What do you think of this contest idea?

aerodactyl would be a terrible HM slave since you wont be getting him until after the 7th gym so youd only use him for the sevii islands and victory road
whereas you can just use snorlax for surf/strength/rock smash/whatever else cuz i dont think it can learn flash or cut
I am not a very practical person. :|
But why waste Snorlax as an HM slave? It's a lot stronger than most pokemon. Is there any other HM slave out there? I mean ones that learn all of the weak HMs (cut, flash etc.), since surf is actually a pretty good move, and Fly is passable if you're not battling competitively.
Wondering over one thing, what the rule about encounter the same pokemon twice in 2 different routes? I read that some use the mercy rule of it not counting, so people doesn't end up with a team full of ratata and I wonder which are we going to go with?
Also now that we are discussion HM, take one of them we catch or if a NONE USABLE HM slave allowed?
Wondering so there is so question marks later and cause I read some do different things.

Oddish works with Cut and Flash. You can catch it in the grass around where you meet Bill, right before Misty.
Snorlax is waaay too good to waste on being an HM slave. Especially if you get one with Thick Fat, which HALVES the damage taken from Fire and Ice moves.
Keep his Body Slam move (cuz 100% accuracy and 30% chance to paralyze is amazing), Snore (to be useful while asleep) and obviously Rest.
Then teach him Double Edge from that move teacher. Double Edge is normally not that great a move, but for Snorlax the damage taken is easily mitigated by his MASSIVE amount of HP and Rest.
He's now a massive ****ing powerhouse. He alone took down more than 10pokemon in the Elite 4 for me. And I went for a no-items run, never healing my pokemon with potions and such.
It's important that he has normal type moves, because of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). It makes normal type moves 50% more powerful when used by Snorlax.
