>>59071540I'm pretty big on that fortune teller idea. I could take or leave the rest
>>59071091yes! next question
can't wait for music type reveal
>>59071540The only reasonable one of these is treadmill. The rest are huge stretches. I would imagine they would be actual household appliances like lamps, televisions and blenders. No one has a jackhammer.
>>59071832A vibrator is a household appliance.
They couldn't even bother doing that with Eevee.
>>59071540>Bug>Bug zapperSeems pretty creatively bankrupt to pick something that kills bugs rather than something that affirmatively represents the type...>Fairy>VibratorOh, that explains it then
>>59071540Rotom's forms are all household appliances, no one has a fucking jackhammer.
>>59071109spbp
>>59071896>no one has a fucking jackhammer.Uh... you can pick one up from the home depot for 300 bucks. I'd understand if it were some giant machine but tools like this are owned by random working joes all the time.
>>59071992Regular people own ovens and fridges and fans. Regular people do not own jackhammers.
>>59072008I think you're being rather obtuse. Lawnmowers are much less common than fridges, ovens, and fans, but that's fine. And boomboxes are practically extinct. But that's fine. Why not simply say, I dunno... you found a jackhammer? Why must rotom conform to exclusively applicances some specific japanese salaryman would have instead of being able to possess appliances? You know, being a free agent and all. Just such a silly thing to get hung up on. "Jackhammers aren't common enough by this % for it to be relevant to the demographics that a rotom would be interested in possessing those appliances" lmao
>>59071091Not even Eevee has an onahole of each type.
>lamp>television>computer>printer>blender>treadmill>alarm clock>vacuum cleaner>dishwasher>iron>sewing machine>drill>hair dryer>leaf blower>camera
>>59071832The mansion you inherit in Blue Prince has a fortune teller in its ruckus room. Just because you're a plebian irl doesn't mean it's not a goated idea.
>>59072059>woodchipper to feed pokemon to
>>59071887Yeah it'd be like choosing something that kills grass for the grass type appliance. So stupid.
>>59072035Dude, the concept of Rotom is clearly that it's a ghost that possesses objects laying around your house.
>>59072035Rotom has been shown to loathe blue collar workers. Rotom considers them Untermensch and refuses to work for them. So much support for this throughout the games, animé, comics, manuals, etc.
>>59072282so THAT'S why it has no tv form! Because nobody has one in their house any more! Bravo, gamefreak!
>>59072282>Rotom will ONLY possess appliances that are in peoples' homes.>But not THAT appliance, because I don't personally have one.
>what do you mean you don't have a nuclear fission reactor in your house pleb
>>59072594>a 300 dollar tool you can walk into a store and buy RIGHT NOW is unreasonable to think it in any number of peoples' homeslol...
>>59072336>>59072341>resorted to dishonest faggot posting
>>59072606>having no argument
>>59072594>a jackhammer is equivalent to a nuclear reactorDo autists really?
>>59071091Leave him alone please
>rotom threadrotom femanon if you are here say hi
What's the point of normal type?
>>59073070To solidify it as the sound equivalent
>>59073070Either a placeholder or a signifier of steadfast determination for Normal to be the stand-in for anything sound-related.
>>59072035>Lawnmowers are much less common than fridgesHow are they "less common" you own one of each.
>>59073108>>59073127what's this about sound?
>>59073134...You do know that not everyone owns a lawnmower? Like, anyone who lives in apartments? And that some people own more than one fridge?
>>59073136There's a rumor that gen 10 will introduce a sound (or music) type. Lots of random things that group sound-themed mons together like the miku collab or the 30th anniversary stream, this new rotom form being a boombox, and a couple other random things I can't remember.
>>59073070Generally for things that are decidedly lacking in elemental ability or otherwise not unusual or substantial. It can also be used as a stand-in for a gimmick such as arceus.>>59073136For probably 20 years people have been speculating on a sound type. Recently it's picked up again between rotom-stereo and the Project Voltage concert happening tomorrow.
>>59073136Sound schizos getting uppity. It's like zodiac schizos crawling out of their hole every generation even though time after time people point out that there's no foxes, badgers, or crocodiles on the Chinese zodiac. They're spamming all over the place.
>>59073156>Miku project has her pick a representative of each type with a design inspired by it to go with it>I know let's just make all of that into one type
>>59073194>Sound schizos getting uppity.>>59073108>To solidify it as the sound equivalent>>59073127>Either a placeholder or a signifier of steadfast determination for Normal to be the stand-in for anything sound-related.how could these possibly be interpreted as "sound schizos" when their clearly anti-sound posts?
>>59071091So this is the one form in the game that will make it into the mainline pokemon games right? it's the only one with changed typing. I don't think they would do that for no reason
>>59073311This game was made by Gamefreak meaning this is under their jurisdiction. Yes it'll probably make it into mainline. All the other special NPCs don't have type differences so they probably won't.
>>59073311What other type could they have given it? Mono-Electric wouldn't make sense because no Rotom form is mono-Electric; Electric/Ghost wouldn't make sense because none of the appliances are Ghost; none of the other appliance types would fit.
Doesn't need one for every type and it bugs me that they went away from the idea of "only can possess electronics or appliances" to just putting it in every stinking device they can think of it. It living in a TV was cool. It possessing all these motorized appliances was cool too. But I'm so sick of it being slapped into everything now....
what did rotom mean by this
>>59071540I don't think it needs one for every type, BUT here's some I think would be cool. Sticking to appliances, but expanding the concept slightly to medical devices or entertainment>Fighting, learns Aura Sphere or Focus BlastToy robotPitching machineArcade cabinet Pinball game>Ground/Rock, learns EQ, Earth Power, Power Gem...?Jackhammer or Drill (both seem obv)Rock TumblerUltrasonic Ground Spike (one of those devices you put underground in your garden to scare away pests with high-pitched frequencies)>Bug, gets Bug BuzzDrone (it already exists technically, but it's such a good idea) >Psychic, move ideas include Future Sight, Psyshock, Psych Up, Mind Reader...Fortune teller machine (this is actually a really good idea)EEG machineVR GogglesSleeping device >Fairy, gets Alluring Voice, Aromatherapy, or something else depending on whichBaby mobileLove tester machineHeart monitor/blood pressure deviceMister>Ghost, move ideas include Disable, Topsy Turvy, Parabolic Charge, Nightmare..Xray machineWhite noise machine
>>59073492>Mono-Electric wouldn't make sense because no Rotom form is mono-ElectricActually Rotom-dex is canonically mono-Electric.
>>59073597Ultrasonic ground spike is a really cool idea especially since it fits into "home appliance" theme, but unfortunately it'd be weird for it to keep Levitate.I also like the Love Tester idea, especially if it's based on those handheld ones made by Nintendo.
>>59071091>Scrapped beta RotomPoison type>PC Rotom from Gen 8Steel Type>Pokedex RotomPsychic type
