Kinda sucks that TMs are "1 use only" in early pokemon games.
I end up collecting them but never using them.

The other kids called me a cheater because they didn't know that you could store TMs and Pokemon in Stadium's Boxes and then keep restarting your save file until you got enough TMs like Earthquake, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt for a full team.

Is that really how TMs are depicted in the anime? I wonder if Gen Alpha even knows about floppy disks.

Stadium was the single greatest non-mainline game when it came to shit like that. I didn't have a Link Cable so I used Stadium to trade with my friend who also had a transfer pack.

I never used TMs until I got to Cinnabar so I could Missingno item glitch to get as many as I wanted. I also did the same with fossils so I could have boxes and boxes of Aerodactyl and Kabuto.

I miss the days when you could trade between yourself without having to own duplicate handhelds. Sucks that gen 4 never got anything like that.

They are but breeding exists and you could pass TM moves from the father ever since gen2 iirc.

Yes that's why they changed it.

I think they should just be much more easily obtained and that you can't run out of any, and that complete ease of access to them should be saved until after the Pokemon League. They kinda tried that with TRs in SWSH and I think it's better, yeah.

No. Fuck you. This is a step back. Don't try and say it was more soulful or whatever. It's a archaic design choice and who ever said they should bring it back should have their kneecaps blown of with a shotgun.

Limited TMs are better for game balance, just as long as you're able to get more of the important ones later on. But BDSP fucked this up too because some of the best TMs are available midway through the game and for really cheap.
The focus on multiplayer really screwed this series.

You simply were meant to use them for the mons you like, simple as.
Instead of giving every single mon you have on you strong tm moves.

Yes, it literally is good. Choices and decisions should matter, and you shouldn't be able to just load your entire party with 80+ BP moves at no cost.

That shit makes no sense though, the only ones I ever used them on were the mons I liked. I would never waste a good move on some shit bitch I didn't use much, why would anyone? And I would just never use the shit TM moves at all before putting them on anyone.

And yet what that actually accomplishes is make people who care waste more time catching or breeding optimized Pokemon, and people who don't won't even notice a difference.

And guess what? You can breed TMs onto compatible Pokemon.
>>50550115
Is that meant to be your big "gotcha" moment? A Pokemon that learns only a single literally useless move? One of the most TM-reliant Pokemon in the game.

In what game do you get Earthquake before Victory Road? You'd maybe have a point with Dig, but Diglett has that by the time you catch it.

And besides, it's Earthquake, a 100 base power move with perfect accuracy and no drawbacks. You absolutely should have to do extra work if you want that on more than one Pokemon.

Floppy disks were yesterday's news even by the time the first Pokémon game released. Thumb drives weren't the hot thing yet, so people still used them as rewriteable, transportable data storage, but CDs were already the medium of choice for delivering the sort of data that TMs would deliver.

Remember that pokémon outside of your current party are stored as data and transferred via the internet. Pokémon, despite being natural creatures, are digital in some way that is never adequately explained (other than the Porygon line, of course).

Quoted By:

A lot of people seem to forget that the implication with Pokeballs in the original generation was that the Pokemon would literally become data upon entering.
That's why you could store them in the PC and why in the anime you'd see Pokemon being transferred to different Pokemon Centers through landlines.
With this in mind, TMs make a lot more sense.

The only time I actually use TMs is when I know I can buy more of them.
Like more Thunderbolt or Ice Beams TMs from a mart or something.

That's how you play the game. TMs are not necessary in the main game and only needed for competitive.
