NOPE. I have 1 flier, and 1 surfer, only because those are not only good moves, but probally the most used HM's ill use in the game. Any other HM, then ill dig out my (Normal type rodent thing from each generation... Rattatta, Sentret, Zizagoon, Bibarel, Patrat)

The only Hm slave in Pt I use is my Floatzel. Usually if something is on my team I am training it, but I used a lot of them in the past
 
Fly is not a useful move, why would it be? 90 power in two turns? Aerial Ace can do 120 power in two.

Anyways:

I have my HM's on various Pokemon that I slap around, but usually just one or two at a time.

I do! I've always got a pidgey in my party for fly xD

Just a lone pidgey that flies me... Everywhere... I'll go to the Elite Four and all of my pokemon but the pidgey will die and my soul will shrivel :'( She does so much for me...

Once I have completed the game, I usually have a water pokemon knowing Surf and a HM slave with Fly and some other moves
 

Darkmaster Rannon

Thundercats Hoo!
A surfer and a flyer are always on my team- The flyer tends to be made into a total HM slave and is usually a legendary if I can manage to snag one off the GTS for nothing.

This is very true. I dont like fly for this reason. Surf is good, good power, good acuracy.

But strength is decent too, if you want a neutral 80 base power move

So long
I do use HM slaves for most playtroughs, but not when it comes to Fly and Surf, I like to have these moves on my team members instead. Bibarel was often used in 4th generation since it could learn many HMs, and I used to use Gyarados for Waterfall and Whirlpool.

Yeah. I used Bibarel for pretty much surf, strength, and rock smash.
