    In games we find many TM's Lying here and there So how do you often use them?Do you think they are useful to win many Battles?
    I personally use them every now and then but it also helps me to win many such battles which makes the game difficulty level easy haha.
     
    I never used them before Gen. 5 because I was always afraid I would need them more later on, though that's never ended up being the case. Now that we can use them as many times as possible, I do use them every so often when I feel that a Pokémon's natural moveset is lacking in someway or another. Some TMs that I use most often include Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Earthquake.
     
    There are some very useful TMs like Earthquake etc. I think TMs are great additions to the games, and they should stay. I always use them, especially when the Pokemon has no moves, but I do miss them when they were one per use.
     
    I'd like to see Stealth Rock returning as a TM. As far as current TMs goes: I like Icebeam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Earthquake and a ton of other moves as well; It's also cool, that you can get via TM and it's kinda cool how so many TMs never changed.

    Then there's moves like Swords Dance and Substitute which changed numbers during generation transition.

    One thing that I'm a little bit twisted about is reusability. It's cool that you can give any Pokemon you like any TM you like, but at the same time, you don't have to decide which Pokemon gets what, which takes away a little bit of the difficulty of the games, as well as usefulness of HMs during playthroughs.

    Why do you miss the single use aspect of the TMs of old? I think it's nice to be able to teach a useful move to as many of your Pokémon as possible. It makes it easier to create a competitive team.
     
    before when they would break, i saved them until i was about to face the e4. from there i would makeover my whole teams movesets. now though i use them as soon as possible, especially early in the game when your movesets are so limited
     
    I like TMs they can give nice additional moves to the natural movesets. In the older generations, I rarely used them, with the exception of the ones you could buy (either for money or for game coins). Those were often very useful ones too, like Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Double Team, Shadow Ball, Iron Tail.
    I'd rather have seen the TMs to have stayed one-use only, the new ones make it so easy to keep switching your moves and practically have a movepool of eight moves. Additionally, TMs don't feel as valuable any more.
     
    I love how TMs can help you diversify a Pokemon's moveset, and the fact 5th Gen made them infinite use only helped improving them further in that you no longer have to think carefully before you use one.
     
    TM's have become so much better now that you can use them without a limit. I used to never use them because when I did, I would teach it to a Pokemon and then regret it and wish I had saved it. Now I use TM's all the time. I tend to collect as many as I can.
     
    TMs are great and I collect all that I can and use them quite a lot. They were very useful in AS to quickly change your moves for the Contests. They're also good for trying out moves as you can delete them and add them again without having to exchange a Heartscale.
     
    I like using TMs a lot, as they let your Pokémon's movesets get more diverse and let them fight more opponents most of the time. You can think of different ways to use certain Pokémon with them. If we didn't have them, opposing trainers would get pretty boring! It got like something else in Generation IV when opponents really started to have them in the least expected areas.
     
    There are handy ones yet complete useless one, similar to HMs. {XD} I enjoy using them. Throughout the six generations, the TMs that I love are Ice Beam, Giga Drain, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Fire Blast, Bubble Beam, Aerial Ace, Roost, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Psyshock, Psychic, Frost Breath, Dazzling Gleam, X-Scissor, Overheat.
     
    Yes, I use them all the time. There are very good ones that you can find hidden around maps that really help when it comes to defeating the E4 in particular. It's always nice to add a move of a different type that can deal with your Pokemon's weaknesses. Also, there are Pokemon that just tend to level up with fairly weak moves and sometimes not much in terms of dealing damage so I find it necessary to use TMs in those cases.
     
    Before they made them limitless (which they should have been from the start!) I never tended to use them unless I found something REALLY good. I would tend to stick with natural moves, and if a pokémon's natural movelist was lacking, then I would probably just replace him/her...
