HOW CAN WE TEACH IT SURF IF HM'S ARE GONE

We use the surf TM that gets added this gen you dense retard

>>27689239
Surf could become a TM, much like Flash.

Or it could learn surf naturally

>>27689239
anon, Pikachu/Raichu never learned Surf by HM
it was always some special way

>>27689239
Well I really doubt that they're fully getting rid of HM's but it is clear they won't be as needed in the overworld.

>>27689416
>Have Surfing/Flying Pikachu that required me to get off my ass and pour hundreds upon hundreds of watts on the Pokewalker
>Transfer doesn't take HMs

>>27689416
I know that but it's pretty clear this form could just learn it from HM

Remember Eelectross

And how it's just magnetically floating there and doesn't actually surf

Yeah, this is exactly that

>>27689239
You based this on the title of the video right?

except its tail is obviously a surfboard and it will probably get some backstory like "alolan raichu like to travel between different islands"

usually pokemon get flavor attacks, it could definitely get surf

The only reason HM's exist is because of overworld usage

Helper Pokemon do that shit for you

If anything the moves will just go to TM's

I hope HMs go to TMs, but there's no reason we can't have an XY situation where we have helpers and HMs

>>27689276
or rock smash

>>27692038

The helpers in X and Y were specific areas just for the sake of the gimmick

The helper Pokemon here don't strip your freedom

You can call them anywhere and do various shit

Taurus for speed and breaking rocks

Mudsdale for rocky terrain that is almost like rockclimb

Stoutland for that new item radar

Not sure the main difference between Sharpedo and Lapras though

Sharpedo can break rocks
