How to replace HMs with TMs

[KaratGaming]

In Sun and Moon, the HMs are gone and replaced with the PokeRider.

Now in a GBA Pokemon Rom, is there any way the HMs can be replaced by TMs via code, or HM moves turned into TMs?

I think it has to be hex editing of the tables / asm to turn HMs into TMs. It's not something I've tried though.

What you might like is the coding that was already done by FBI and Uncommon, I think, to remove the need for getting HMs in the first place by having pokemon of their respective typing be able to break/ride into water/etc without knowing the HM move. It should be in Resources.

I see. Removing HMs does sound complicated, but I did think of transportation methods for ingame.

What exactly do you mean by this? There's only a few differences between a TM and an HM in Gen III. The only really significant one is the fact that you can't delete an HM move without the Move Deleter, and this is easily fixed with a well-documented hex edit.

You can also check out the HM hack I built using FBI's HM research or mbcn10ww's version of it.

Sounds handy, I might try it out soon.
