Many must be searched for. Here's a list:

- HM01 (Cut) is located in Inhore City. You can't miss it, because you have to have one of your 23,000,000 rival battles to have it handed to you.
- HM02 (Fly) is obtainable in Serenity City. Go to the first pair of buildings; in one, you get a Miracle Seed. It's on the second floor of that building.
- HM03 (Surf) is a cutscene with Steven in Mt. Zhery, en route from the desert to the rainy Route 412, where you must first use it to access the Route. After defeating the Gym Leader in the city preceding, take a good water type with you on the trip so you don't have to backtrack.
- HM04 (Strength) is found in Enermy Town, in a house left of the Pokémon Center.
- HM05 (Lava Surf, replacing Flash) is found off the beaten path, having to trek west to Lake Maferny from Enermy Town (and then it's only used once in the entire game, at least in Zhery). The giver is a Lauren Gym Leader.
- HM06 (Rock Smash) is collected at Route 409. You can get it before defeating the Seanport City Gym Leader, Lucas, but it cannot be used out of battle until defeating Lucas.

HM07 (Waterfall?) and HM08 (Dive?) I don't have noted yet. However, Dive isn't used until Victory Road, where an underwater area and an above-water area designed beautifully to match with each other comes into play. Waterfall meanwhile gets you to the Victory Road entrance, and maybe an odd item or two somewhere. With two cities following Serenity City, they are clearly found in those cities or along the way.

Hope that helps. :)

The things people say aren't really interesting (because most of the towns use only three or so lines of dialog shared between everyone), but this game also gives you gifts everywhere towards the beginning. It's not so much the TMs as much as everything but for some reason, you can breeze through the game if you know where to look.

Nah, it's sent into the PC if you have full party...
I can confirm this. I saved a state and went through the encounter, then headed back to check the PC to find it there. Back to my state and onwards. :D

Further, I did not find any in the wild looking in AdvanceMap.

I ended up beating the Zephyr Elite Four, Lauren Elite Four, and World Championship with the awesome team of Snorlax (83), Charizard (79), Sceptile (78), Lapras (83), and Hydreigon (89). I may restart as I did not know that you get Elekid in the beginning and I may want to do another run through with Blastoise and Electivire.

But it is a great game. Best hack I've seen in forever. I'll just say that Snorlax is like the best pokemon ever... Belly Drum and Rest. Deadly combo

You find the move deleter and use him to forget the hm moves though I forget where he is in this game.
Serenity City. I believe on the right (east) side of the city, the side leading to the dead-end on Route 417.

I think my Pinsir knows False Swipe. I may be mistaken.

I believe Giratina has a high catch rate, also. You may not need Hypnosis.

This has probably been asked already, but how do you know what moves a pokemom will learn? For instance will a charmander learn the moves from gen 1 from leveling up, or from another gen? Is it from the generation they were introduced? Thanks in advance. Great hack

Generally Pokes learn moves according to Gen 3 move sets as the ROM base are 3rd gen
