Rotom’s Formes to be Unlocked
By Ephraim
It looks like this spring is a busy time to be at a Toys ‘R’ Us store – just when everyone’s managed to catch their breath after the recent Shaymin and Regigigas giveaways, PokemonPlatinum.com has announced that another treat on the horizon.
This time it’ll be everyone’s favourite plasma-ghost Rotom getting all the attention, with the release of the “Secret Key,” allowing players of Pokémon Platinum to visit a hidden room in Eterna City and change the little guy into one of five different forms, each with its own powerful special attack. Are your foes mocking your uninspiring team? Imagine their faces when you throw a ghostly refrigerator into the fray!
The Secret Key will be obtainable from Toys ‘R’ Us stores across the US and Canada from April 19th through until April 26th, but more interestingly, it’ll also be available to download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from the comfort of your own squashy armchair at home, from April 20th through May 12th (internet connection required; squashy armchair optional).
Downloading the gift over Wi-Fi works in much the same way as getting it from Toys ‘R’ Us, via Mystery Gift – but full instructions for acquiring and using the Secret Key are available at PokemonPlatinum.com – so whichever method suits you best, your Rotom will be ready to possess toaster ovens and lawnmowers in no time. Enjoy!
Hello? Is This the New Rotom?
Everyone has been looking forward to the new Rotom forms in Pokémon Platinum, but it seems that Nintendo has been keeping one form under wraps and is planning on releasing it soon.
This silhouette was leaked to TPT just last night by one of our contacts over at Pokémon USA. Best yet, we were also given a number people can call to try and procure one of only 100 of these “Cell Phone” Rotoms.
Trainers who call the number (206) 202-7679 are greeted with a message from Team Galactic, telling trainers to leave their Pokémon Platinum Friend Codes along with a description of what evil deeds they will accomplish with the rare creature.
The 100 trainers with the most dastardly plans will be sent a Rotom over the GTS.
I don’t know about you, but if I had a Rotom-possessed cell phone, I wouldn’t know where to begin with the carnage.
So, Tribunites, get the head start, make some calls, and let us know if any of you actually win one of these!
