"Sword / Shield's Rotom Phone - the very first one - came with a bare-bones camera that made it easy to snap wide-angle (screen)shots out in the Galar region's Wild Area. The second-generation Rotom Phone's camera in Scarlet / Violet was a significant improvement, but the device's real standout feature was its ability to keep you from plummeting to your death if you fell from a great height."
"Like its predecessors, the third-gen Rotom Phone's conservative design is a reminder of how Pokémon's gadgets have lost some of their personality in the time since Pokédexes went from being physical objects to downloadable applications. But what the new phone lacks in aesthetic flair, it makes up for with improved hardware and a couple of fresh tricks - including one that makes leaping across rooftops a snap - that make it a must-have for anyone visiting present-day Lumiose City."
Rotom Phones have evolved through generations by adding practical functionalities while retaining a restrained visual design. Sword / Shield introduced a basic wide-angle camera for Wild Area screenshots. Scarlet / Violet improved camera capabilities and added a safety feature that prevented fatal falls. Pokémon Legends: Z-A presents a third-generation Rotom Phone aimed at urban exploration in Lumiose City, combining modest aesthetics with upgraded hardware and new mobility tricks that ease rooftop movement. Earlier camera limitations, such as a second lens that lacked usable zoom and forced close approaches to wild Pokémon, created vulnerability to attacks and influenced design priorities.
