Befriend Rotom and Unlock New Features: Gain New Items Using Roto Loto
Source: Official Pokemon Website
The Roto Loto is a new mechanic which makes daily activities in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon much easier. These feature is a nod to the O-Powers which first debuted in Pokemon X and Y, where in Trainers get to spend some Points in order to avail the certain boosts in the game. These range from decreasing the time spent hatching an eggs and raising the Experience Points which were features that previously plagued Pokemon Sun and Moon players.
Although majority of these elements will return to the new games, a share of new options include Roto Friendship, Roto Encounter, and Roto Stealth. These options affect the happiness counter, and possibility of encountering wild Pokemon. As for Roto Stealth, there is no confirmation of its purpose yet but it may function as the opposite of Roto Encounter. The Trailer shows that using Roto Loto follows a similar animation to the use of Hidden Machines (HMs) from previous games, a feature which was removed in place of the new Poke Ride system.
Befriend Rotom and Unlock New Features: Rotom has Z-Power, too!
The English Trailer also shows that Rotom Dex has an involvement during in-game battles. From the trailer, it enables the Trainer to issue his Pokemon to perform another Z-move even after spending a Z-Crystal on the previous turn. In comparison to Sun and Moon, Trainers were only given 1 chance to unleash one of their Pokemon’s Z-moves in battle be it offline or online play.
Looking at the Trailer, the video focuses on an NPC Battle rather than an online one. This may emphasize that it will be applicable only for offline play, a feature that resembles the permanent buffs gained by raising the Pokemon’s Affection in Poke Refresh.
