You can unlock special Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Rotom phone cases for those who've played other mainline Pokémon games.

Here's how all save bonuse work - and change Rotom phone cases when you unlock them.

There are four Rotom Phone cases to collect in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. To earn them, you will need to have save data for the corresponsing Pokémon game. The four games are as follows:

If you have any of these saves, to unlock them, talk to the woman in front of the stairs leading up to Mesagoza’s central plaza.

It takes approximately two hours of play time to reach the point where this feature is available. If you mainline it, you can reach the city in around an hour - though you will have to forgo catching any Pokémon you see for the time being!

You can see the location of the mysterious woman on the map below:
