4th Gen HM's really annoy me?

[Kindred Sworn]

I usually use one or two HM slaves that end up being either an oddish or gyarados that I end up naming "dumb%$!" or "A retard" or something of the like for some laughs when they use them. I only teach fly and surf HMs to any of my main Pokemon team.

Surf and Waterfall are good, Fly is ok-ish and Strength can be used over Return if I don't have Return on me.

Some are shocking though. Defog? Cut? Come on...

It makes me glad I can use a Bibarel for 6 HM's. Good ol' Bibarel.

Uhhh...yeah. They annoy use all. Most of these abilities seem obvious. Why not use Iron Tail and smash open the boulders? Then buy a yacht.

Sorted. Now you can travel the world with Electivire.


They had to do something to make things complicated, didn't they?


Quit complaining.


EDIT:

My solution is: impersonate a Pokemon Ranger.

Whenever you need to use a HM, a pokemon that can learn it will be wild closeby, right? All I do is catch 'em when I need 'em

Agreed. I love Bibarel only for that reason.

The only problem I have with HMs is when I get halfway through a long cave and realize I need one I don't have to keep going. That's nothing an Escape Rope can't cure, though.

I hate Defog. And Rock Smash >_>
Annnd... Well, it's easier to say what HMs I don't hate. Surf and Fly.

Rock Smash, Cut = useable if you have Scizor.

Technician turns Rock Smash into a power 80 fighting move with a chance of defense drop.
Cut will become power 100 or 110, I think (not sure what Cut is normally)
