HM Slot

<< < (6/8) > >>

Baka:
There are no HM in PU. Special moves are learned by doing quests. D:

Learning special moves on the other hand, and it's limitation to one move per pokemon is kinda pointless. Why? Because special moves usually don't give much of an effect or any advantage. As for an extra ability slot... why? What if you also want to use it as an attack?

Fill me in if I missed something.

Indeed, there are a number of pokemon who for example uses the move SURF as a STAB base attack, its a 100% hit reliable pretty decent water attack if you dont like the miss chance that hydro pump has.
So if your just adding a HM slot to each pokemon, water types would get a HUGE advantage, actully getting 1 extra usable attack.
If you however add an extra moveslot altogether another problem arises. Balance. The thing is you are only allowed to select 4 moves, and by implementing a 5th slot we might be opening up for some really lame combos aswell as imbalance.
Also as it stands today not all pokemon could even utilize 5moves (atleast not as well as others) again making another gap in the meta game.
And with 5 moveslots you could go for 3 support/boost moves+baton pass AND an attack...  Examples;


-Thunder
-Hydropump
-Earthquake
-Fireblast
-Rest

How fun would that be?
Im not sure such a pokemon exists... but yeah, doesnt look to fun does it?

Edit: im actully gonna check for some 5move combos... BRB :)

Aight found one...

Espeon:

- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Wish

Now that doesnt look fun at all. Pokemon like this would be the top of the OU meta-game, no competition

I think you misunderstood the idea. The plan was to have a slot where an HM could be taught BUT not used in battle. For example the extra slot would only allow you to use the HM to surf on the sea and not to use the attack in a battle.
