>>26486617Agreed. It's all a part of the fun in RBY.
Now, in HGSS, you get so few desirable TMs before the Elite Four that there's barely anything to save to begin with. Roost, Shadow Ball, Iron Tail, Dragon Pulse, and if you grind at Voltorb Flip for about an hour, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, & Flamethrower. That's really about it.
GSC had totally shit TMs (except for the elemental punches, really); and although HGSS is a vast improvement, the vast majority of the "good" or staple moves are locked away in Kanto or in the Battle Frontier...
