[This video is a very short one, and Luke also looks annoyed in this one.

The reason is pretty apparent, because this is basically what's on your screen.]

WHY DO THE SHEEP PRODUCE STATIC?!

[And then he turns it off to go rant and attempt to de-floof his hair.]

It's a small disk that can teach certain Pokémon a new attack. Rosie, if you'd please.

[After fifteen seconds or so, his Clefable arrives with his reusable Return TM, which he promptly shows Luke.]

Not all TMs are compatible with all Pokémon, but they can be used to give them greater type coverage. For example, Rosie here can use every type except for Poison, Ghost, Dark and Dragon.

[Hello Clefable, you're very pink.

He moves closer to his screen, as if it'll help him see the disk better (spoilers: it doesn't). He's seen something similar, but not for Pokémon. Are Pokémon computers? That's weird.]

Oh. That's cool. How's it work?

[Heck yes she is. The pinkest of them all.]

You merely have to break the disk over a Pokémon's head, and it'll learn the attack. TMs are usually single-use items, but we sometimes receive disks that repair themselves indefinitely, like HMs do.

[Too much pink.]

That sounds easy enough. So TMs are useless once they're used, but HMs can be used as many times as you want?

[Never enough pink.]

That's right. HMs also tend to teach moves that make travelling easier, while TMs offer a much greater variety of types and effects.
