Okay, I have searched this forum for aquatic maneuvers, cut, strength, fly, and swim and cannot find anything about this subject.
So, how do you get these moves? Where do I find them? And are they in the game?
I would like to just be able to fly to each city. I would like to go to the power plant but need to swim there. Then there is the Forrest near pallet town that needs cut. And digglet's cave that needs strength.
Dunno if any has answered you yet but:
You can view which pokes have the HM moves in the dex; they have some symbol after the name.
Usually the pokes that have them are evos, lean towards the end of the evo line.
Anyways some tips:
1. Would recommend picking charmander or squirtle as starter; cuz you can get an oddish on the next map, along w/ pidgey and rattata [useful against Sabrina due to dark moves]
1a. Speaking of the HM moves, Mewtwo is the best [having all 5], coming in 2nd is Dragonite [4/5; not sure where to get through so maybe need cheat mode]; but easy-ish to obtain are Charizard [Str + Fly], Kinglar [Surf + Cut] or Feraligator [Surf+Str+Cut]
2. Once you beat brock, recruit him. The random villain team spawns are uber annoying w/o a 2nd, at least when starting out
2a. Speaking of Brock; get a geodude -- It's evo has rockslide [AoE] and rollout [continuous]. Useful against said villainous teams + not having to rest
3. In order to get H scenes you gotta beat the female gym leaders then hangout w/ them & obtain affection. Gifting is the best way to get the points [if you gift the mons they like, usually their specialist type; viewable on the contacts tab (upper right, looks like some message thing for phone]
Still no clue how to get the NPCs
