If we did mouse-text jokes like many other webcomics do, it would read: "When teaching pokemon HMs, I think that most of us went straight to asking if we could, rather than if we should"
Thank you all for the kind words. Do you all remember my 10 year blog? And how I never finished it? Some bad stuff happened. All that to say, my artistic mojo had fled since then and I haven't been able to make any such art since. You guys are special. This is the first piece I have been able to do since then. My muse, my mojo, its back. Thanks to you guys
If you guys like it, maybe Costello will let me do more for us in the future.
But who would bring their HM slave into battle?
I think my idea was that if you are wandering around in the wild and get jumped by a powerful pokemon, your "last resort" pokemon would probably be your HM slave if all else are dead. But sure, if you are in a competitive battle, no you wouldn't bring an HM slave.
Wait... Zigzagoons can fly?
No haha, they can only learn Cut, Surf, and Rocksmash. I... am not sure how a Ziggy does any of these things. Fun fact, in Gen III, I remember trying to grind my Aron. Just outside of Slateport on the beac, there is a sailor who has a Surf ziggy and it wrecked my day. I will never forget that smug surfing bastard.
