Pokemon Yellow was one of the games that started the Pocket Monsters trend: visually unique, multi-🔜elemental creatures that you collect, train, and battle against other worthy opponents. Pokemon has become a worldwide phenomenon, and one of the most memorable traits of the series is its wide array of attacks.
HMs (Hidden Machines) can be acquired and given to Pokemon but they can’t be forgotten, and there are only a very small amount of the൲se moves scattered around the world. However, TMs (Technical Machines) are way more numerous and can really change your Po💎kemon into something completely unique.
