Where do I post suggestions for the game?

[punksushi]

I have an idea I want to suggest for pokemon . My idea is to get rid of the old HM system where you have to use an HM slave in the party, and just have all pokemon have one HM move they can use outside of combat.
This means that they will no longer be combat moves (so pokemon can't have a 5th move), and that pokemon will all start with a set HM like they have a set nature and sex(except it won't be random like nature and sex).

for example a gyarados might have waterfall as an HM, a staraptor would have fly, etc. . . this puts a new creative aspect on the pokemon team you want to run through the game with instead of being bothered with filling 1 or 2 slots of useless pokemon the user wont use in battle.

comments, suggestions? How can I suggest my idea to Nintendo?

Well you may not be able to directly suggest it to Game Freak, but in Pokemon Gaming Central you can discuss your idea with other users to see if they agree.

As for suggesting to Game Freak (who makes the games), perhaps try emailing them? But we can't directly give Game Freak ideas from here. :x

Unless you're fluent in speaking Japanese I don't think you're going to have much of an effect, either.

I'm sure there is always the American subsidiary. And I bet some speak English anyway.

This is their actual website, I couldn't find any email contact thing, but I don't know Japanese either:

Actually sorry, I just found this on the official pokemon website, from the English'/American part:

How do I submit my ideas to Pokémon?

As you probably know, all aspects of Pokémon—including video games, movies, and the Trading Card Game—are created in Japan. Perhaps less known is that the first team that developed the original property still designs all aspects of the universe. To provide design consistency within the Pokémon brand, we do not accept any submissions for game ideas, card ideas, new characters, artwork, or episode plots.

They also don't wanna get into murky legal waters by taking suggestions from people outside the company and using them.
