D/P/Pt catching rotom

[Chief Zackrai]

So I obtained the national pokedex, it's between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., and I even talked to Gardenia outside of the Old Chateau, but for some reason Rotom is not showing up.

So I am really confused now and could use some advice. Version is Diamond.

Did you actually go up to the TV and interact with it?

National pokedex is needed
for DP

edit: wow, dunno

 

[Chief Zackrai]

yeah, I went to the TV.

All it says is something about how the TV has a malevolent feel and it feels as if its staring.

 

[Coloursfall]

Hmm...I think my game did something similar once. The clock may be all weird, try going to do it again when it should be daytime, see if that works? or have you changed the DS clock recently?

 

[Chief Zackrai]

yeah I changed the clock like three times today.

But I've done basically the same thing before on this game, and it worked perfectly.

 

[Coloursfall]

Sometimes the game catches on about that, so try again after 24 HRS without changing the time and see if that works!

 

[RK-9]

Yes, try again after 24 hrs.

It won't do anything if you try to just set the clock to night and go in right away.

Try setting it at 7:59 and quickly hopping in the area. Wait for it to become "8:01", and leave the room and re-enter and talk to the TV. That will do it, I think

 

[Chief Zackrai]

It's been at least four or five days since I reset the time now, and it still won't do anything.

If this affects it, I only have two badges.

You need to beat the Elite Four before you can catch Rotom in D/P.

 

[Chief Zackrai]

Action Replay. 'nuff said.

You need to beat the Elite Four before you can catch Rotom in D/P.

Agh- what? That stinks! I was going to use Rotom in my team to beat the Elite Four. *grumble* this means I need to obtain it through trading or more hax... dang. Thanks for clearing it up.

 

[Alxprit]

Well, if you're going to use Action Replay, get a Rotom by that, why not?

 

[Chief Zackrai]

don't have the pokemodifier in Diamond.
