I think that just contributed to me disliking the Sinnoh games. At least 6 HMs you can kinda sorta put on your team so that every Pokemon only needs to sacrifice one move slot. But 8 requires giving up on two for at least two Pokemon. Or you have to run around with two HM slaves. ^^"
But still Platinum and Emerald are my favorite version of Pokemon games which I had played so far. Although HMs nuisance and troubles were there, but they were not impactful to how I play. A decent Water type Pokemon can take all of HM water moves, and someone like Gyarados can learn even HM Strength if I recall correctly.
Giving out two Pokemon slots for HM Pokemon is not that bothering while crossing the routes, because we change our teams before important battles in most cases, except boss fight. And the those two "freeby" Pokemon always act as healing/reviving Pokemon for me, as I sacrifice them to get the free turn to use healing items in those boss fights.
I want to prove the point that outer space an ocean are separated by huge distance and it needs escape velocity to bypass the Earth's Gravitational centre of attraction !!
