i love reusable tms. its so nice not having to stuggle to figure out which pokemon to use a tm on. and i dont mind them being harder to find there is always the interwebs for that stuff plus i like hunting for stuff
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
