How could they fuck up this bad? The idea you don't get to use Pokémon you've bonded with for the tasks you use rental ones is extremely stupid. I guess I should have expected that, since it's Game Freak.

Would it be too hard to make those HM abilities (Surf, Strength etc) be out-of-battle abilities for the Pokémon you have in your party or CPU, meaning you wouldn't have to delete battle skills to use them?

Now we have to ride generic Tauros, generic Lapras etc. Can't wait for the excuses the Game Freak shills will make this time.
