When did this guy become the most hated pokemon by the internet community?

You think he's annoying?

Wait until heatran comes back to his rightful home. This gen was tailored made for him.

Can someone explain what he's being used for? Why rotom-w? What's making him so special?

Rotom-W's only weakness is grass, which isn't used much competitively. It's also bulky.

He's basically a hard counter to a lot of popular shit this gen. Mainly Greninja and Smogon bird.

Gogoat works pretty well against him though.

Unless you have Mold Breaker, he only has Grass as a weakness

Just slap HP EVs and you can take a couple hits

You then have the option to use him as a Trick Scarf, standard Special Attacker, Physical WoW wall, etc.

It's because it and the other forms, especially W and H, are fucking dumb. I like the original form, and I get the concept, but they're just really bad--either the concept could have been carried out a better way, or there was no way to make it work. Although, now that it's a done deal, we should get a psychic computer form and a dragon vibrator form

There's a difference between being contrary and wanting to have an original, fun team without over-centralizing "OU: the team" mons. I don't hate people who use OU: the team, but I don't hate those who choose not to. Your way of having fun shouldn't be imposed on other people.

Okay? Don't know what exactly you're responding to

There are a lot of pokemon I like that I later found out were smogon overdrive, like Ferrothorn. But it doesn't really concern me. I divide pokemon into the world of casual play and love for the universe, and competitive battling, and I like both in different ways. Although I still use fun strategies because being Smogon's puppet isn't enjoyable for me

Smogon hates Baton Pass with a thing because of ADV metagame.
That time, the OU cookie-cutter teams are BP chains, and the solely reason Scizor was OU-material (no technician and no bullet punch didn't make him good at that time).
In fact, his best moves were Silver Wind and Steel Wing (bug was physical). His sole reason to be in a team was passing Iron Defense, Swords Dance and Agility (as a backup for Ninjask for the latter) with a resistance to boomfags
