A Rotom Form for Every Type! | Gnoggin | Kaskade Region

New Rotom Forms? Yes please! Even if they are Fakemon. In this video I'm going to show off some new Rotom forms I commissioned from WescosF! As well as one other Rotom form I commissioned from fkmnOfficial - now known as FkmnTrainerAdam.
Then, rather than adding to the pile of similar art, like adding ANOTHER jackhammer-rotom, I'm going to show some other fanart by other artists as well! I take no credit for these at all. Great minds think alike.
Check out our merch store to pre-order Tofrug!

If your Rotom fanart is one of the 'unknown' ones, (we spent a loooot of time looking for sources, sorry still though...) Send me an email and I'll get your credit added here. My email is on my 'About' page.

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

For bug type rotom, one idea I had was one of those electric fly swatters. The wires could reshape and light up to become the rotom's face, while electric wings come off it, making the handle look like the tail to this weird bug. Edit: What if psychic was an EXP Share. They're basically super common at this point and the whole point is that it shares the experience through mental stuff

[@calhanlon5568]

Some of my own ideas for rotoms Fairy: An electric whisk, because fairy is associated with sweets, cakes and desserts. A rotom form that attacks with cream and cake batter would be fitting. Dark: A motor cycle, think about gruff and tough bikers in seedy bars. It could have a big, spiked wheel it uses to crush oppoents. Normal: A torch would be fitting given that flash is a normal move and torches are quite an ordinary thing. Psychic: It's a camera or security drone. It's all seeing, all knowing and uses that knowledge to further serve Amaze-all's needs

I love how Rotom started as a Legendary-esque Pokemon and now is one of the most common Pokemon used for anything electronics related.

[@GamerFromJump]

It’s like cats. At first you didn’t see them around people much, but then they became useful, so people started raising them, and now there are lots of cats.

[@sumvaldebrevis]

When I first saw rotom, I thought it was a legendary Pokémon and I yelled at my brothers cuz we would do “irl Pokémon battles” and we weren’t allowed to use legendaries

[@psychopath682]

I mean that's like motors presumably were when they were invented. Revolutionary. Today it's almost everywhere. So I think it's fitting.

[@coreDesignix]

It turns out, rotom wasn’t legendary. It was just foreign. Like zorua and zoroark

[@AbsolXGuardian]

I know Chairman Rose has a perfect IV shiny Rotom and all the Rotom phones are made using breedjects. I mean in Aloha, there are what, two Rotomdexes. One for you and another for Hau. It's only in Galar/SwSh's time period is there an abundance of Rotom.

[@itssophia9786]

I think a good way to represent the dragon type by having it be small enough for the battlefield and also use the space theme is to have rotom possess a toy ray gun. You know those annoying toys that look like cartoon ray guns and you hold down the trigger for it to make lights and sounds? It could also learn dragon pulse

[@MazzHicks]

Dark type could be a shredder, Steel type could be a chainsaw , Fighting type could be a tumble dryer (shooting out clothes like a t-shirt cannon), Normal type could be a megaphone and bug type could be the drone rotom.

[@llmkursk8254]

Wouldn’t a drone be more fitting for a Bug Rotom? A small, noisy, hovering, *annoying* pest that just keeps bugging you! I also think a Roomba-based Rotom would’ve been fitting for a form.

[@anonymousfog501]

YES I did the "rotom for every type" thing a few months ago (i didn't post it or anything). Drones not only do... that, but bees and ants have certain hive/nest members called drones as well, so it only makes sense. if you're curious, had also done a ghost electric (because of increased stat total) and pure electric, which i made a vaccuum and lamp respectively. The only one that wasn't designed to be an electric device was my fighting one... it looks like the Liberty Bell, but it was originally a school bell/fighting ring bell. i also gave them all gmax designs, in which the bug one was gonna be a satellite, but i settled on helicopter, since the satellite makes more sense for my dark one, which is a radio.

[@danisar6153]

If the roomba rotom were for a bug type it could be called roombug lol

[@coryb4902]

This needs more likes because I agree: the bug-type should be the drone! All I can think of are those drone displays by large computer companies showing off "hive mind"-like mentality/programming. And imagine attacks like Attack Order, Quiver Dance, and Signal Beam with a swarm of drones. Plus literally all of what AnonymousFog says about hives and drones. But to further that, the replacement for the normal Rotom could be the Roomba! It's a simple little device best known for being almost like a normal addition to the family. People give Roombas a lot of personality, and idk I suppose I just equate most normal-type Pokemon to how pet-like or personable they are, if not just how common they are.

[@amari5886]

Also, a drone Pokemon would be fitting for Amaze-All

[@theeverythingguy8401]

@Axolotl king it wouldnt work because i have never seen an electric eight ball remember its rotom it needs to have electricity to be possesed

[@martinwillimann5660]

My idea for a bug type rotom is a little crazy, so hear me out: a drone controll remote. So just one of those remotes with just a few buttons and the two controll joysticks to controll flying drones or toycars. My idea here is that rotom uses its ghost abilitys to connect to a large amount of drones and controll all of them at once through the remote, creating a large SWARM of DRONES. This being a refrence to an insect hivemind where a single queen controlls a large colony of drones.

The puns

[@spinyjustspiny3289]

I think the drone would actually be a fun bug-type. After all, the VTOL/helicopter flight capability most drones use was based on the propulsion methods of bugs allowing them to easily control their flight path without much dependence on forward velocity and wind conditions. There are even experiments to try and make tiny pollinator drones to assist with flora reproduction in areas where bees are dying out. Plus, there's the meta-commentary on them being annoying, invasive and making loud buzzing noises when they fly close enough, and said bee drones arguably taking even more resources from those bees. They bug people a LOT. It'd even make moves like Infestation and U-Turn make sense. Another concept similar to that would be a small recording device you'd plant to spy on a given location. A "bug" if you will. Maybe it could even be a secondary take on the smart home/speaker device suggestion for Normal type, just themed after a pre-existing Bug-type to try and look more cutesy and disarming. Either design would play VERY strongly into the whole "We are weaving ourselves into the fabric of your life and your reality" dread of Amaze-All, having Rotoms to act as their... _fly on the wall_ and play into the general fact that people generally feel their skin crawl looking at bugs for too long. Just in a more blatantly justified way.

[@shycomforter7414]

For ground, I think a rototiller would be much more fitting, it even already starts with the same letters as Rotom!

[@flareonguy7922]

I'd imagine a psychic rotom just being the rotom dex. He can use his extensive knowledge on his opponents to pinpoint their weaknesses. Whenever you get access to rotom's forms it is always through old, unwanted, or outdated appliances. The rotom dex from sun and moon is pretty outdated now that people just have the pokedex on their phone in sword and shield.

So these are literally just specialized trash wormadam forms...so based on what matthew cumoric said, why not give "trash" wormadam a specialized regional variant! Also, the fighting type could be those bandages like what you see croagunk wearing with a boxing glove woven onto the side making the "cloak" look like a fist.

I don't know why, but I like the idea of a little RC car for bug type. No good reason for that, the other ideas in the comments make more sense, but I just think it fits the vibe. Small, hard shelled, buzzing little creatures that scuttle around on the floor. Also remote controlled as in "hive"mind...

[@justsomejojo]

The Fairy Rotom design is my favorite visually. Since they usually depict the moon and stars, having the form specific attack be Moonblast makes sense then. For a Bug Rotom, there's a couple ideas I think could work. The first I thought of as the video was playing (and before the oldschool PC Rotom came up) was a computer mouse, because with the two segmented buttons, they kind of look like bugs in my opinion. An old PC or a more modern PC tower could work because Bug Buzz (for the louder ventilation) or Signal Beam (LEDs!) seem like cool ideas for form specific moves.

@@halyoalex8942 And that's enough for you? Seriously that are pretty much all space related dragon and fairy type moves. And we can argue if moonlight is really a space themed one, I mean it is more about the magical power of the moon and has nothing to do with it's position. Also why even argue with fairy type. We speak about a dragon type rotom. So we have one dragon type move that is more a catastrophe and -for that- wouldn't be a good fit in satellite rotom's moveset. Psychic has a ton of space related moves and the vast majority of space related mons. And psychic moves would also be a better fit for a satellite than dragon type moves.

My idea for a paychic type rotom is a video camera, because they work by tricking the mind into thinking that the pictures shown are actually moving. As for a bug type, a drone could work. It flies around with motorized wings, can be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and can take info back to Amaze-All.
