>own 'monsIt's fine when the HM moves are also just good moves, but then you get rock smash, cut, defog, whirlpool, etc.
Also the existence of multiple water HMs in every region that has them is annoying because you either need a slave for the other or you need to teach your water type both surf and waterfall, wasting move slots effectively.
Also HM distribution limits your options for a main-game team. Go try and complete hoenn without having a water type on your main team.
>slaves aren't hard to getRide pager would eliminate any need for slaves
Honestly the solution to this shit is to start having some key items to replace the crappier TMs, then we're left with decent moves like surf, fly, strength, etc. Maybe even buff Cut, Rock Smash, and so-on.
