>>34806974The main problem about HMs are how they're strictly necessary to finish most of the games. HMs should only be necessary for exploration. Unova was great doing this, since you can finish the main campaign without using a single HM (besides cut in the start), but you still can use them to make some parts somewhat easier than it normally would be without it.
The problem aren't with HMs by themselves, but with the fucking game design around them. That's why Pokérider still looks so unnatural.
