All those calls for democracy. Perhaps they hope to appeal to the NPC using diplomacy?

We have an escape rope and people want to use it.

Wait, the pathing of NPCs breaks when you talk to them? Ahahaha that's so awful. Gen 1 is amazing.

e: Oh, it was a trainer. Still, can't believe that they wouldn't think of this.

When you battle them and beat them they stand still afterwards. I think what happened is they triggered the battle by talking to him mid-path.

It and Teleport are the only moves with out-of-battle effects that aren't HMs, if I remember correctly.

TMs were single use up until X and Y (Or did gen 5 make them reusable? I never played BW 1 or 2)

B/W is where it changed to not being totally poo poo. Ruby Sapphire is where the water HM reached its zenith.

Also Softboiled.

So we've somehow gotten trapped in a two tile space between some walls and a trainer. Fortuately there are Pokemon in it so we could eventually get beaten unconcious. Have we tossed our Escape Rope yet?

The irony that Digrat would be our saviour right now

Gen III and IV got really ridiculous with the number of HMs you needed to pack on in order to get around the map. I don't want to have two of the slots of my party taken up by HM slaves. :negative:

It still only has four move slots though, and there were five HMs you needed in Gen IV, cut, surf, strength, waterfall and rock climb.
