... I only really use TMs on the members of my team who I know I'll always be using for important battles.

How can you be certain you'll not use another Pokémon? Your usual team might find itself disadvantaged against a particular Gym leaders.

[combat_butler]

Ah, well... That might be the case, but I'll always bring Hina and Sony, even if they would be at a disadvantage type wise... They're just so much stronger than the rest of my team that it balances out.

How much higher are their levels, compared to everyone else?

Seems like a dilemma. [How very astute of you, Kain.]

Without more information, my biased opinion would choose your dragon.

Do you hear that, Kayne? That's one vote for you.

[He hears that indeed, and that cheer is deafening.]

I was thinking of teaching them a healing move for Flying-types. Kayne is at a higher level and thus more likely to participate in important battles, but Mist shows much potential despite her young age.

You named him after me? I'm flattered. It's a shame what I would choose probably won't affect what you will choose.

[Ow, his ears. Meanwhile, you can hear Richard laughing at their argument.]

Hmm... I'm afraid I won't be of much help. You could make a good case for both. How much do you plan on training Mist?

I've named quite a few of my Pokémon after people I care for. They deserve good names, after all.

[Mist is chirping something very uncomplimentary about the Dratini family and their mothers, which earns her a half-hearted twack.]

I plan to train her until she reaches the highest level and beyond, of course. I rotate between my Pokémon every day, to make sure they train properly.

TMs are now able to be used on multiple Pokemon - I bought Return from the Department Store, and have used it on all of my Pokemon, and it hasn't broken yet.

[puppet_paladin]

Is that so? However, I received this TM months ago. Would it also have that effect?

{Video}

[used_glare]

I... think so. I don't remember the explanation, but it was something like, 'All TMs are now the same as HMs' or something.

...How can they affect all pre-existing TMs like? Could they also decide to force them to stop working, somehow?
