>>44752050The fact that this is always the solution it comes down to in these threads makes me so confused as to why Game Freak hasn't done it yet. It's been clear since gen 5 heavily reduced the need for HMs that they've been trying to get rid of that requirement. so why not just make it an inherent trait of pokemon that can do it the way riding on certain pokemon in LGPE was handled? And now that we've got something as ridiculous as the rotom bike to fall back on there's no reason for progression to be gated behind team composition either, maybe just make it available later while pokemon abilities can be used as soon as you get those pokemon to encourage exploring on your own to reach optional areas and swap pokemon around to try different things early on.
