Thoughts on Rotom?

Why did Gamefreak start shilling it so much in gens 7-8?

All the shilling has ruined it.

they just realised its design makes sense to use for other appliances
they'd probably have done the same with Pory a bunch if it wasn't for THE INCIDENT

Very cute Pokemon.
They need to give Fan Rotom Motor Drive and Hurricane, though.
Losing Air Slash wouldn't allow you to run an admittedly fun para/flinch/confusion set, but it just feels so wrong that it's the only one that doesn't have a 110/130 base power secondary STAB.
I think the attention is gets is warranted. It's not like any old Pokemon- its abilities make it a perfect fit to be commonplace in a technologically advanced setting, so of course you'd see it being utilized to give a bunch of machines artificial intelligence.

I heard something about pokemon wanting to mimic yokai watch during gen 7 just in case so rotomdex was their answer for having a friendly character that guides you and gives information to you

It was a fun and interesting gimmick for Gen 7, not so much Gen 8 where a lot more people have Rotom devices, which makes it seem like Rotom are mass-bred just to stuff inside machines

Rotom is the only Pokemon that can inhabit electronic devices.

I loved it in DP and once ai was surprised by it I kept it around as part of my team, I think subbing out Luxray. Funnily enough, I've never touched it or its forms since either due to unavailability in a particular game or oversaturation. I hate how normal form has lower stats

The idea is that Rotom's forms are supposed to equivalent to evolutions. Its BST jumps from 440 to 520, and in Gen 4, its alternate forms were still Electric/Ghost

Honestly, it's insane that humans in the Pokémon world don't modify Pokémon with synthetic properties more often. They get an unauthorized evolution to Porygon 2 and instead of fixing it or offering alternatives from trusted sources just leave it to fester as its only evolution for years without intervention. Silvally also gets this. Galar copied the Alolan design to a "t" instead of modifying it to be more useful to them or fixing any fuck ups that ended up requiring them to put the helmet on it.

Because there was no need to if the plan was never to evolve P2.
Not to mention the original Porygon already achieved its goal.

They even got the person who wrote Whisper from Yo-kai Watch to work on Rotomdex. It's a shameless ripoff.
>but it's okay when Pokémon does it!
No.

I'm not just talking about the original company that made it. I'm talking about people in general who could fix this evolution that they've described as being a failure and made by an incompetent designer. They know that something is wrong with it and many people can get a hold of one to study it, but no one has gotten off their ass to fix it or make a new one to replace it.
