maybe the people in charge of making item images were like, "we need a technological-looking item that we can make into a small picture" "how about a computer disk?" "ok, that works." :P

Theres the TM machine, it plays it. I got an idea of putting this in My (ha!) game a few years back, cuz there was a trainer in the Anime that tauht gloom solarbeam by TM, and it was a tape, so i guess the news are DVD!

In the TCG, TMs are cubical machines in which you insert the PokeBall into....I think that makes more sense than TMs on DVD.

Also, the TM disks are colored according to type. Like Water moves are *gasp* BLUE.

Coming soon! TM DVDS! Not only do they teach A UNIQUE MOVE, but now they have DELETED SCENES AND 30-MINUTE DOCUMENTARIES ON HOW THEY WERE MADE!

Pfeh, having them be discs is better than having them be the boxes from the (better) Manga that just kinda beam the information into the pokemon (best way to describe it.)

As for the TM's being Discs, perhaps the discs are used in another machine (such as the holder) which is the actual device used, and the Tm's merely the easily swappable programs for said machine. I mean, like .DAT tapes and floppy dics.

I always thought you plugged the pokeball into your pokedex and plugged in the TM or HM. Then you can see what moves it knows including all that other stuff you see when you look at the Pokemon's stats. Maybe the disk is mini sized so it can fit in the PKdex.

Meh, I suppose that if you can carry a bicicle around in your backpack, you can teach a creature a new fighting technique with a disc.

Could have been worse. My fanfic uses card TMs, but they can only be used in Pokmon Centers, because they were inserted into VR booths that then taught the move, and you really don't want to have to carry around a compartment big enough to hold a Machamp. So I also used a second type of TM, a 'travel version'...that was basically a brainwashing cap. I've also heard one person (don't for the life of me remember who) who thought they were ray guns that you shoot the pokmon with. Brain beam! Compared to these, data disks aren't bad.

Heheh. Nice.

I agree with Botispine though. Those cubical machines make the most sense. My personal opnion is that they look pretty cool as well.

Speaking from a pure "Hey look, data" perspective, it makes a LOT more sense for them to be on Discs, especially if said discs are DVD quality or higher. Else, those boxes into which the ball is placed into are A: Far too large to lug around in a backpack, and B: Less data capable than a DVD. Though with current increases in Flash Memory drives (10 gig, no moving part firewire hard drives are now an expensive but rapidly declining in price new computer option.) That statement could be shortly declared defunct.
In ALL likelihood, tho, they best option would be a device that attaches to our already jack of all trades Pokedex, extends a cable to the PokeBall, and feeds the information into the Pokemon's brain directly, teaching it how to use the moves that it is capable of doing, but would otherwise be incapable of learning.
But let's not mix genetics, Compsci and Mind Control. It gets messy after awhile, and I don't mean the parts involving copious amounts of Mountain Dew, Whipped Cream and a Yak.

I've read a bit of the manga, and the TM I saw in it was a box that you held over the head or something like that. It looked weird 0_o

If you can carry a bicycle (folded or not) in your backpack, I'm sure you can carry a few boxes the size of a subwoofer.

No, because the bike is folded to be as non voluminous as possible. SQUARE BOXES in backpacks, while stacking neatly, do not lend themselves to being placed in such LARGE numbers into someone's backpack (Especially when you hoard them like I do.)

Well, we don't know the exact size of the TM boxes. We don't know if the PokeBall is inserted in its minimized state or its maximized state, whether or not the TM boxes are collapsable, etc.

...and how, pray tell, do you collapse a cube?

ever took one of those half-pint milk cartons and folded it flat? if a cube had flat sides and a series of hinges similar to the folds on the milk carton, you could collapse the cube.

The cube has an open side to insert the PokeBall. If you unhinge the opposite side, you could collapse the entire thing. Like I said, it'd probably only be maybe 10 inches tall and when collapsed, an inch or so thick.

Still, it makes much more sense for the data of the move itself to be stored on an easily removable and storable medium, like DVDs. Consider that in a binder, roughly 4X12X12 large, I can store 208 discs. Now, with 208 times 4.8 Gigabytes of memory, I believe that's far more utilitarian than boxes of any type, save flash sticks, which are smaller yet, but at the moment, far more expensive. In short, while the box may be the device used to actually input the TM into the Pokemon, having more than one in your backpack at a time would be horribly impractical.
