"It’s so weird to see people turn around and miss HMs more and more."

The removal of HMs was one of the best decisions I only remember people praising over. No longer did we need a slot wasted on a Pokémon only to know four field moves and prevent a full real team, or hinder a full team by wasting a move slot on each of them to traverse the region. Unova left many of them needed only for optional routes outside of small exceptions, Alola replaced them with partner Pokemon to a similar effect, and Galar’s design only demanded the bike for inaccessible places. The freedom of team design and move sets are a breath of fresh air for all who wish to run a viable six-man party. No more HM slaves, no more lacking type coverage, no more waiting till the League to craft a full team of good moves.Why the nostalgia for them anymore when the past five years of games have worked around the need? via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3wkIbPk
