I think Bidoof was my first ever HM Slave. I don't remember who was my HM Slave in G/S or if I ever had one. heh. Maybe it was Furret... *searches*
Little off-topic, but sort of related: I was glad that Bidoof/Bibarel was also a water type. I remember back in G/S how I had a tough time getting a water pokemon to learn HM Surf. The only one I can remember being available in the beginning of the game was Wooper. I wonder how it will be now. heh
PS: I really like Bibarel. It's such a perfect HM Slave! :P
im thinkin off furret for cut/strength/rock smash/rock climb and a slowepoke to use surf (this is my battle 1) and one for the tms ie whirlpool and flash fly given to pidgeot
waterfall for gyarados as its a nice stab :D
Cut and the Water HMs on Totodile, Fly on something random, the rest on Geodude (including Headbutt)
So i'd say i like to use Pokemon that are easy and early to obtain as slaves, it's just easier that way
On my current Crystal run, (Poison monotype) I use Suicune. (Waterfall, Whirlpool, Cut, Rock Smash) Other HMs are known by other team members. (Tentacruel: Surf, Crobat: Fly, Nidoking: Strength)
