>>32801983>I still dont get this. Its not gen 1 anymore, HMs can be forgotten and replaced.it's not the fact that you couldn't take them out, it's that you had to put them in in first place, i don't want to be limited from paths and punished for not wanting to waste a slot in a move that i find inferior or just not appealing, such as cut, rock smash and strength.
>and having them promotes building a well rounded teamWhat if my team is totally fine and has a well rounded coverage without a water type, yet i have to add one for surf?
>>32801996>It also pushes the idea of an adventure with your pokemon not some tauros you called in.i sure love when my tropicus transform into a blob with the shape of a bird whenever i fly, it totally doesn't break my immersion, neither does when my swanna transform into a round dark blob when swimming.
It feels especially like an adventure when i need to take one of my bros out of my team and into the pc just to be replace by a nobody HM slave just to get up that god damn waterfall or push some stupid boulders
