Ah, the TMs from the PKMN games. Useful for those PKMN who don't even learn an attack through breeding, or if you're like me, you selfishly protect them cuz you collect them =P

There, Criticize all you guys want =P

[Phinos]

I'm not going to criticize at all, Shadrio (actually, I rarely do! !

I really like the idea! It's a very original and interesting concept. My favourite TMs are Taunt and Double Team!!

Just a question: what would this item look like?

[Shadrio]

(finally, someone logs on and looks at this submission >_>')

Thanks, but if anyone really wants to Criticize, go ahead, makes one a better submitter...

And there you have what it would look like...and the size...am I missing anything?

[Phinos]

Nothing's missing, now!! Great submission!!

Calm Mind: I like it, but I'm not sure of what is "effectiveness" or "resistance" of B moves in SSB.

Hail: Not sure if the freezing effect of the ice cubes is too much.

Bulk Up: See Calm Mind.

Earthquake: I'd rather see it as a POW effect.

Double Team: I'd rather have it more similar to their game counterparts (in the sense that enemy moves could miss often).

Sludge Bomb: Nah, no slipperiness IMO.

Skill Swap: I don't like it as a stat-swapping thing, seeing as how other Pokémon moves already do that.

Snatch: Give examples ^_^;

I like the rest of them, except the ones that involve throwing the item at the characters.

Do you think it would be useful if the game indicated which TM's effect is the character having?

BTW: LOL.

[Shadrio]

Ok, I'll see to that:

Calm Mind/Bulk Up:
a) Effectiveness: The thing that makes a B attack special (The Homingness of Samus' Missle, the Recovery done by a B^, etc)
b) Resistance: Defense against those attacks, in % and Flinching (Falcon Punch doesnt cause shooting starts, Mario's Tornado doesnt trap that much)

Hail: Freezing===> gone and dead R.I.P.

Earthquake: The POW block is more like its own item, so this was to not copy it, and to make a new "Screw Attack" type item

Double Team: WAAAAAAAAY too God-like, more that the Extreme Attack

Sludge Bomb: I did that cuz there has never been a mechanical way to make floors slippery, and so it dont become useless if it misses...

Skill Swap: in SSB, stats are like the abilities of a character, since, for example, Fox doesnt have a "Funky Face" ability that makes character laugh when they see his appearence and sometimes lower their gaurd...

Snatch: Done, and I gave a negative example so it could not be God-like

[Ansur]

Cool. I like it.

[Shadrio]

Thanks

Anyone else? Shirkes, in particular <_>

[Shrikeswind]

Hm...no, I don't think I'll comment.

I'm really not sure on this. Sorry, just, not sure. Letting the jury take this one.

[Johans Nidorino]

Thing is, there would be too many of these items in a game about characters from more game series than Pokémon.

And these are only 50 of the 92 currently existing and available (in Diamond and Pearl) TMs, so there's no real difference between the former 50 and the latter 42 (in fact, some of the latter 42 already existed before in other forms than TMs).

To be fair, making all of them appear in an SSB game is too specific to the Pokémon series, and I'd save them for a Pokémon-only fighting game. If I was making a SSB game, I'd probably include only one TM per type, either leaving them named or unnamed ("unnamed" as in Water TM, Bug TM, etc., but always being true to existing, named moves like Water Pulse, X-Scissor, etc.).

A positive thing about TMs is that the Brawl Orb (or whatever its final name will be) works like this, so TMs could work as Brawl Orbs that have the same effect no matter what character uses them.

That's my verdict.
