For Want of Rotom Devices

If there's a particular aspect that different Pokémon things have popularized in recent times, it's the use of equipment powered by Rotom, which may be called "Rotom devices". They make up the "molded forms" that I wrote about some time ago as part of a discussion on the possible ubiquity of Rotom, with the first two members being the quirky Rotom Dex and the sensible Rotom Phone. Being a Pokémon fan, I take interest in this particularity and even in the desire for one if such things were possible.

Most recently, the latest member of these devices has been introduced as the "apparent" Rotom Tablet, which like the Rotom Phone, resembles the device it is so aptly named for, only with the characteristic appearance as with the phone incarnation. It is capable of what a real tablet is expected of, yet it too can float like the Rotom Dex and do much of the same things as the phone. It may be considered an essential device as with the phone for certain Trainers as it has similar assistive qualities.

That said, I have a pretty capable phone, which doesn't resemble the Rotom Phone but could appropriately be one in the world of Pokémon. I could, however, see the potential for a Rotom Tablet - at least something in real life with similar capabilities, except maybe for the floating aspect - to be used in all parts of my life, including those that deal with Pokémon. Though presently a few matters hold back my possible possession of such a device, the possibility may open up just as more Pokémon things open up for me.

And while I may not need a Rotom Dex, the tablet and phone versions seem essential enough as they are for any device in the modern age. They're already necessary for realizing what Pokémon can be, and then taking it all in for what it means in life. The existence of the "Rotom devices" in the world is still a testament to technological advancement that can similarly apply in this world, even without the quirks of the Pokémon species that make all things work behind the scenes of the particular devices.
