    Reusable TMs? It's perfect for battlers! It's also great for people who want to breed moves... right? At least I will never have to scramble for a TM trade again!

  • Reusable TMs were defiantly a great introduction into the series. Now you don't have to make the epic decision of who is gonna learn Earthquake XD
    The negatives really aren't that bad either. I always end up hoarding money, and harder to find TMs means you must explore more.

    I like the idea! No more sitting there contemplating if I should use a TM on this Pokemon or that Pokemon. I don't mind handing over a large amount of PokeDollars or going on a expedition just to get one, as long as it's unlimited.

    I like it!
    I mean, why not?
    Saves money and time and effort and such

    Especially when I'm equipping most of my team with Ice Beam and energy ball.

    Besides, I can keep changing from Blizzard and Ice Beam without worrying. :D

  • On one hand it is very useful to be able to teach any amount of a move to your team I just think it takes the challenge out of it if you have some kind of Giga Impact/ Hyper Beam etc. super team.

    I also dont like how you can't sell them if you need a bit of cash ><

    I don't get how people think TMs are harder to obtain in this game than last. Remember TMs in the Battle Tower? They were a nightmare to get. I've not found any TM ridiculously hard to obtain - you just have to make sure you're looking in every part of the land.

    Reusable TMs are a definite yes. I love this feature. I mean, why not?
    Everything tilts towards the positive for me.

  • I think it's an overdue addition to the series. When you're trying to raise several pokemon, being able to use moves like Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Stealth Rock, Reflect etc etc over and over saves so much time.

    It also saves trying to find people to trade with in order to get a certain TM if it's only obtainable once in the game.

  • I like that you can reuse the TMs. It is so good that you can. No more only using it one time.

  • for people who breed and constantly change their team up (this guy) infinite reuse tm's are a godsend!! i used to be constantly bugging my friends for tm's like toxic and now its just great! plus having to explore more to find the better ones makes for more adventure instead of just sitting around after the elite four theres still stuff to hunt down.

    YES.

    This is a addition I've been hoping they would finally add since I started playing. Now, if we could just delete HM moves anywhere, I would die happy.

  • The only thing about TMs not being reusable is they are supposed to be rare to find, and they are supposed to just give you the edge. Then I found a TM for Hyper Beam and that theory died, as Hyper Beam is probably the worst move in Pokemon.

  • Reusable TMs? I love these things! :)

    In the older games, I rarely ever used TMs, since I was saving them for later (Or for the Emerald Cloning Glitch - REALLY REALLY USEFUL)

    Now I can use TMs without fear of permanently losing them! What an awesome idea!

    One of the best things that my friend taught me:

    Me: Crap, I can't get through this cave, I need Flash.
    Him: Do you have any Pokemon that know TM moves?
    Me: Yeah, why?
    Him: Teach them Flash in place of that move, then reteach them the move after the cave.

    My face:
    Reusable TMs: Yes or No?

  • @above: I use that with dig too. Saves me loads on repel and escape rops so I can save my money for its real purpose, buying ultra balls to catch Virizion.
