How to Remove HM Moves From Pokemon?

Pokemon have the ability to learn three types of moves, level-up moves, Hidden Machine or HM moves, and Technical Machine or TM moves. Pokemon learn level-up moves automatically through experience. HMs and TMs require you to teach the move to your Pokemon. Which move a Pokemon can learn depends on its species. You can replace any level-up or TM move with a new move by telling the Pokemon to forget the other move. HM moves, however, require a visit to a special Move Deleter to forget. The location of this person varies by game version.
