HM Slave

A Pokemon you force to be the bitch for all your Hidden Machines, since each Pokemon game eventually throws up an obstacle that serves as a roadblock until you can utilize them to keep progressing. Usually, the slave is a Pokemon that's nothing special- a throwaway crapsack 'Mon that can't hold a feather to the tougher and rarer Pokemon everyone covets. Your typical HM slave is the opposite- they'll never stand out, all the weaker NPCs use it, and it offers no real reason to be wanted in your team.

Usually, the designated bitch is the Pokemon the developers use to help newbies coast through the start of the game until they can move on to the harder sections- sorta like "training wheels." These guys are Normal-types that evolve once and show up as one of, if not the first Pokemon you'll encounter in the wild- at a pathetic level 2 or 3. Bird Pokemon that show up early and often also fall prey to the HM Fly.

With stats embodying the very definition of "meh" and as useful as an ice pick in Hell, you'll basically give up on these Pokemon, label them the bastard child of the bunch, and saddle 'em with HMs on the spot. Seriously- who wants their Mewtwo or Regigigas stuck using a gay move like Rock Smash?? Screw that!

Each generation will have one lowly Normal-type:

I: Rattata
II: Sentret
III: Zigzagoon
IV: Bidoof
V: Patrat

Some have redeeming qualities, like Zigzagoon's Pickup. Expect more of these guys to add to the list beyond the writing of this definition.

Oh look, it's a Rattata... that poor piece of owl shit just waiting to happen. Better catch two so I have enough move slots ready for those godforsaken Hidden Machines.

100 bucks says all the bros playing Platinum in this room turned Bidoof into their HM Slave.

Shovel Hater

One who dislikes innovation. One who was against the first invention or idea of something that was later considered commonplace. Unwilling to change because of tradition or convention.

Phil: "Guys don't listen to Jim, shovels are a terrible idea. If we just use our hands we can save our resources to do something else and be more efficient."
-later-
Steve: "Ugh Phil is so stupid! Using our hands blows!"
Rob: "Yea, I know; Hes such a shovel hater."

shovelware

1. Software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and 'shoveled' down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash.

2. Software that is preloaded onto a computer, that does nothing but slow down performance and does nothing beneficial, but is added in order to increase price or add appeal into purchasing a computer.

1. Battlefield 2: Special Forces Expansion Pack is a recent example of shovelware; it causes CTD's, system failures, massive performance decreases, and addresses NONE of the original game problems.

2. Frank bought a computer just because it had a lot shovelware preloaded onto it, and now it takes 45 minutes to start up.
