Understandable, I find HMs annoying too, but I'm afraid it comes with the territory here. You can teach a Smeargle any HM, though, even if that's just a band-aid fix.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you had a good time!

personally I think the best way to handle HMs is to allow them to be forgotten, so you can "hot-swap" them. for instance I could have my quagsire know Waterfall as its main STAB move but swap that out for Surf, Whirlpool, Strength etc when I need to use them without having to fly over to the move deleter. That way you're still using your team members for traversal, and there's still a use case for keeping a HM friend in your party to save time from having to swap moves.

though I did some digging and it seems the conventional way to hack the game to make HMs forgettable also has the side effect of making them consumable, thus requiring another modification to make TMs infinite use (which definitely would be a step too far for this hack) so someone would have to find another way to implement it
 
Your hack looks amazing!!! That said I have a quick question as I just patched and am going to start playing soon. Is there a way to get a 6iv ditto in the hack for breeding? I want to get all stars on my trainer card and I imagine I will have to breed good mons for the battle frontier.

Honestly for that just use PkHex after you've completed the superboss quest. Technically you can farm Dittos on R47 but getting a 6IV Ditto is such a pain that you ought to just PkHex in one to breed with once you've completed the campaign and all that. There was no feasible way to make this part of the game organically.

Thanks for the reply I didn't know I could use PkHex so I will probably do that. I just thought I would ask since I've seen allot of different rom hacks that add an in game trade or something that gives a ditto for breeding purposes.
