As a result of a lengthy ingame discussion with several players and a couple of staff with regards to available TMs to buy i decided to write a topic for people to voice their opinions and reasoning behing what TMs would be most beneficial to be added to purchase.
So ill start off:
Thunderbolt - TM24
why thunderbolt may people ask...well its not Thunder for starters XP, but i believe this TM would bring something into the game to go along with the other current TMs Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Solarbeam etc, you can see where im going with this right? there isnt currently an electric TM obtainable but i believe that with adding Thunderbolt there would be a little extra variety to battles. Sure it might give Starmie some unneeded power but there would be other pokes to take it down quicker, Jolteon...dare i say it even electrode?
Earthquake - TM26
Now this one stirred up much debate. the problem with this TM is that it would give Metagross even more hold over the battle scene than it already has. however i believe that that drawback doesnt outweigh the benefits of other pokemon being able to learn it, Tauros for example. its relatively strong, its fast yet it has no decent non-normal physical move. people were talking about metagross counters (and rightly so because with pursuit being overpowered and wrongly boosted it is needed). The fact is Earthquake is a powerful standard attack with no added effects. nothings gonna change that fact.
anyway opinions welcome
