Rotom Phone

The is an electronic device that also serves as an enhanced version of the Pokédex. First appearing in and hence Pokémon Journeys: The Series, it is introduced as a proper item in Generation IX's .
Similar to the Rotom Pokédex in Alola, this Pokédex also has many features of its own.
==Details==
===Sword and Shield===
In Sword and Shield, the Rotom Phone's main function is to act as a menu. This menu lists various functions such as the Pokédex, the player's current party, a town map, the player's Bag, the player's League Card (as well as the ones they've collected), an options menu, and the ability to save the game. Along with these features, there are options for connecting online such as with the Victory Station and Mystery Gift icons. There is also the ability to set up Pokémon Camp, though this can only be done in certain areas in the game.
The Rotom Pokédex can also be attached to the Rotom Bike once the player obtains it. When attached, it will give the player a temporary speed boost in which they can travel faster, though a cooldown will start after using it. The player can tell when it recharges when the bike experiences a small shock as well as a shortened version of Rotom's cry playing.
===Scarlet and Violet===
The Rotom Phone reappears in Scarlet and Violet, with minor changes: there is now a secondary, smaller camera next to the one that is already present, the circle around Rotom's mouth now has a light blue glow, and Rotom's face and antennae do not rotate when in horizontal mode.
It can be used to display the map of Paldea, the Pokédex and the player's own profile. The three apps can be accessed from each other using the X button.
====Map====
The Map app, accessible from the overworld using the Y button, is for displaying the map of Paldea. It includes the player's current location, all Pokémon Centers, other Flying Taxi spots, Tera Raid Battle crystal caves, mass outbreaks of Pokémon, and more.
====Pokédex====
The Pokédex app, developed by Jacq, may be accessed from the overworld using the - button. Pokédex records all Pokémon that the player has battled or captured. It also keeps the list of recently caught Pokémon and recently battled Pokémon.
The app also gives the player items as rewards when they have caught a certain amount of Pokémon, which can be accessed from the list of Pokémon using the X button. After the player shows Jacq and Clavell their completed Pokédex, the X button leads to the diploma of the player's achievement instead.

====Rotom Phone cases====
The player can also obtain different Rotom Phone cases for their own Rotom Phone. The phone cases can be interchanged using the outfit menu, accessed by pressing the ◀ button.

The Rotom Phone first appear in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, where it serves as the main device to all Trainers. The Rotom Phone doesn't just act as a Pokédex to Trainers: they also have many other functions as well. The Rotom Phones can provide information about locations and landmarks, and vital information such as height. They have also been shown to have a numbered Pokémon list and are the first known anime Pokédexes to register and list caught Pokémon. The Rotom Phones also helps participants competing in the World Coronation Series meet each other and arrange for official battles and gives updates of the Trainers' latest rankings in the World Coronation Series. It can also notify when a Pokémon owned by a Trainer evolves, such as in Not Too Close for Comfort, when Goh receives a notification that his Sobble evolved and in When a House is Not a Home!, it is able to point out if Pokémon are already owned by a Trainer, as Goh tried to catch Grookey but failed earlier in the episode.
Ash received a smartphone from Professor Cerise in Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!. Along with Goh's own smartphone, it was possessed by two of Cerise's Rotom, who turned each into a Rotom Phone. Like in the games, Ash and Goh's Rotom Phones rarely speak on their own, but in That New Old Gang of Mine!, Ash's Rotom Phone was shown to think itself as superior to the Rotom Pokédex for its multitude of functions.
In Flash of the Titans!, Team Rocket was revealed to have obtained their own Rotom Phone from Giovanni. Unlike Ash and Goh's Rotom Phones, this smartphone is black, and has a distinctively sassy personality, which sometimes affects the Pokédex entries it gives.

==Trivia==
*This a second regional Pokédex that Rotom can possess, the first being Rotom Pokédex from the Alola region.
*While the player of Sword and Shield can only have a Rotom Phone with an orange case, the cases are known to come in a variety of colors. Hop's Rotom Phone has a blue case, Sonia's has a pink case, and Raihan's appears magenta, similar to the color of a Shiny Rotom. More colors of phone cases are shown afterwards in the anime and in Scarlet and Violet.
*The Pokédex function in the anime seems to be similar to the Pokédex function on the Pokémon HOME mobile app version. As both feature Pokédexes that register Pokémon after being caught, and are on a phone. The layouts of the Pokédex and Pokémon selection screen in the anime and HOME look similar.
**Another similarity is they can both look up moves in the Pokédex in the anime and HOME.
*Like previous Pokédex devices from Generation III to Generation V, the Rotom Phone can be seen in different colors (such as Hop's blue Rotom Phone in the games and Team Rocket's black Rotom Phone in the anime) and, in the anime, can have different voices and personalities (for instance, Ash's has a masculine voice whilst Chloe and Goh's have a feminine voice, and Team Rocket's Rotom Phone has a sassy personality).
*The way Pokémon are registered to the Rotom Phone in the anime is similar to how Pokémon are registered to the player's Pokédex in Pokémon GO. 
*One of the Icons on the Rotom Phone resembles Pokémon GO.
*Trainers talking to their Rotom Phones and it responding is similar to voice assistants on Smartphones.
