>>46313020Yes, the fact let's go's a simplified experience and HM's got removed from the core games DOES live in your head. That's why you're so desperate to infer (wrongly and against the Director's comments of the game) it's traditional. Mind you ignore while it kept HM obstacles in, it also turned them to poké-ride encounters, not able to Fly cross-country on your own pokémon, not able to cross water on your own pokémon - nope, had to use a always-on-hand non-party pokémon to scale it, much like Alola had the ride pager.
