Do you have a HM slave?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Usually if I do, I have more than one HM Slave though, as obviously one cannot hold them all.
 
I ALWAYS get HM slaves because I can't take it when my Charizard still has a newby move like Cut on his moveset.>:
On Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, I had either a Bibareal or a Mew (<cheated in case of laziness) as my HM slave.:3
 
I have never used them up until when D/P came out! It was so tough to keep a level advantage and I needed to use every single move slot or else I would get beaten constantly. I did catch a Bibarel after the 3rd gym and use it as an hm slave. :( I wish I didn't have to, but the game's main story is much tougher for me than before.
 
In Silver, I use Lanturn. Surf+Whirlpool+Waterfall+Flash = the original Bibarel.
 
POLIWRATH and CROBAT. They were good HM slaves in Firered/Leafgreen.
LINOONE and SWELLOW. Swellow was just for fly. I also used TENTACRUEL for water-based HMs and ABRA for flash.
BIBAREL and STARAPTOR. 'Nuff said.
 
In SS my HM slaves are Bibarel and Charizard. It took me a little while to find two Pokemon that could learn all the HM moves.
 
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. In Sapphire, Linoone was my HM slave. Bibarel in Diamond/Platinum. But I try to teach the more important and common HMs to my main party, then I get rid of the moves before I fight the Elite 4.
 
No, I usually like to have a full squad of six Pokemon, so I'll usually have the HM moves divvied up between them. Sometimes I will use a "temp slave" in the early stages until my team of six is set.

This is why the Move Deleter makes me happy. When I'm done with the "exploring the world" stage, I can get rid of the HM moves and replace them with actually useful ones :P
 
I usually do use HM slave, because my team does rarely consist of full 6 Pokemon, 6 Pokemon-teams are always underleveled, so i prefer having 2 or 3 stronger ones
Starters, the early-game normal Pokemon (excluding Rattata), most water types and Tropius are decent ones.
 
Bibarel. o.o Only sometimes.

Don't abuse paras like that! ;_;

How can anyone not use a bibarel in DPPt? Ugh, it's so perfect for slave and there are some crappy moves like rock smash that I wouldn't want on another Pokemon. PLUS waterfall and surf are both water and I wouldn't want to have two water moves on my Octillery.

Do you have a HM slave? Why do you use this certian pokemon?

I transfered my Bibarel from platinum because it was such a great Hm slave! Now that i think of it, it can learn any HM move exsept fly... i think ^^".

Yep, Bibarel is a great HM slave. And yes, it can learn all HM moves except for Fly and Defog.

I had several HMs in my normal pokemon lineup before beating the pokemon league in Platinum:

Bibarel, HM Slave
Rock Climb
Rock Smash
Waterfall
Strength

Staraptor
Defog
Fly

Empoleon
Surf

Sometimes I would use my old HM slave, a Bidoof, as it had Cut and I didn't have room for it on Bibarel lol
 
I use Bibarel for a HM slave but i also use it for my adventure too.Well know i think i should use Tropius it could learn Fly,and every HM Except surf.I think.....
 
Same here! I used Bibarel :)

For moves like Strength and Rock smash. Just cause I don't care for them much.
 
I sometimes to. Especially if its at the beginning of the game and I don't want to give a certain move to a Pokemon.
I usually use a Bidoof or Zigzagoon.
