didnt say it was bad... it just fucking suprising that shit comes up... I swear it sounds like folks music from SEA culture =__=.... but yeah, i dont like that song.

I love the touch on how you could add element into the theme song though. The black dude on the bridge beatbox so pro? :D

You want more HM usage in the game? are you serious? That's the first time I've ever heard that.

You may be the only person in the world that actually WANTS new HMs.

Personally, I hate them because you may be forced to waste a move slot on one of your good pokemon. Yes, you can find HM slaves, but it's such a pain in the ass when the HMs themselves could just be like passive moves that don't take up one of the four move slots. That would make things so much easier.

I'm most of the way through a playthrough on this and I have to say I think it does a good job for the franchise. The story has evolved and is a little more intricate, the new features are welcome and not annoying, and it maintains the same formula that made the previous ones successful. My only gripe is that the new pokemon seem to be lacking in general in terms of design. There are a few nice ones but generally they're a bit dumb (the sentient ice cream cone is the dumbest one in the series imo).

no.... new HM means new puzzle solver = new puzzle.
See how flash and rock breaker are now normal TM but used as HM?... i mean there should be some puzzle in the game that absolutely require a huge amounts of HM. I remember how i catch the ice bird back in LeafGreen 5 times... each time i try to solve it for 3 days @_@... (didnt have internet + computer back then T_T)

Wow are you serious?

The puzzles in Pokemon aren't fun and HMs are a waste of space. Maybe if they weren't absolutely TERRIBLE moves (except Surf and on occasion Waterfall) I wouldn't mind HMs. As it stands though they suck, take up a valuable move slot, and are a general nuisance.

If it's one thing I hate about Pokemon it's the HM bullshit.

Black and White's main story doesn't require any HMs, IIRC. I can't speak for the endgame though. Best thing ever. It pissed me off beyond belief how I needed HMs for the Victory Road in D/P/Pt. Because then I had to fight with 5 Pokemon, so that I could have an HM slave. No way in hell am I using any HMs in battle unless it's Surf, Waterfall, or Fly.

I mean, why should a shitty move like Rock Smash be permanent? : |

tl;dr: HMs are retarded.

The ice puzzles in Pokemon are so fun! I forgot which generation had the one where you had to walk over the ice that cracked in two steps to unlock the staircase. Great idea imo, but it's all sliding now. Yuck.

I don't mind HMs now because Strength and Cut are a lot stronger now, while they boosted Surf and Waterfall a while back. Rock Smash, Dive and Whirlpool are the only random ones. Oh, and Fog (what were they thinking).

Defog was so dumb. They were basically like "See? No Flash needed anymore!" Then they introduced Defog, which is the same damn thing : /

HM slaves are terrible. Once I've beaten the game and I'm EV training/IV breeding, I still have a freaking Bidoof and Skarmory in my lineup to cover all 8 HM's - it's the most terrible thing.

Does anyone like the 3 stupid chimps at the start? They are the most annoying fags I've ever seen in a pokemon game. They don't do shit and they are not that easy to beat.

I wish they took out HMs completely and only had puzzles like the sliding ice/cracking ice puzzles. I would love it if they made it so that as long as you have a certain gym badge you can surf with any water pokemon, fly with any flying pokemon, etc.

That way you could also have 6 fighting pokes, which opens up more epic battles. Why don't the later gym leaders have teams of 6? I'm glad the final battles had some nearly good movesets for a change though.

When I was fighting N or something, he sent out Klinklang against my Excadrill. I was like "Dude are you serious I'm just gonna EQ since I already set up with Swords Dance >.>"

Then it one shot me with Focus Blast. I just sat there in awe. Then like 5 turns later the game said "Zoroark's Illusion wore off!"

Well played, AI. Well played.

They should just make all HMs good moves.

Surf and Waterfall are already the best special/physical water moves around. Fly would be excellent if it just was a single turn move without any other changes. Increase Cut power to 90 and make it Grass, Make Strength a fighting move, reduce its power by 15 and give it a +1 attack chance.

Bam all HMs are now amazing except dive which is almost never used anyway. Strength wouldn't be so great but the last thing needed would be half of the pokemon out there being able to learn a ridiculously strong Fighting type move, Grass and Flying aren't as powerful offensive types so it's not a big deal.

HMs aren't puzzles though. They're simply ways to present roadblocks so the player doesn't leave cities and get to later areas without getting the badge first. If it wasn't for HMs, in RBY, so many people would get to the Pokemon League, and would have to travel back to every city to get badges. HMs were just used as a tool for game design, and they're extremely outdated. They restrict choice, and don't give the player any meaningful interaction with the environment. The way they do it in this game (plot events that require badges, and HMs leading to optional items and shortcuts) is a much better way to lead the player through the game.

Cut to 90 seems excessive. Maybe 85 or 80 Base Power. Rock Smash into a Rock-type move please, 60 Base Power. Strength has 80 Base Power this Generation so that's good. Too bad Normal-type moves have no use ever.

Who decided Surf would be 90 Base Power and hits everything on the field...
And Earthquake is still the strongest move in the game...

And what happened to Secret Power? I liked my random house-in-a-tree.

@above, HMs aren't bound by Gym Badges in Black and White.

Honestly, the way it is now with optional HM usage is fine, why increase the power of HM moves if they aren't required anymore?

edit @above: I didn't say they were?
