It's electric/ghost type, and the big gimmick is that it can possess various appliances (washing machine, fridge, fan, etc) to get a different stat distribution. So in Sun/Moon a special Pokedex was developed that a Rotom then possesses. You never get Rotom added to your Pokedex that way, and it can't do anything in battle. So yeah, a weird bit of Gameplay and Story Segregation there.
And the Pokédex gives Rotom the power of speech, too, for some reason.
This is the proper way to play MGS2

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.
Queen of Good Things, Honest
This is the proper way to play every single MGS.

Yes, but only TRUE MEN punch everyone to death.
EVERYONE. Yes, even the bosses.

Somebody get this freaking duck away from me!
Punch them to death? But punches aren't lethal in MGS.

"Kid, I once fought a cyborg ninja, a honest-to-god psychic, a shaman, a Wild West gunman, and my evil clone brother. Suck it up."
"Not to mention, my evil clone brother only died via a superengineered bioweapon. Vampires ya just stake em and you're done."
Don't want to leave but cannot pretend
"Oh, and did I mention the same bioweapon might kill me at literally any moment? Like right now? While we're having this conversation? You've got it easy.''

"Not to mention I'm a clone myself, which means I've probably got a lot of government secrets encrypted into my very being."
Finally caught up after having not read the comic in... months? Jeez. I didn't think it had been that long.
All that talk about genetics and MGS pages ago and the subsequent MGS updates from Katie have got me remembering The Last Days Of Foxhound. When someone posted that Liquid being a dumbass about genetics being actual canon I immediately thought of that comic.
Man, was that a good comic. I'd even call it essential reading (or at least, fun and surprisingly informative supplementary reading) for understanding MGS' nutso plot, even if it probably wasn't intending to be and chunks of it have been Jossed since it ended.

And it's funny as shit. So far the only MG I've payed is Revengeance, which is of questionable canonicity and has little to do with the main series (though it has the best damned memes), but TLDOF is enough for me.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.
It's telling that when MGS 4 revealed that Ocelot was working for Big Boss all along, instead of giving into the urge to replay all the games to cross reference his actions, I just thought back to how TLDOF explained him and said "oh yeah, that makes perfect sense for his character!" And it didn't steer me wrong, even though it never even suggested that twist in the first place.
Not a lot of fanmade parodies can boast that sort of thing.

Always 3:00am in the Filth
Of all the weird boss squads, Dead Cell was the worst by far. Utter crap.

It also says a lot about the nature of the series as a whole that when MGS 4 said Vamp's not really a vampire, there's a perfectly logical explanation for him, fans were outraged.
F*ck you, logic. We were perfectly willing to accept a random vampire. That's the kind of series this is; a series where a woman with magic bullet-defying luck superpowers can be revealed to have no superpowers at all and then summon magic bullet-defying luck superpowers out of her ass anyway from sheer determination.

Also, actual ghosts exist and one can be possessed by the left hand of another man entirely.

Nerds nearly need needy nerdy nerds
The latter was an act induced by a cocktail of hypnotherapy, drugs, and nanomachines, though, at least if what Big Boss had to say about it was accurate.

Rotom is a catchable species in other games, but in Sun and Moon the only one is one that haunts your Pokedex.
