Am I the only one that's hesitant about the introduction of TMs into the game? Everybody seem super hyped about it but I get the feeling that it will remove the exclusivity of the best movesets on fantastic Pokemon as everyone with high IV mons will be able to learn them the best moves now.

Well we don't know exactly how it works just yet. It is going to depend on how they decide to implement it. It could be from the current moves each pokemon knows, or they could make it a rng from the entire move pool, since they said you teach them a new move.
So it could be on a steel wing/ hyper beam dragonite, you use the charger TM, and confirm you want to. Then it give say 3 charge moves. Say for instance Aerial Ace, Hyper Fang and Thunder. Then asks which move would you like to teach your dragonite?
Would allow players to change their moves without everyone having the same movesets on every pokemon instantly. But we still have to wait and see how it works first
Well, we don't know still how they will work. It just says teach your mon new fast and charge moves. Maybe you can't get legacy moves from them, maybe it is just a random reroll instead of choosing between all that mon moves pool, so imagine you use TM on a Dragonite with Hurricane in order to get Outrage and you end up getting HyperBeam...If it is pure RNG it might be a lot of tries until you get what you want/need, so the only thing you save is that mon candy.
For people that are not in big cities with a lot of rare spawns I think TM's are even more needed, it might take 6 months to try a second roll on that Dragonite or Tyranitar, so I am glad they did this, but let's wait until we see how TM's work.
This is a door to awesomeness or disaster depending on how we look at it.
Imagine all those legacy DB/HB or DB/DP Dragonites out there. If trainers can choose to reroll only the charge move and it picks from the current move pool availble, then someone can end up with DB/OR or DB/Hu.
Or a legacy Gyarados with DB/OR.
Madness I say, madness!!
