==========================================================
HM's, or "Hidden Machines", have been a long-running feature in the main series Pokemon games. Introduced in Gen I and basically forcing themselves upon us for all six Gen's, these special items contain moves that help Pokemon to assist their Trainers in getting past certain obstacles in the world, moves like Cut, Surf, Dive, Fly, and many more. And while they've been useful when necessary, most people would agree that said usefulness only goes so far, and that, in the long run of any given save file on a Pokemon game, HM moves could be done away with and there would be virtually no tears shed.
However, I realize there might be some people who disagree and feel that HM's are essential to the games just the way they are. So, for those who still think HM moves are such a staple of the franchise that they could never be done away with, allow me to try and convince you otherwise, as I tell you all of the reasons that I feel like we really DON'T need HM's in the Pokemon games anymore!
