I have only just got back into playing the pokemon games, currently sat down with my platinum game in front of me.
And it was made me remember how frustrating HM's can be when you have to use HM slaves to get through parts of the game, especially when you have a full team and then need to go back to a pokemon centre to get one.
I have had a though that I think would make pokemon games even more interesting, and less annoying.
I think that HM's should be assigned to pokemon as extra abilities as oppose to taking up a valuable move slot when 9/10 the move isn't good.
For example
Fire pokemon such as Charmander or Typhlosion, or certain electric pokemon would have the ability of Flash,
Flying pokemon would obviously have Fly, but only birds pokemon that are big enough (In their final stage of evolution) such as Pidgeot, Salemence, Charizard
(I have always questioned the idea of my Lv 5 Taillow flying me across the country.)
Cut would go to pokemon that actually have sharp claws/teeth/weapons, Scyther, Meowth, Farfetched, Bulbasaur (Razor Leaf)
And so on and so fourth, I'm sure you can sue your imaginations to decide what HM ability would go to what pokemon, or even if they would have multiple ones.
These abilities would obviously also be dependant on pokemon LV, or perhaps an in game event that would take place after defeating a gym or something
I have also always thought that Vine whip would be good as a HM ability for certain aspects of the game.
Just wanted to see what people thought of this?
