QuestionHow do I see Rotom to complete the Sinnoh Pokedex if I need the National Pokedex to battle Rotom?
Ziyan BatadaCommunity AnswerGo to the old Chateu in the Eterna forest. Use cut to cut down the trees. Go inside and go to the second floor to the door in the middle. Go inside, and go to the door on your left. It has to be from eight p.m to four a.m. Talk to the TV, and it will ask if you want to thump it. If you say yes, a level 20 Rotom will appear. -
QuestionHow do I get all three starter Pokemon?
Community AnswerStart the game three times, choosing different starters each time. Then trade them to a different device and then back to your main game.
Warnings
