Summary
A craftyPokemonfan has created real-life appliances based on Rotom’s forms. ThePokemonfranchise is rich in inspiration, with many monsters based on mythologies and local legends. At the same time, there are a variety of Pokemon with real-life counterparts, such as animals and plants. There are also Pokemon like Rotom, a critter that doesn’t exist in real life but has a direct link to it.
The reason is that while it doesn’t evolve into or from any Pokemon,Rotom takes on different formswhen it possesses certain appliances. Another detail that distinguishes Rotom is its ability to communicate with humans, with notable appearances in the anime, like Professor Oak’s Rotom and Ash’s Rotom Pokedex. Rotom is very present in everyday life in thePokemonuniverse, and to show what it would be like if it existed in real life, a fan has shared a series of creations.
YouTuber BigRigCreates published a video in which he creates real-life appliances based onRotom’s battle forms. The video shows the items purchased and the creation process, which consists of making 3D models in Tinkercad software for printing and assembling all the parts. He turns Rotom into a charger and shows how the Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom come to life. The Youtuber also makes a tier list of the creations, where Fan Rotom comes out as the most satisfying, followed by Frost Rotom, which had a good aesthetic result but wasn’t as practical. Rotom and Heat Rotom, one of the most challenging appliances to create, appear in tier B, and Wash Rotom comes next. Mow Rotom came last due to its unsatisfactory practicality.
Creative Pokemon Fan Turns Rotom Into Real-Life Appliances
Throughout the video, the YouTuber explains that the focus was only on Rotom’s battle forms, which is why he left out Rotom Pokedex, Phone, Rotomi, and Drone Rotom. Rotom’s appliances, on the other hand, have won the hearts of YouTube users, with some choosing Frost Rotom as their favorite. This isn’t the first time the YouTuber has createdPokemon-inspired gadgets, having previously turned theGen 9 starter Fuecocointo a rice cooker, made a realistic Poke Ball, and a Spiritbomb hologram.
The Rotom appliances made by BigRigCreates are impressive despite the setbacks and show how dedicated fans are toshowing their love for thePokemonfranchise. They also show an interesting starting point for what could be the eventual creation of official Rotom gadgets.
