How to Customize your Rotom Phone in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

What’s a Pokemon game without a Rotom phone? This mobile device in various forms was present in most Pokemon sequels, and it was used to check the status of your Pokemon, to access options, as a quick save point, and even to see what is in your bag. Yeah, I know, using a cell phone to access items that are in your bag doesn’t sound very logical but hey, it’s the fun video game world where your phone is just like another Pokemon – but in actuality, it’s your in-game menu for just about everything.

As all of the legacy features from the previous Pokemon games have received a refresh in Scarlet and Violet – the Rotom phone is a little bit different this time around as well, and it can even be customized visually. Just like with real-life mobile phones you can put different covers on it in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – let’s find out how.
