Now ignoring the other thread that I will take no part in, one thing in Pokemon that has been very debated is whether Pokemon should be allowed to use TM's

We have long said that "TMs are not usable in battle so ignore them". I can see why this is the case, however, I feel that Pokemon should be allowed to use TM-based moves if specified.

I am iffy on this myself, so I'd like use to discuss this.
 
Though we'd need a key for TMs for Pokémon. Or add (TM only) to abilities that are, well, TM only.
 
Well, if this goes through, then we'd just need to make a separate tab for those with TMs.

When I'm editing Pokemon pages, I always list moves under, well, "Moves" with a sub-heading. I suppose we could just list TM Moves under that with "TM Moves".
 
@NeoZex

We'd probably group them with TMs as non-naturally learned moves.
 
I can agree with this. However I have been long iffy about something.

Aren't things like TMs and HM's completely non existent in the anime? If so, how come pokemon from the anime canon can't have them along with their other movesets? Anime pokemon can and definitely have learned TM moves naturally or through a form of a training.
 
Maybe this format?

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Rock Manipulation, Sand Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement, Resistance to Normal, Flying, Fire and Poison type attacks (Normal) | Fire Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Draconic Energy Manipulation, Light Manipulation (With TM's and Move Tutors only)

Id like some feedback for this please
 
No. Bad. No feedback for you.

More seriously, I'd say we should limit it to the moves the Pokémon actually showed in the anime, not just their whole TM moveset.
 
@Saikou

Aww OvO

Anyways lol, I can agree with that. I'm not actually sure if TMs exist or not since pokemon who learn TM moves learn them by other methods near the lines of natural. It happens a lot in the anime iirc.
