>>26571526

>>26571592
You don't put Wii U game pads in your pocket do you? It'd be awful nice we carried around a container for holding things. Like a bag thing or something.
>>26571526
Will owning a RotomDex count as having Rotom's dex information?
Will we be able to use our Dex in battle?
>>26571526
Already the best perk for completing the dex ever
>>26571526
That would actually be kinda cool.
>>26571592
It'd obviously follow you everywhere.

This is true for me.

>>26572479
This is so fucking weird. I mean the trailer shows it's literally a rotom inhabiting a Pokedex. So you're carrying around 7 Pokemon? But that's cheating.
>>26571602
Now everyone will having a living dex, so to speak.
>>26571470
Is it bad that I'm somehow incredibly hyped for this?
>>26571470
I for one welcome this way of ripping off yokai watch instead of anything obnoxious like their design or the fucking capsule machine.

MOOOOOOODS
>>26573007
Seems like kind of a weak incentive. It's 7 gens in and they still haven't given us a good prize for catching em all. Give us an item that turns a Pokemon shiny or access to an event legendary or something. Fuck.
>>26573061
>Give us an item that turns a Pokemon shiny
We already get item increasing the already ludicrous gen 6 shiny chance.
>>26573057
Not him but, there are basically a thousand Pokemon now. The fact we still get a certificate that we can't even carry arounrd with us or display is embarrassing.
>>26573102
That's not the same as a one off shiny and you know it. And before you say ">MUH DEVALUATION", the trade network shit is already filled with hacked Pokemon anyway.
They also said it can communicate with the player, so is this the first Pokemon capable of human speech in game? Isn't this kind of revolutionary?

technically you haven't captured the rotom so I doesn't count
Surely there must be a way to unlock Rotom-Dex for battle purposes, right? RIGHT?
>>26573126
i would take a chance increase over one guaranteed shiny anyway
I don't get why people are so hyped by this shit.

I dont see what's fun in having a Pokemon I don't want 24/7 with me. With a shitty design. Probably annoying as hell.

People like Rotom.

>Everything Rotom says, it is Canon. Rotom is, never Wrong.
>>26573164
Same, if you went to the the effort of filling a pokedex you probably won't mind breeding until you have atleast a couple shinies. Atleast two before you get burnt out haha.

>>26572812
They're already pissed
>>26573158
But you would still be able to battle with it since it just a Rotom right? I mean you give it orders already. I'm sure this will just be handwaved but it's really weird. People can battle with Pokemon thry didn't physically capture themselves.

Guys, guys what if Rotomdex is an annoying little shit like Navi in Ocarina?
>>26573552
You're implying you HAVE to CATCH it. It'll probably be given to you and glued in your Dex forever.
>>26573449
No it's actually cool
Not amazing since it means more handholding but fun tho
>>26573591
That could also mean side quests
>>26573379
That sounds cool too desu
>>26573591
I get why people think it's fun, but I really don't like the direction it's taking.
Rotom sspeaks to you, he'll probably trad the other Pokemons too, I don't want Pokemon to speak to me. They are animals, not furry waifus I want to romanticaly talk to while petting them (yes /vp/, you're disgusting).
I don't want nor need a living Dex, I liked the Dex in Gen 1 Pokemon anime, simple design, robotic voice that talks ONLY when you ask him something. Rotom will blaber in your ear all day long.
I don't need a GPS in Pokemon, nor do I need waypoints, I can ask my way around to people.
I don't want a 7th Pokemon in my team, don't give me this bullshit, 6 and that's it.
>>26571602
Best post 2019

I think we won't be able to use it in battle, but it will count for the pokedex. Maybe at some point we'll unlock it from the dex, though.

They have to, right? They've made a toy for every other pokedex

The worst part about this is that it's going to be exclusive to Alola.
I really didn't need another Spiky-Eared Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu.
>>26571470
All your faces when Rotom dex counts as a team member and you can only take 5 more pokemon with you when you use your rotom.
My face when you can now take more then 6 pokemon with you (for example hm slaves) but only use 6 of them inbattle.
>>26571592
Rotom can fly.
Rotomfags must be really happy with this, Ghost is best type so i can't wait to use it.
>>26571621
I think you will have a normal pokedex until you capture or obtain a Rotom.
Catching the rotom will probably be part of the tutorial or your first objective afterwards. You'll get your starter, be given the empty dex, and then tasked with catching a rotom.
>>26571470
It's confirmed there is more than one Rotomdex.
The question is, who else has one because they're also really rare
>>26575523
Probably just you and your rivals.
>>26571470
this IS a rotom form, right
what type would it be, assuming you can use it in battle?
i'm thinking:
>pure electric with levitate, therefore no weaknesses
>electric/psychic, because the pokedex is smart
>electric/fairy, because fairy
>electric/steel, because reasons
>>26576438
>>26576712
Unfortunately, they likely won't be usable in battle.
>mfw rotomdex will be navi all over again
>>26576737
yeah, too bad though. rotomdex is so cute
>watching really kinky porn on your best friend
>>26577212

>>26577241
Haha, that would be pretty clever.
the rotom in the dex is probably the professors

Thoughts?
>>26571470
Can you use it in battle?
If not then it's wasted potential
>>26573394
>>26572812
pokemon needs competition. this is healthy
>>26571470
Would you be gentle on Rotom's goods?
It's 100 percent cosmetic
Adds nothing at all
>>26577976
I really wanna cuddle the pokedex
>Pokedex Pokemon that can speak to you
Talking to your pokemon confirmed?
>>26578059
GF wanted something like that in X/Y. It's probably the reason why Rotomdex is a thing.
>>26571470
>rotom plays a significant role in the new games
>could've used some kind of ai pokedex instead of rotom
this is all we need, sinnoh confirmed
>>26573693
>>26571687
>>26571526
And GF won't ever barely even think about this
Omochao
>>26578699
why would they want to introduce some shitty AI when they have a pokemon which can inhabit any electronic appliance? Wonder why it took them 3 generations to do something like that
Why the fuck do people actually think this thing will be inherently tied to a slot in your party? Why the fuck do people think you'll be catching this thing in the game through traditional means? I know /vp/ is dumb, but I could never have dreamed you guys are retarded enough to actually think this Rotom will need to take up a position in your party. It's just there to liven up the Pokedex and give it some personality, you autistic dumbfucks. Maybe, MAYBE it will be available in battle (not counting on it), but you'll obviously have him glued to your Dex regardless.
Anyway, it's a cute feature. I hope it isn't TOO chatty or intrusive, but it's a neat idea.
If Rotodex ends up being a new usable form for Rotom, do you think it will be distinct from the other forms or just an Electric/Steel with 520 BST and an extra move?
>>26573158
yeah, but by that same token you've not captured your starter, and still you can use it in battle.
maybe you won't be able to use rotom because the professor rented it to you to fill the dex, make research and stuff, so it can't get into battles
>>26578925
The soaring feature didn't require Latis in the party to work, so yeah. People are dumb
>>26579054
>Its special move ends up being metronome
>>26571470
Do judging by the video you can talk with it and stuff, I wonder if it can help you to actually talk to the pokemon themselves as well. "A whole new level for people and pokemon to communicate"
I'm loving S & M so far.
>>26573799
Its best to just accept that you cannot please this shithole of a fanbase.
>>26573693
People like this, and people who hate on megas and the idea of synchro are just so autistic it cannot be helped.
They're better off being ignored, their opinions are completely irrelevant.
>>26579054
Would a Electric/Steel be better than Rotom Wash? Or not because of Scald?

Rotom-W doesn't get Scald though.Thank GOD too

I always assumed it did, which means a Rotom Steel would get Flash Cannon and hope for a sp.d drop.
>>26573693
>I don't want Pokemon to speak to me. They are animals, not furry waifus I want to romanticaly talk to while petting them
You're kidding yourself if people wouldn't kill for the ability to properly communicate with their pets

I've never seen a wild shiny in my life.
I've never tried to get one with whatever the method is called, but still.

Electric/Steel
Small Size (<25% dex completion)

Master Size (100%)
66/66/93/111/113/71 (520 BST, like Rotom's other forms)
Like a special Gourgeist
>>26574560
maybe if people love it enough it will be implemented more? i mean the idea of it is pretty awesome
>>26580391
If people love it too enough it will never be implemented again until the Sun and Moon remakes.

Having your companion Navi knock off be voiced by Gilbert Gottfried is a pretty old joke by now, anon. I know the companion character in Destiny, the Ghost or something?, got an amusing thread about awhile back, but Gottfried's voice has made it the go to selection for "what silly fucking voice can we have to make the companion character a joke?"

With all those resistances it would be much better than Rotom-W. Scary stuff.
