You know after BW came out, with bridges, and boulders only restricting side paths, I had hoped they learned not to mandate HMs. XY walked right back into it, actually requiring Fly for the first time ever.
I think for story reasons Geosenge town is blocked off at a specific point although you might be able to get in through reflection cave, I never tried.
I'm thankful X and Y cut down on the HMs but Cut still sucks.
In my opinion, most of the HM moves only really exist to be used on the field and aren't really meant for battles. The only ones that are actually useful are Surf, Fly, Waterfall, and to a lesser extent Dive, which is just a water type version of fly. The rest are utterly useless, though it's possible that most of them are weak because virtually any Pokemon can learn them, and they don't want low-level Pokemon to have killer moves.
