LOLWTF @ Cut form. Seriously, Rotom possessed a lawnmower? It's great that our little plasma friend is getting new moves with these forms but couldn't he possessed something that isn't wtf material?
Can the pokemon between 152-210 be capture before E4 or after?

Cut Rotom = Demon tractor. Also, icy fridge Rotom reminds me of Kirby 64, there was a power where he turned into a fridge.
You think these forms will get the little guy out of UU?
Too bad Platinum can't connect to Ranch, I'd kill to see what these would look like Ranch-ified.
I guess now we have the "Mach 2" updates lol.

Im thinking toaster or oven for the final form (placing bets on toaster). The old chateau is too old for a microwave. I hope the old gateau takes on the a better role in this game...maybe it could be a new rival.
As for whether or not they're ghost or electric I'm thinking they will be ghost, even if boltbeam STAB would have been nice. The chateau is for ghosties.

It also seems that non-4th gen Pokémon that are not in the Sinnoh Dex do not get new sprites.
I.e. All Pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex DO get new sprites
I just noticed that all of the new Rotoms have the colour that was displayed with the silhouettes and are (mostly) typed accordingly, like ShinyElite guessed. The last one was red, so I'm joining in on the toaster bet. A fire-type toaster. Or at least a toaster with access to fire.
Jesus fucking Christ, FRIDGETOM!

Awesome! We were right! Haunted appliances... except I had the water and ice one switched before. And I didn't really expect the fan or the mower. But rest assured that the final one is a fire-type toaster.
Unless these forms don't change type at all and just give Rotom access to new moves. I didn't see on Serebii that any kind of typing change was confirmed or not. Someone needs to hack into the game already >.>
Seeing Dialga, Palkia, and the fairies halfway through the Pokedex is strange. maybe you encounter them earlier than before?

It's totally using Hydro Pump.
Water-type: Washing-Machine
Moves: N/A
That argument also supports the idea that they keep the ghost/electric and that this form is for stat reshuffles(?) and movepool changes.
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1460560&postcount=1555 Needs to be added into the first post (can't use DP, only Platinum)
Also, sinnoh dex update - they forgot to add snorunt/glalie/the other one into the sinnoh dex. Its numbers 206, 207, 208 repsectively. And Giratina is 210.

The new possibilites in this game are ridiculous. I hope our lazy friend Snorlax will finally get Slack Off, but I highly doubt it. They will probably keep Rest as his recovery move as after all, he is the sleeping pokemon :(
Shaymin-S is going to be epic win, without question. All I needed was confirmation of Air Slash, Serene Grace, and retaining Seed Flare to know that it would probably be top tier-OU or Uber.
As for the actual game, wouldn't it be nice if we could get another game where we could go to another region? Much like GSC? If gamefreak wanted to do it before another remake, this would be the time. It would make perfect sense, having a "torn" world where we could possibly go into the middle of the dimension then pop out somewhere else. With Palkia and Dialga controlling the space-time continuum it is pretty viable. Then again, gamefreak is a business and they will squeeze every penny out of us poke-fans.
EDIT: I will be pleased if Rotom is ghost/ice or ghost/electric, as Ice/Ghost/Fighting isn't resisted by anything, and it will give it coverage similar to Glaceon, but with double STAB, albeit likely without Wish, 130 base special attack, or Fake Tears, but still excellent.

And all did think that its a camera and now we get a Lawn-mover, but eh it gets Leaf Storm, and even Overheat from the fire one, Trick Rotom gets new weapons(to many combinations that would work wonders, as none would know what moves it has and what switch will it predict, but only if it can change gorms to get all attacks)
Coronis posted the Start screen on Serebii, just thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to see it: http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/CoronisTwo/GiratinaScreen.jpg
Palkia's new sprite is much, much better than the old one.

I am looking for a defensive Rotom, that would be awesome. We don't have a defensive levitating ghost yet, as Mismagius doesn't cut it with low base defense. What if there is a ceiling fan Rotom that is ghost/steel with levitate?!
Giratina looks strange on the opening screen.
