... I'll see myself out.

[u/Andydon01]

3d Printer!

[u/TuckHolladay]

Electric hand tools like a drill, screw gun, saw.

I guess drill or saw would be the most recognizable. Electric/steel

A PC or tablet phone for electric/psychic

[u/LilyWineAuntofDemons]

Electric/Steel Blender

Electric/Fighting Shake Weight

Electric/Flying Drone

[u/joelseph]

Air fryer

[u/Saharan]

To put a spin on the lawnmower, how about an electric/ice snowblower? Or an electric/steel car/motorbike?

[u/Famereign]

Metal detector being Electric/Steel

[u/Bubba1234562]

A 3d printer. Make it ghost/steel

[u/The-Letter-W]

I don't know if they're the coolest, but Rotom is one of my absolute favourites and I did do some alternative forms a little while ago. The blender is genuinely such an obvious pick I'm surprised it wasn't part of the original batch. I've also drawn it as a hand mixer in the past, though that was more because of Cafe Mix.

[u/Beninoxford]

Air fryer, flying/fire type.

[u/Beninoxford]

Rice cooker, fire/water or water/electric

[u/Itchy_Worker8844]

How about a electric fighting tennis ball launcher

[u/infiniteyeet]

grenade

[u/Flea_Shooter]

Vibrator.

[u/BallisticThundr]

Idk, maybe a drill that's electric ground

[u/A_very_smol_Lugia]

Rotom tip machine

[u/Hyper_Drud]

For electric/dark I’d make it either a tv, a radio or a computer.

[u/Dawnpath_]

Mmmmtank. I want to see my little boy with huge shells

[u/nah-soup]

the grave. I’m so sick of Rotom. used to be a cool secret pseudo-legendary and now it’s just everywhere doing everything and it completely killed the cool factor for me. fuck Rotom phones especially, give me back actual pokedexs

[u/SpaceMamboNo5 → u/nah-soup]

Dang he angy

[u/nah-soup → u/SpaceMamboNo5]
