With inherent backtracking and the ability to bypass specific obstacles, HMs and badge requirements give Pokemon games an almost Metroidvania approach to RPGs, even if they've never used these tools to the fullest.
In fact, they're often used so poorly that HMs are seen as a nuisance by some.
What are some ways to capitalize on this potential and use it to make our games just that much more interesting? How do we save HMs?
