Tm/Hm idea.

[SomeoneF]

This is an idea for tms and hms. Now before Karasu immediately says 'NO' at least hear me out first.

Currently when you get a Pokmon in tsr, you can basically patch any moveset in it, as long as its legit (except for egg moves i think). That's extremely overused by me, because you basically have infinite tms/hms and can use them however you please. However, by engraving a tm/hm system, things might be more balanced.

Now, there should be hms and tms in the shop. Tms may be only good for one use in the game, but they should have infinite uses in tsr (who would go and track down when youd use it anyway? when you have the tm you should just be able to use it whenever you want on the movesets on your Pokmon).

Feedback please. This idea is to try to balance out movesets that can otherwise be abused/easily gotten because there is no set rule on it (you can either make a moveset however you want in your inventory or make up any moves in the battle).

I guess when you get a Pokémon you would have too go to the mart, and then pick out the tm's.

(cough my mr.mime knows psybeam cough)?

Just some would be able to be used infinite times.
If someone got Hyper Beam, they'd teach it to all their Pokmon, they'd usually win. I'd get boring.
Strong attacks should be only be able to be used once. Others, maybe five times.
HMs would be infinite just like the games on the other hand, but they would be pricey, or only found in a certain place.

I think also that there should be a shop. That would be nice to have, but the stock would rotate weekly. One or two strong attacks, an HM, and some other attacks maybe. But I kinda think HMs should be only found by digging, and all TMs would have a chance of being uncovered. We'd need a few more randomizers, but we don't have to make any images and such thankfully.

Actually, when you get your Pokmon, you just put it in your inventory as normal.
However, when you give it a moveset or use moves in battle, in order to have/use certain moves, youd need the tm/hm unless they can learn it by lv up.


With strong attacks, currently i can go ahead and put stuff like hyper beam or giga impact to most Pokémon since theres no rules of tms set yet. But i guess its possible to just set a limit to the amount of times you can use it. The thing is though, people/helpers would have to actually go and track the amount of times a person uses it, which may be annoying, which is why i originally suggested infinite amounts so once you have it, you can use it however you like.

I guess that the rest that aren't strong could be used infinite times. Agreed.

I guess it is possible if you start off with basic tm's such as scratch or tackle when you first begin. "here is one tm and it contains 2-? chooses. you may only pick one." just too start off.

And fixed double post.

You know me too well.

But I have an alternate idea.

Instead of bothering with TMs/HMs, the Pokmon can still use any move they can learn by any means, Platinum standard.

However, I will eventually compile a list of all 100 TM/HM moves and what level the Pokmon needs to be in order to use it.

That should make things more balanced.

[Fhq]

That would work.

Sadly, i dont. I try to get to know more about karasu though. And i already mentioned the tm/hm idea to karasu a couple times on aim, and he said no immediately all those times.


And for Karasu's suggestion...i still like my idea better.
