>not doing this

I wish they make Surf regular TM move and give the ability to swim to all water pokemon. Same with fly (flying), cut (anyone with claws), waterfall (water, at some level?), dig (able to burrow), defog (flying) and flash (electric), dive (water). This would eliminate the HM slavery.

>have to balance your team around switching clawed pokémon for water pokémon when applicable and only going into caves with electric pokémon
>that is somehow better

HMs are a dated Mechanic
Having to gimp yourself to make progress in any game is plain silly.

>>26752600
Why have it be type based and not... based on who could learn the moves anyway?

I've never done this except in Platinum version. And it hurt my soul to do it. I just couldn't ruin a Pokemon with the shitty fucking HMs like rock climb and defog.

>>26753049
This.

In my current play of Yellow i don't even have a pokemon with Fly on main party
If i need to go somewhere else, i'll just get Mew from the box and use that one

>>26753100
this desu, playing platinum right now and there's no way I could get through without having an hm slave

>>26752502
bruh i didn't until diamond and it makes the game so much easier especially in early gen games where you really need em. I hate that they still have places in new gens that require Flash but its not even a HM. i wish HMs could at least be decent moves like Surf and waterfall are. but the recent games hardly need hms or hardly need you to switch out pokemon. once i get mega evo i just steam roll. wish the game world would scale better.

HM slaving gives some pokes a reason to exist.

People forget this guy but he was the perfect slave for his gen.

>>26754698
This is the worst asshole to catch ever. Took like 20 ultra balls.
