    I know you're trading them to Platinum. That's why you're free to use the starter from Platinum as an HMer; because you're bringing in a Torterra battler from elsewhere. Or are you insisting you be able to trade the HMers into Platinum from elsewhere, too? There's really no reason to need that...with the possible exception of a Thieving Starly/Staraptor, you'll never need to send your HMers into combat.

    Or maybe you're saying you need the HMers for getting through whichever game you're building this team in before sending them into Platinum. In that case, Turtwig does lose its viability as an HMer because you need to make it a battler...let's see...

    BIDOOF (Catch in Route 201/2)
    Cut
    Rock Smash
    Dig

    STARLY (Catch in Route 201/2)
    Fly
    Defog
    Thief

    PSYDUCK (Catch in Oreburgh Gate basement)
    Strength
    Flash
    Waterfall

    ...and either Bidoof or Psyduck will need to evolve in order to learn Rock Climb, although another option if you don't like raising HMers is to catch a wild Bibarel as you pass through Route 212, and replace Bidoof with it (if you get the Dig TM before catching Bibarel, don't teach it to Bidoof because there's only one TM 28 in the game.)
