>6 Pokemon on a team
>24 total moveslots
>There are only 8 HMs
>1 of them is Cut which is a 70 BP move (good value), only really needed early in the game so you can stick it on a random shitmon if you hate it so much and dump it by the time you have a full team
>Defog isn't needed at all
>so you actually only need 6/24 moveslots of your full team, which isn't a hassle at Ll considering most of the time you only use a couple STAB moves in battles against the CPU anyways
Somehow the narrative has become twisted to make it seem like HMs are some cancerous and intrusive mechanic sucking the fun out of the game when in reality they're perfectly reasonable and make sense for a trainer to need them to traverse the Sinnoh region. It's absolutely vile that anyone actually dedicates a slot to an "HM Slave" instead of just building a well balanced team like pic rel. Where the fuck are my fellow HM brothers who are tired of this criminal slander?
