HM Slot

[Dellancher]

I think it would be pretty cool if each pokemon could have one HM spot.  What I mean is aside from the four moves it may learn, it should have one slot only for HM's.  The HM could not be removed or changed once placed in there and could only be used outside of battle.  If you want to give a pokemon two HM's then you would have to sacrifice one of regular four move slots for the seond HM and this one could be used in battle. 

I'm sure pesky HM's have ruined some great storyline teams and when you're toward the end of the storyline, an HM slave sacrifices a slot for powerful team of six.

Just a suggestion...

great idea ive always thought they should do that 

[Draagn]

It should be two and it should be replaceable I mean my flygon had fly and cut so just one wouldn't cut it (pun intended)

It should be two and it should be replaceable I mean my flygon had fly and cut so just one wouldn't cut it (pun intended)

This kind of defeats the purpose of HM's though... they should be somewhat demanding with the one slot being just enough to cut the cost a little bit

And I like the pun

[Draagn]

I know the pun is awesome but I am still standing firm with my take on your idea

[Flawless]

I like the idea because I remember when It took me hours to decide what to replace with the HM but I agree with Draagn. We should have two but two would be the limit.

[Draagn]

Thank you flawless...All I have to say is TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!! 

Anyway I think that like flawless said two would be the limit.

[Dellancher]

Geez how many HM's are you planning on diming out to each pokemon?

[Draagn]

72

[Dracoules]

Thank you.
That idea is seriously good.
Seriously
I'm sick of HMs

[Draagn]

It is an awesome idea and I think you should post more of them keep them coming

[Urmel]

We're already talking about just changing HM's to "abilities" so they won't have to be put in any attack slot. The HM's will just become normal moves.

[Impwadman]

Great idea Urmel. Now people will be able to mix and match with their HMs and TMs but if they want to replace a TM with an HM they can.

Like the idea Dellancher. I disagree with Draagn because HM should have some type of demand to them and one slot for an HM is good. Ex. With a water type, I like using the move Surf, so I'll sacrifice one of his moves for that, but then there is whirlpool, or waterfall which arent very good attacks, so they would be put in the HM slot. Great idea!!

Dellancher, as much merit as your idea has, it takes away from the strategy and classic feel of the pokemon games. The point is for the trainer to have to make the tough choice about not only which pokemon in the party to teach it to, but also the move to replace for the HM to occupy permanently in his/her move set. They then added the "move deleter" (Gold/Silver/Crystal) to unlearn the HM for the sole purpose of adding backwards compatibility to first gen Red/Blue/Yellow. In conclusion, the addition of an HM slot would be tacky and unconventional to any pokemon game, hand-held or MMO.
