“Keying” in on Rotom’s new forms!
September 30, 2008
“Its body is composed of plasma. It is known to infiltrate electronic devices and wreak havoc” – Pokédex
Pokémon Platinum, released in Japan on September 13th, gives new meaning to those faithful words that our pokédex’s once spoke. As many of you may already know Rotom will be getting a whole new bag of tricks when household appliances run aMUK in Shinnoh!
Starting on September 28, 2008 and lasting until November 4, 2008, Nintendo is giving away a secret key to all Pokemon Platinum owners with WIFI access. The secret key unlocks a hidden room in Team Galactic’s hideout in Eterna City and can be downloaded once you have unlocked the mystery gift function.
Obtaining the Secret Key…
To receive the secret key you first have to unlock the mystery gift option. Just like in Diamond & Pearl you simply go to the 3rd floor and tell the news reporter…Everyone / Happy…and then…WI-FI / Connection. This was a little difficult since it’s all in japanese, but I simply checked on my Pearl game to see where the words where located in english and then found them in japanese!
After you have unlocked the mystery gift function, select the Get Via Wireless button and TA-DA!!!
Obtaining Rotom…
Just like in Diamond & Pearl you can only find Rotom inside a TV in the Old Chateau at night. Once you have captured him in platinum or traded him over from Diamond or Pearl you can head to Team Galactic’s hideout.
Taking on new forms…
After you have beaten Team Galactic in Eterna City, go back to the first room. In the upper left hand corner of the room is a hidden entrance that leads to a new room containing 5 household appliances. Simply go up to the wall and press the A button and your secret key will open the hidden entranceway. With Rotom(s) in your party simply stand in front of the appliance that you want Rotom to posses and press the A button. If your Rotom already knows 4 moves then it will ask you if you want to learn a new move depending on which Appliance you pick.
Here is a chart of each of Rotoms’s new forms and the moves it can learn when it posses the appliances…
Additional Facts…
- Rotom will change back to its original form if you select the spot where the appliance it possessing once sat or if you try and trade Rotom while it is possessing an appliance.
- Rotom’s base stats get a boost when it posses the various appliances return to his old stats when it reverts back to its original form.
- All of the Rotom’s transformations are still Electric and Ghost types.
- If you missed out on the secret key event there is still hope!!! Ask a friend who does have the secret key to share the key with you. They can share the key up to 4 times! All they have to do is do is go to the wonder card share the key. All you have to do is go into your Mystery gift function and select the Get From A Friend option. The only draw back is that this is not over WIFI, you have to be close by.

Yeah, Theres no hopes of me or my sis getting platnum until it comes to America (Or England…)

you guys or girls know that you can get it in dimond or pearl right!?
Actually You CANNOT get in in diamond and pearl. at least thats what i hear
Nice write up Joby. I can’t wait for the English version.
Sorry..Nice write up Steve.
Fantastic! I have no doubt they will offer this in the US when it is released. Then again it still doesn’t look like rotom can be any kind of contender.
