>>48311724Yeah, and I came into this thread to say just that
HMs were shit but I don't like pokeride and whatnot in a different way. It removes any interaction your team had with the overworld and there's not even a point to these HMs existing with this method since it's not like you have to PLAN for it at all.
Literally all you need to do to fix HMs is make it so you don't actually have to teach the move to use it. Your team can still interact with the overworld, you still have to plan for traversal, but you don't need to waste slots on some of these trash moves, making HM slaves a thing of the past. Is there a better solution than this?
However it will at least probably make BDSP better than Platinum for the main story at least, as much as I might shit on pokeride, HMs in Platinum were truly awful. Literally had two HM slaves at some points.
