[edit] Games And "Finding Rotom"

Rotom is a generation IV Pokémon, first appearing in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games. With the release of Pokémon Platinum, Rotom was given the ability to transform into 5 other forms with the aid of a special item. To find Rotom, you go to the old Chateau at night in pokemon: Platinum, Pearl and Diamond. The old Chateau can be found at the top of Eterna forest. You will have to know the HM (hidden move) Cut. You cut down the trees then head straight. When you get in you will run into a lot of ghost pokemon, such as: Gastly,or Haunter.You go up the stairs (either), then go straight. Look in all the rooms. (and be sure to check the trash cans). When you find the T.V, save in front of it, but don't turn off the game, this is so if you faint Rotom, you can turn off the game and get another shot at catching Rotom. This applies with every legendary pokemon.

[edit] Legendary Status?

It is still unconfirmed as to whether or not Rotom is a legendary Pokémon. It is possible that he is, seeing as how you must complete certain tasts to attain him, certain requirements must be met, and when you do encounter him, the music that plays is the same as when you encounter Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
