Rotom Phone

Core series

• The Rotom Phone functions as the menu interface in Pokémon Sword and Shield . From the Rotom Phone, players can access their party , Bag , Town Map , Pokédex , League Card , options , and save their game. They can also set up Camp in most areas once they obtain Camping Gear from their mum . If the player connects to the internet, they can also access Mystery Gift or Victory Station .
• The Rotom itself can also power the motor in the Rotom Bike , allowing the player to travel faster, and after an upgrade, over water as well. Unlike the Rotom Pokédex , the Rotom Phone does not speak during the storyline, but does prompt the player where to go next, and alerts them to happenings in the Wild Area , such as weather patterns.
• A new Rotom Phone appears in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet , sporting a similar, yet altered design, carrying two lenses instead of one. The player can access their Map, Pokédex, and Profile from the Rotom Phone menu. After obtaining the Rotom Phone, it will come out when opening the main menu. Additionally, should the player fall from a great height, the player will hold onto their Rotom Phone to slow their fall before impacting the ground.
• The player can take photos with their Rotom Phone in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet using the front or back cameras via the camera app. This function can be used to change the player's profile picture or Trainer icon. Filters or touch-ups can be applied to make photos more dynamic. The player can make numerous faces and poses while taking a selfie. Other players invited through the Union Circle can also appear in photos, in which they can make their own preset gestures that can be done at any time in the overworld. Many of these gestures can be unlocked through certain tasks and side quests; some are references to previous characters or games, such as Leon 's Charizard pose. Like in Legends: Arceus, photos are saved to the system's memory or SD Card.
• In The Teal Mask , the player can obtain the Roto-Stick , which can expand the camera's field of vision in selfie mode. The ability to play three different music tracks through the Rotom Phone's radio is also unlocked, allowing the player to take photos with certain NPCs and change their expression depending on the track that is being played.
• In The Indigo Disk , by donating BP to the Photography Club in the League Club Room , the player can unlock frames and special effects to apply to photos.
• The camera function is activated by pressing the Down Button. The controls for the various camera functions are as follows:
