Surf is great, Strength is OK if you have a normal type or a heavy physical attacker, but everything else is either complete sh*t or redundant, especially in generation 3.

Fly is a good move, just boring since it takes extra turns. The AI can't exploit it so it's practically no downside aside from wasting your time

yeah, because you need to carry slaves all game long right? sh*t becomes a non issue once you reach the next town and can fly over which is something ALL pokemon games have anyway

Yes because the game gives me no reason not to use slaves.It’s weird how you morons defend all these objectively sh*tty mechanics like HMs and no team exp share that discourage using full teams and then proceed to surprisedpikachu.jpg when people don’t bother using full teams.

This is the only thing I actually don't like about them. I don't know why they did that, it's not like you can get stuck without them since they're infinite use

This is the only downside to HMs. They're fun and make exploring feel like an adventure.

Gamefreak should sell empty game cartridges then, you don't need to use anything to beat the game since there is no game. I'm sure you'd buy it at full price plus tip.

Exactly, that's why I'm saying the ideal game for you has nothing in it at all, nothing wasting your time. Your standards aren't very consistent. - Anonymous

Surf, rock climb, strength, waterfall dive and fly are all usable in the game. If strength was fighting type it'll be very usable.

21 fricking years of my life and somehow i never had this thought cross my mind before i saw this post. it's like not knowing what blue looks like your entire life and then stepping outside and seeing the sky for the first time. or being picrel and discovering what makes the chirp.

Going to have to say no to that. Fighting types are pretty basic, but there's atleast a sense of finesse for their moves. Strength is just that, strength, and it isn't applied tactically or strategically like say, Close Combat or Low Sweep.- Anonymous

Many Fighting types, such as Machoke, naturally learn Strength by level up. I get what you are saying but it's not big enough of a reason compared to the gameplay improvement it would entail.

the biggest flaw with HMs is that they limit team building. For example, in Pokemon Emerald, you're strongly encouraged to have a water type on your team because surf, waterfall, and dive are mandatory for late-game dungeons. If you wanted a full team of 6 non-water types then you'd have one Pokemon that you can't bring to seafloor cavern, Victory Road (and much more if you can't get surf) I don't dislike HMs but I've run into this problem with my mono-fighting and top 6 favorites teams.

They should have tied HM usage to species rather than the move when they were remaking the Pokemon data structure. That having been said, RSE isn't super offensive when it comes to HMs. It's really just Sinnoh which is miserable, and that's mostly due to Defog being actively harmful to your gameplay.

I didn't say number of HMs, moron. It's not just the number of HMs, it's how they're placed in the game, what the moves are and their effects, as well as how they're paced over the course of the game. Hoenn does it pretty solidly, getting Surf is a pretty iconic moment in the game and a lot of the game design is built around it. Sinnoh simply does not do it as well.

Fun fact. Dragonite is the only Pokémon with all Fly, Waterfall and Surf that is not a legendary Pokémon. ORAS however gifts you with a Lati@s, which can use the three HMs during main story. Both learn Dive and Whirlpool as well in games where it's required.

Trigger warning: This post will praise Gen 5. Do not read if you HATE Bortchads.
I like how except for one tree every single HM in Black/White is optional and is only used to explore the side paths of every straight road route.

I agree, requiring so many HMs is bad game design.
It ruins team building.
