Tropes vs. Women in Pokémon Training/TM list/Beta TM list

This WAS the Technical Machine list for Tropes vs. Women in Pokémon Training.

Early in 2010, Alex attempted to debut the game on the Serebii.net forums as "Pokémon Animal, Monster, and Vampire Versions". Unfortunately, he only made it as far as revealing the Cheerlene line and some other basic stuff before bowing out due to criticism, and one likely reason for that criticism was the fact that he originally intended for the games to have 200 TM's and 20 HM's!

Talk about excessive! Here was the original TM list.

TM Number	Move taught	Type	Basis	Fate/Other notes
1	Focus Punch	Fighting	Physical	The existing TM 01; would become Hone Claws for Generation 5.
2	Razor Wind	Normal	Special	This was TM 02 in Generation 1! Razor Wind barely even exists in the final game.
3	Tsunami	Water	Special	Became a tutored move in the final.
4	Calm Mind	Psychic	Status
5	"??? ("Overhead Throw" in Japanese)"	Fighting	Physical	An obvious attempt to replace Roar, the canon TM 05 at the time (previously Whirlwind in Generation 1). Didn't work out too well.
6	Toxic	Poison	Status
7	Hail	Ice	Status
8	Bulk Up	Fighting	Status
9	Inner Might	Normal	Physical	Became TM 48 in the final.
10	Hidden Power	Normal	Special
11	Sunny Day	Fire	Status
12	Taunt	Dark	Status
13	Ice Beam	Ice	Special	Ice Beam is demoted to a tutored move in the final.
14	Blizzard	Ice	Special
15	Hyper Beam	Normal	Special	Hyper Beam was the canon TM 15 at the time. In the final, Hyper Beam is demoted to a ridiculously obscure move.
16	Light Screen	Psychic	Status
17	Protect	Normal	Status
18	Rain Dance	Water	Status
19	Dragon Dance	Dragon	Status	Dragon Dance is a tutored move in the final.
20	Safeguard	Normal	Status
21	Frustration	Normal	Physical	Frustration is a rather obscure level-up move in the final game, which restores Curse to TM status for the first time since Generation 2.
22	Solarbeam	Grass	Special
23	Knock Down	Rock	Physical	Smack Down is demoted to level-up/breeding only in the final.
24	Thunderbolt	Electric	Special	Thunderbolt is demoted to a tutored move in the final. Alex got an extreme amount of controversy for making TM 24 Volt Tackle in the final, a move that was previously available only to the Pichu line in a very specific way and is their Final Smash in the Smash Bros. games.
25	Thunder	Electric	Special
26	Earthquake	Ground	Physical
27	Return	Normal	Physical	Return was demoted to a level-up/breeding exclusive move in the final, albeit not quite as obscure as Frustration.
28	Mirror Coat	Psychic	Special	Mirror Coat is still a level-up-exclusive move in the final.
29	Psychic	Psychic	Special	Psychic was demoted to level-up-only in the final.
30	Shadow Ball	Ghost	Special
31	Brick Break	Fighting	Physical
32	Counter	Fighting	Physical	Counter was a TM in Generation 1, albeit not as TM 32, which was Double Team even back then. Alex put Counter here because, like, 90% of the fandom hates Double Team!
33	Reflect	Psychic	Status
34	Slime Wave	Poison	Special
35	Flamethrower	Fire	Special	Flamethrower is a tutored move in the final.
36	Sludge Bomb	Poison	Special	Sludge Bomb is level-up-only in the final.
37	Sandstorm	Rock	Status	what's the name of this song? D:
38	Fire Blast	Fire	Special
39	Hyper Voice	Normal	Special	Hyper Voice is not a machine or tutored move in the final at all.
40	Orgasm	Psychic	Special	This move was cut altogether.
41	Torment	Dark	Status
42	Facade	Normal	Physical
43	Sky Attack	Flying	Physical	Sky Attack was TM 43 in Generation 1. TM 43 in the final is Secret Power, which was the canon TM 43 at the time this list was published, but would go on to become Flame Charge in Generation 5 and wouldn't become a TM again until OR/AS, where it's TM 94.
44	Rest	Psychic	Status
45	Attract	Normal	Status	TM 45 is Confuse Ray in the final because most of the fandom thinks Attract is a garbage move.
46	Thief	Dark	Physical
47	Skill Swap	Psychic	Status	This was TM 48 at the time.
48	"??? ("Canon" in Japanese; currently has no English name)"	Normal	Special	An incredibly useless move.
49	"??? ("Echo Voice" in Japanese; currently has no English name)"	Normal	Special	Ditto.
50	Overheat	Fire	Special	Overheat is a tutored move in the final.
51	"??? ("Side Change" in Japanese; currently has no English name)"	Normal	Status	Somewhat useless move as it is.
52	Focus Blast	Fighting	Special
53	Energy Ball	Grass	Special
54	False Swipe	Normal	Physical
55	Scald	Water	Special
56	Confuse Ray	Ghost	Status	Confuse Ray is TM 45 in the final, which keeps this TM at its then-canon move.
57	Leaf Storm	Grass	Special	Leaf Storm is a tutored move in the final. Ironically, this TM became Petal Dance.
58	Sky Drop	Flying	Physical	The canon TM 58 when Generation 5 dropped, Sky Drop became reviled due to a glitch. The final's TM 58 is a move whose type didn't even exist at the time this list was published.
59	Endure	Normal	Status	While Endure has been a TM multiple times, it's never sat at #59. Endure is a tutored move in the final, and is also Fighting type.
60	Tera Drain	Grass	Special	Tera Drain is TM 85 in the final.
61	Will-O-Wisp	Fire	Status
62	Acrobatics	Flying	Physical
63	Wood Hammer	Grass	Physical	Wood Hammer is not a TM or tutored move at all in the final.
64	Explosion	Normal	Physical
65	Shadow Claw	Ghost	Physical	The final replaces Shadow Claw with a more powerful move.
66	Revenge	Fighting	Physical
67	"??? ("Retaliation" in Japanese)"	Normal	Physical	Retaliate is only situationally useful.
68	Giga Impact	Normal	Physical	Almost no one can learn Giga Impact at all in the final.
69	Agility	Psychic	Status	At the time, the canon TM in this spot was Rock Polish. Agility became TM 27 in the final.
70	Baton Pass	Normal	Status	A decision that would have no doubt been well-received by the fans if Alex had gone through with it. Baton Pass is a tutored move in the final.
71	Stone Edge	Rock	Physical
72	Volt Change	Electric	Special
73	Thunder Wave	Electric	Status
74	Gyro Ball	Steel	Physical
75	Swords Dance	Normal	Status
76	Quick Attack	Normal	Physical	While its clones are seen somewhat frequently in competitive, Quick Attack itself isn't.
77	Psych Up	Psychic	Status	Psyche Up was a TM in Generation 2, but the move is far too situational to be a TM again.
78	Extreme Speed	Normal	Physical	"Extreme speed" is also what Alex cut this move with.
79	Ice Breath	Ice	Special	The canon TM 79 when Generation 5 hit, it was doomed by its narrow distribution.
80	Flash Freeze	Ice	Status	Is TM 60 in the final.
81	X-Scissor	Bug	Physical	Cut from the final in favor of Megahorn becoming another TM.
82	Dragon Tail	Dragon	Physical
83	Helping Hand	Normal	Status	Helping Hand is a tutored move in the final.
84	Gunk Shot	Poison	Physical	Gunk Shot replaced Sludge Bomb as TM 36 in the final.
85	Hurricane	Flying	Special	Hurricane is TM 63 in the final.
86	High Heel Kick	Dark	Physical	HHK is TM 97 in the final.
87	Synthesizer	Sound	???
88	Convection	Fire	Status	Hot Coals is not a TM in the final, as if Stealth Rock and its ilk really needed another clone that badly!
89	U-turn	Bug	Physical
90	Substitute	Normal	Status
91	Flash Cannon	Steel	Special
92	Trick Room	Psychic	Status
93	Volt Tackle	Electric	Physical	Volt Tackle is TM 24 in the final. In canon, this spot would be held by Wild Charge when Generation 5 dropped, while in the final game, it's held by Overcharge.
94	Overload	Electric	Special	The final has Foresight at this slot. Since Foresight, Odor Sleuth, Miracle Eye, and the ability Scrappy were upgraded in the final to remove all type-based immunities (thus making Flying types vulnerable to Ground and Ground vulnerable to Electric), this was a wise decision.
95	Partner Toss	???	Physical	Alex was probably scared of the concussion risk.
96	Iron Defense	Steel	Status	Potential wasted opportunity.
97	Nasty Plot	Dark	Status	Nasty Plot is a tutored move in the final.
98	Amnesia	Psychic	Status	Alex forgot that this was a move.
99	Outrage	Dragon	Physical	Outrage is TM 02 in the final.
100	Close Combat	Fighting	Physical	Close Combat is a tutored move in the final, while Superpower is in this slot.
101	Seed Bomb	Grass	Physical	Seed Bomb is a tutored move in the final.
102	Dance Beat	Sound	Status	Had its groove thrown off, man.
103	Hornet Nest	Bug	Status	Raid. Kills bugs dead!
104	Full Moon	Dark	Status	Eclipsed.
105	Blatant Level Edit	???	???	No one even understood what this move was supposed to be.
106	Cheerleading Chant	Normal	Status	The home team lost.
107	Gravity	Cosmic	Status	Gravity may be one of the most overlooked moves in canon, but making it a TM just wasn't in the cards.
108	Meteor Shower	Cosmic	Status	Also eclipsed.
109	Thunderstorm	Electric	Status	An awfully high number of Pokémon can learn this move by breeding in the final, which may be a relic of this move being a TM.
110	Trade Winds	Flying	Status	Blown away.
111	Shadow Sky	Ghost	Status	An intended Ghost-type weather move, this move is not seen in the final at all, despite the return of Shadow Pokémon.
112	Pollen	Grass	Status	Was allergic to TM's.
113	Volcanic Ash	Ground	Status	Didn't know its ash from a hole in the ground.
114	Fog	Normal	Status	Fog was the most annoying weather condition in Generation 4. Why would you want this move in the game at all, let alone as a TM!?!
115	Acid Rain Dance	Poison	Status	The TM corroded.
116	Pass Block	Dark	Status	Caught doping.
117	Clear Mind	Psychic	Status	A good move, but not good enough to be a TM.
118	Metal Dust	Steel	Status	Became TM 84 in the final.
119	Pause	Time	Status	[insert Wii crash noise here]
120	Magma Storm	Fire	Special	There's only one other Pokémon besides Heatran that can learn this move in the final, and that's Snailcano. What do those two have in common?
121	Aeroblast	Flying	Special	While there may be other Pokémon besides Lugia that can learn the move in the final, it's not even close to a wide-enough audience to justify a TM.
122	Road Rage	Dark	Physical	Became TM 81 in the final.
123	Sacred Fire	Fire	Physical	At the time it was introduced, Sacred Fire's gimmick was that it had the highest burn chance. But the very next generation introduced Will o' Wisp, and the Great Split of Generation 4 coupled with the introduction of Flare Blitz pushed this move to the back burner (no pun intended) even more. Also, Flare Blitz is a TM in the final, and Ho-Oh can learn it!
124	Seed Flare	Grass	Special	While Olivrina and a few others make good use of the move in the final, Shaymin's signature is probably better left to Shaymin.
125	Psycho Boost	Psychic	Special	The only other Pokémon who were good candidates for this move were, not surprisingly, those who were on Deoxys's level.
126	Reversal	Fighting	Physical	By the time Generation 5 rolled around, almost no one used Reversal or Flail due to the prevalence of Sandstorm.
127	Weather Ball	Normal	Special	Not many good candidates for this move.
128	Spacial Rend	Dragon	Physical	Palkia was not amused.
129	Roar of Time	Dragon	Special	Nor was Dialga.
130	Metronome	Normal	Status	Metronome is a tutored move in the final.
131	Psycho Cut	Psychic	Physical	Psycho Cut is a tutored move in the final.
132	Moonbeam	Dark	Special	The advent of the Fairy type would have caused problems here.
133	Dark Pulse	Dark	Special	Dark Pulse is a tutored move in the final.
134	Shadow Rush	Ghost	Physical	While Shadow Pokémon returned to the game, this move didn't.
135	Sucker Punch	Dark	Physical	Sucker Punch is a tutored move in the final.
136	Head Smash	Rock	Physical	Head Smash is TM 80 in the final, replacing canon's Rock Slide.
137	Rock Wrecker	Rock	Physical	Hyper Beam and its clones are near useless.
138	Recover	Magic	Status	While a recovery move DID make it into the final, it was Roost.
139	Refresh	Normal	Status	Refresh is a tutored move in the final.
140	Turbine Blast	Electric	Special	Gigashock is a tutored move in the final.
141	Wheel of Fortune	Magic	Status	Couldn't buy a vowel.
142	Super Psy	Psychic	Special	Super Psy is TM 29 in the final, replacing Psychic.
143	Mind Wipe	Dark	Special	Created just so Explosion could have a special counterpart, it was wiped off the TM list.
144	Pay Day	Normal	Physical	Meowth, dat's wrong.
145	Lucky Chant	Normal	Status	Jinxed.
146	Cross Chop	Fighting	Physical	Chopped by all the other Fighting moves available in the final.
147	Middle Finger	Dark	Status	Flipped a Brave Bird.
148	Rewind	Time	Status	Be kind.
149	Fast Forward	Time	Special	Became a Dark move in the final.
150	Alarm Clock	Time	Physical	Smashed by Garfield.
151	Retro Shock	Time	Status	Wasn't very A E S T H E T I C .
152	Instant Replay	Time	Status	After reviewing the play from about 90 billion different angles, we decided that we were right the first time!
153	Heartbreak	Dark	Status	Hotel not included.
154	Obsession	Dark	Status	Obsessively knocked off.
155	Mean Look	Normal	Status	Became a tutored move, and Dark type, in the final.
156	Perish Song	Normal	Status	Ditto.
157	Destiny Bond	Ghost	Status	Also became a tutored move in the final.
158	Tape Gag	Dark	Physical	Mmmph.
159	Cleave Gag	Dark	Physical
160	Ball Gag	Dark	Physical
161	Permafrost	Ice	Status	Who even knew what this move was supposed to do, anyway?
162	Suffocation	Dark	Physical	If Horn Drill and Fissure can't be TM's again, then neither can this move.
163	Wet Dream	Dark	Status	A move that was indeed all wet.
164	Pull In	Cosmic	Status	Insert fat jokes here...
165	Repel	Cosmic	Status	St. Clair Publications was probably being paid by the Zubat lobby to get rid of this move.
166	Solar Flare	Fire	Special	Heatstroke.
167	Copycat	Normal	Status	Sincerest form of flattery?
168	Focus Energy	Normal	Status	Became a tutored move in the final.
169	Double-Edge	Normal	Physical	Became TM 15 in the final.
170	Imprison	Psychic	Status	Not really useful enough in competitive to justify a TM slot.
171	Crush Grip	Normal	Physical	Couldn't get going because of its Slow Start.
172	Orchestra	Sound	Special	Cue The Price is Right's Losing Horns...
173	Aromatherapy	Grass	Status	Too broken to be a TM.
174	Laser Beam	Fire	Special	SHOOP DA WHOOP.
175	Conjure Blast	Magic	Special	Made itself disappear.
176	Holy Light	Magic	Special	Hail Satan.
177	Draco Meteor	Dragon	Special	In the final, Draco Meteor retains its canon status as a tutored move that can only be taught to specific Pokémon.
178	Decoy Toss	Normal	Physical	Most Pokémon with a Substitute would've preferred to keep it, thank you very much.
179	Mudslide	Ground	Special	Became TM 28 in the final.
180	Piledrive	Fighting	Physical	Microgoombas not included.
181	Guitar Solo	Sound	Special	Shredded to bits.
182	Orbit	Cosmic	???	Insert more fat jokes here.
183	Autotune	Sound	Physical	Probably cut due to trademark issues, plus Autotune is hated in real life. Why would you want it to be a move!?!
184	Sweat	Normal	Status	Smelled bad.
185	Trenches	Ground	Status	War is hell.
186	Rant	Sound	Physical	This move was a piece of @#$%^&*()...
187	Big Sting	Bug	Physical	Prototype to Fell Stinger? Well, this move fell short.
188	Paparazzi	???	Status	Beaten down by Naomi Campbell.
189	Construction	Steel	Status	A bridge to nowhere.
190	Power Whip	Grass	Physical	Megahorn's forgotten cousin.
191	Engrish	Normal	???	You are super grammar. All your base are belong to us.
192	Space Junk	Cosmic	Physical	A galaxy worth of problems.
193	Lunar Beam	Cosmic	Special	Since we already had Moonbeam several TM's up, exactly what this move was supposed to do is unclear.
194	Choir	Sound	Physical	Glee sucks.
195	Time Travel	Time	Physical	We can't all be the Doctor.
196	Spot Change	Cosmic	Status	It might be fun the first few times, but then it could get out of hand.
197	Nature Power	Normal	Status	Became TM 96 in the final, which it had become in canon by that point. Also became Grass type.
198	Star Strike	Cosmic	Physical	"StarSTRUCK" IS the name of a Badge Power you can get in the final, but it doesn't bear a resemblance to this move.
199	Lightsaber	Cosmic	Physical	George Lucas would have probably unleashed the Dark Side on us had this made it to the final. It's called the "Beam Sword" in the Smash Bros. games for a reason...
200	Aura Sphere	Fighting	Special	Because "Focus Miss" hates competition.
H1	Cut	Normal	Physical	Replaced by the Hedge Trimmers in the final.
H2	Fly	Flying	Physical	Replaced by Callback.
H3	Surf	Water	Special	Surf is a tutored move in the final. The move's out-of-battle functionality was replaced with the Rubber Life Raft.
H4	Strength	Normal	Physical	Replaced by the Bulldozer.
H5	Flash	Normal	Status	Replaced by the Flashlight.
H6	Whirlpool	Water	Special	Was not replaced in the final, as there are no whirlpools.

H10	Headbutt	Normal	Physical	Headbutting trees do not exist in the final.
H11	Rock Climb	Normal	Physical	Replaced by the Hiker Gear.
H12	Sweet Scent	Grass	Status	Not replaced in the final per se, but Honey performs the same function.
H13	Dig	Ground	Physical	Also replaced by the Callback.
H14	Teleport	Psychic	Status	Teleport is a tutored move in the final, and its out-of-battle functionality was also replaced by the Callback.
H15	Milk Drink	Normal	Status	Not replaced in the final per se, but there's Potions, Lemonade, Berries, Fresh Water, Energy Powder, Berry Juice, Malasadas...
H16	Secret Power	Normal	Physical	Went back to its traditional slot of TM 43 in the final. Secret Bases do not exist in the final at all.
H17	Soft-Boiled	Normal	Status	How many Brits and Aussies do you think pronounce it "haytch-17"?
H18	Rock Smash	Fighting	Physical	Also replaced by the Bulldozer.
H19	Lava Surf	Fire	Special	Was not replaced in the final due to lack of good places to use it at.
H20	Cloak	Dark	Status	Replaced by the Cloaking Device.
