>battle online
>there is a 85% chance the opponent has a Rotom-W

Why can't people make Pokemon teams for themselves? It seems that most people watch YouTube videos or just cut/paste Smogon moveset.

rotom-w isn't even that common anymore, not even close to 85% usage

Because it fills many roles and can runt different sets. It's also a good Pokemon.

People don't use Rotom-W because Smogon tells them to, they use it because it's good.

>In a casual setting, there is no problem with limiting yourself to your “bros” or to not using Pokémon you feel are overpowered or uninteresting. However, given that you are on this site and reading this article, I’m assuming that you are interested in competitive battling, where your primary goal should be winning. Placing arbitrary limitations, like deciding not to use Kangaskhan because you perceive it to be broken, will not help you achieve your goal of winning. In fact, as Sirlin points out in his article, this arbitrary limit can often be a bad thing. Refusing to use certain Pokémon on principle is a good way to get absolutely trounced by them, especially given that many of the popular targets of scorn in the metagame are some combination of powerful, bulky, and speedy. Practicing with these Pokémon is an excellent way to understand how to defeat them, and an effective player takes advantage of this practice to better understand and even help develop the metagame.

Because Rotom-W is what shitty players stick on their team when they don't know what else to put there, and most players are shitty.

Hopefully M-sceptile will be enough to stump its usage for a bit

Because people will always use what's good. Not that hard.

Honestly, I stopped playing competitively due to the lack of variety. It wasn't fun anymore.

I use it because I wanted an electric type and there's not many good ones.

Its primary purpose is to be a sort of glue for shitty team builders. It isn't a bad pokemon, but it is not nearly as good as its usage.
