5th Gen Reusable TMs: Yes or No?

[Sydian]

I have probably taught a bajillion Pokemon Flamethrower and Shadow Ball omg I love reusable TMs, idc about price increase, just reminds me of the economy so hell yes to reusable TMs. They are lovely.

 

[PhantasyFight]

Reusable TMs would be great but I think I prefer it the way it is now.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I like the new method...I just look at Bulbapedia if I have trouble finding them ;)

 

[Enigma]

Lol, I'm probably like the only person that is so-so about this. Of course, being able to reuse TMs over and over again is nice. But for some reason, there's just something about this that really bothers me. I don't know if I'm so used to purchasing/obtaining TMs and actually having to be careful about whom I teach the move to, or if it's just too much of a change for me. I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly, though.

 

[~Wind~]

well, it is supposed to be 20 years on fro D/P/Pt, and the technology of TMs must have improved since then. Now they don't break.

Finally! One-use TM's were such an annoyance, especially the unique ones (I used Shadow Claw in a very good move... for when I used it. Now that choice feels stupid because I'd rather it on a different Pokemon now :disappoin Why they waited till now, I don't know... but I'm happy they finally did it :D.

 

[CriticalFlygon]

What? Reusable TMs yes this is good this is very good. Now I can use a TM on a pokemon without thinking later that maybe I shouldn't have used it on that pokemon because it won't break. Thank you Gamefreak.

 

[PlatinumDude]

This is one feature I find very useful. Now I can teach my strong Pokemon moves like Earthquake without asking to trade for multiple Earthquake TMs.

 

[Sakura Rain]

Yaaaaay for reusable TMs. Now I don't have to bug my friends for more Flamethrower/Ice Beams. reusable TMs = awesome

 

[Weavile05]

The only thing I don't like about this is it takes some of the TM's special quality away. But I'm glad that they made it so you can't just use em to restore PP for free.

 

[Mato]

There was always the option of cheating for infinite TMs (which was x99, I think?)

I do really love the idea of having an unlimited amount of TMs. Just in case, me being silly, I taught a Pokemon something it could learn in the matter of levels, or if I made a clumsy mistake and wanted it for another Pokemon. I'm serious. Why didn't they think of this sooner?! Anyway, having the idea of making them harder to find... of course they'd come out with something like that. But hey! I'm sure you still get TMs from Gym Leaders and markets and such.

 

[The Corrupt Plague]

I like them because now, I don't have to hack them anymore. It was stupid having to trade or restart for them and it is great that they listened to us.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

I'm prolly the only one that doesn't like the Reusable TMs. Granted they removed some of the more powerful and useful ones, I still just don't like them and so far I have yet to use a Single TM on my Black due to my dislike of them.

 

[Legobricks]

I'd rather TMs be usable two or three times, for there to be more of them, or to have all of them be for sale, but that's it. I'm ultimately indifferent to the notion of infinite-use technical machines, but wouldn't have made such a decision for the games myself.

 

[Neptune Vasilias]

The whole idea is TOTALLY amazing and cool! Its better as TMs are now the closest equivalent to HMs, with the boring exception that TMs can't be used outfield. This time, I don't have to worry about accidentally teaching the wrong move to the wrong Pokemon.(Like what I did in DP >.<) I wouldn't care about the costs, since Black City have trainers there to battle and earn money. Actually since 3rd Gen, I've never cared about spending too much Poke on items. I've like an 8-figure in my wallet. xD

 

[Pwnyta Jockey]

Guess this means AR users may not see the x99 for every TM. Maybe.
At any rate, yes, not having to reset for Gym Leader TM's or the ones found late game is handy. As is the restriction on asking for 'em in trade threads.

Now if only berries were infinite use...

TMs can't be used outfield.

TM Rock Smash exists.

 

[vaporeon7]

I'm on level ground. It really defeats the purpose of being a TM. Oh well at least I won't TM horde anymore.

 

[King Gumball]

This new method is awesome! I have always wondered why you couldn't teach a pokemon a TM more than once, it made absolutely no sense at all :/ But now I wont have to hack extra TM's or clone pokemon holding them ^.^ I can teach my pokemon some of the most strategic and powerful moves whenever I want now, who wouldn't love this new method?

 

[Neptune Vasilias]

TM Rock Smash exists.

Well, it was an HM most of the time in other games, for your information if you don't know.

 

[TheRatBoy]

Just heard about this and I have to say that reusable TMs are one of the best things about 5th gen. However, some TMs are only obtained through the Battle subway for 36/48 BP and weather effect TMs are 50000 poke. Not to mention hyper beam and giga impact are 90000 poke!
