New TM List?

[The Outrage]

Going with the idea that ORAS will have secret bases again, doesn't this mean we'll need more users of Secret Power? Assuming the method of making Secret Bases doesn't change, this opens us up to the possibility of a reworked TM list. TMs are no longer tradeable so there's no compatibility issues, and I think this would be a much nicer solution than Move Tutors to reintroduce a lot of old moves.

Yes, this does make sense. And if you read my move tutor rant, then you'll know that I want free move tutor moves to become TMs, and they can only do that in ORAS by adding NEW TMs.
So I hope we get a new TM list. I HOPE.

Thinking back to HGSS I'm wondering whether they'll just make the Secret Power dude a free/infinite Move Tutor, but I wouldn't mind a reworked TM list as long as they don't get rid of anything useful. (but knowing GameFreak...)

Edit: Or maybe instead they could just add on to the list of TMs we have now, which I think would be preferable. It'd be much more convenient to have the TM for Secret Power than have to go to a certain place for it every time you wanna teach a Pokemon the move.

My guess is that Secret Power will become a tutor move à la Headbutt in HGSS. And I know exactly who would teach it--that boy on Route 111 who talked about secret bases!

It's also possible that Secret Power can become/replace an HM. Most likely become an HM, since the five HMs in Kalos were also used in RS. And since they'll most likely have to add an HM for Dive, anyway, I can see them adding another slot for Secret Power. Maybe give it an additional feature in the overworld or something.

The reason I don't see a new TM list for ORAS is that, well, Game Freak has never changed a TM list in the middle of a generation before. (HMs yes, but not TMs, which is why I could see Secret Power either replacing an HM or becoming a new one.) Of course they've broken their traditions before, but I dunno, I just feel like this is one they won't break.

A new TM list would be pretty cool and help out a lot of movesets for different Pokemon. It's probably more likely that we'll get move tutors instead, but having that and an updated TM list would be really nice.

 

[Team Gaara]

I'm thinking Secret Power will get taught by a Move Tutor, simply because the TM list will most likely correspond with XY's. Otherwise, I can see them making a replacing something with a Secret Power TM, but that's all; no other real changes to the rest of the list~

 

[DasManiac]

I hope so because a ton of Pokemon that use to be able to get Focus Punch can't anymore. I really want to get My SubPunch Dusknoir but I can't unless Focus Punch is brought back as a TM.

Didn't think of them being unable to be traded, god thinking D:

expect it to be a tutor move though

I'd like to see a new TM list, wanna teach Water Pulse to my Delcatty.

I know, but I'd like to be hopeful even though I know it'll get crushed. Speculating on being realistic based on Game Freak's track record as opposed to what could be done given what we have now is so boring ):
