The future of generation five move tutors

[thealphamon]

Well, I think we've all been frustrated at the horribly tiny range of move tutor moves offered in b/w. Just yesterday, i poke transferred my jirachi to b/w. I was going to teach it iron head, until I found out that it can only learn iron from a move tutor in fourth gen.!! Needless to say I was extremely frustrated. However, I think this is a reflection of Diamond/Pearl, where the move tutor list was extremly small, and expanded in Platinum. At least that's what I think. This thread is for your hopes, dreams, and opinions on what the move tutor list will look like in gray (or whatever version comes next) Also, if you think the list will be expanded, share your ideas of what you would need to pay the tutor with for the move (like the shards you use in Platinum). Thanks, and I look forward to your replies!

I would really like these moves added:

Acrobatics
Scald
Coil
Hurricane
Quiver Dance
Volt Switch

I think all currency should be BP. And any TMs listed above are just because you could have pokemon that can only learn them by tutoring

Why bother with move tutors for non-special moves now that (1) TMs are reusable and (2) TMs are not tradeable allowing TM lists to be changed between games? A different TM list could have actually been one of the things BW differed at but didn't.

What would be the point of doing that? Fairly redundant if you ask me, just like how Dragonite and Milotic were unable to learn Light Screen by TM but could through breeding. A pointless mechanic that Game Freak acknowledged and changed.

Definitely the elemental punches, aqua jet, hurricane, earth power, gravity, quiver dance, drain punch, and giga drain.

I really do think that Move Tutor should return, mostly because I suck at the Battle Frontier but do well enough in the Battle Subway, and I want an Ice Punch/Drain Punch/Fake-Out Scrafty the easy way.

I am devastated that B/W haven't got the move tutors :complain:.

I sincerely hope they include them in the third game, as otherwise the move list will just get smaller and smaller. I'm finding that some moves should be made available anyway like Stealth Rock and ExtremeSpeed.

I hate the fact that I have to breed Pokemon to obtain these moves even though I am a long time breeder.

 

[Shreyas]

Move tutors. I need them for almost everything D=<

Heat Wave (yay! DW Zapdos), Sucker Punch, Stealth Rock. <--- Gimme!

 

[Ice Tyrant]

Flare Blitz as a move tutor move for one so maybe Flareon could finally get access to it.

Maybe also Defog and Rock Climb since they were former HMs, since I would DEFINATELY love access to Rock Climb again.

I am positively sure that there will be move tutors in the future. If I have my requests, then I will ask for these:

Elemental Punches: Self-explanatory. The obligatory Physical elemental attacks had always been available as alternative attacks for some Pokemon in the past, like TMs in Gen 2 and Move Tutors in Gen 3 & 4. With these move tutors, it's an alternative for some of those who get them through breeding like Scrafty, and besides, Generation 5 Pokemon needs their turn for these. Conkeldurr would appreciate the ability to threaten Gliscor with Ice Punch, as with Golurk. The latter appreciates them better because of Iron Fist. I can possibly see Emboar get Fire Punch (who strangely didn't get that move now!), and the elemental monkeys each having one of each punch.

Synthesis: In Generation 4, Grass-types all got an alternative recovery method, which is this move. Previously, not all of them can learn it, but thanks to Platinum, they can now have recovery. Serperior, Ferrothorn (assuming they get it), Whimsicott, Virizion, Simisage and possibly Leavanny will appreciate that kind of recovery. In other words, return this move: it's a great one.

Icicle Crash: GameFreak thankfully gave Ice-types two usable Ice attacks that differentiate them from the Water-types, but one is weaker than Ice Beam (Frost Breath) and the other has very tiny distribution, which is this move. This move must only be made for all the Ice-types, because they need different attacks that make them different from the Water-types, who have less drawbacks than them. Also, Glalie needs to be the only one in its family for this move, because Froslass has too much of an advantage in her movepool (and stats) to make Glalie seem unusable.

Flare Blitz: This move, I feel, will be a fun move to make into a Tutor. If Braviary gets this move, it will be a wish come true, because Braviary don't have many attacks to use in conjunction with Sheer Force, and besides, this gives Braviary a good alternative to clear Steel-types. Gigalith will also make a funny user of the move, although it's unlikely for it to happen. I am sure if Flareon is compatible with the move, fans will all be happy.

Cotton Guard: A strange move to ask for, but I want this move to be more widely-distributed, especially among Grass-types.

Final Gambit: Another strange choice, but it will make it more popular as a suicidal move because if a fast Pokemon with good HP acquires it.

I think that's all I can think of.

Thanks for reading.

No, it will be a move tutor to mock Flareon because it won't get it.

Anyway, I recall people mentioning that these TM moves aren't as powerful as past TM moves, so perhaps the tutor moves can be the more powerful moves.

 

[Lord Clowncrete]

Come on gf,make the lives of us battlers easier.

I need superpower for so many pokes but trust gf to annoy me.

 

[chimera]

The first thing we need to worry is whether or not they'll even bring back move tutors...
But anyway, I think they should expand it.

I'd like to think that in the next Generation V game, we'll get move tutor moves. What I expect, is that if we get RS remakes, some of the better moves that were TMs in Gen III, but aren't now, will be made into tutor moves; for example:
- Focus Punch
- Bullet Seed
- Iron Tail
- Skill Swap

Then some TMs that were removed from Gen IV:
- Roost
- Endure
- Dragon Pulse
- Drain Punch
- Silver Wind
- Avalanche
- Dark Pulse
- Sleep Talk

Other moves that were move tutor moves in past games that I'd like to see return:
- Mimic
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Dynamic Punch
- Icy Wind
- Selfdestruct
- Fake Out
- Earth Power
- Heat Wave
- Outrage
- Superpower
- Tailwind

(I'm happy to see Stealth Rock gone xD)

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Move Tutors I expect to see:

Elemental Punches
Earth Power
Quiver Dance
Outrage
Heat Wave
Superpower
Dark Pulse
Roost
Iron Head
Focus Punch
Iron Tail
Sucker Punch
Elemental Fangs

I don't know why you guys are so opposed to the idea I proposed of them editing the TM list between games. Its not like it isn't possible considering the TMs are confined to the specific game now. I'd much rather they do that rather than add move tutors for past moves that were TMs.

Sure, as TMs are permanent now, they could do that...but let's face it, not many Gen III TMs that we lost are useful xD

It's not so much not liking game-specific TMs (heck, even VERSION-specific TMs would be cool) as it is that while accross gen. V would be wonderful and all, you can't trade your pokemon back to Gen. IV, so everything there is lost forever.

Then again, it mostly means a lot of pokemon don't get Stealth Rock, which is good (but not enough).
