I'm quite certain that Rock Climb has never been an HM/overworld move in mainstream nor a TM. 
This might have something to do with the incompatibility. To be honest I've never used the Rock Climb TM in Reborn and Rejuv in favor of the TMX mod and Golden items. Waterfall and Surf are the only HMs I like as battle moves.

It was an HM in gen 4, which seem  hellbent on giving us burdensome HMs. One of the worst things about that gen in fact.

Oh gosh, it's been quite some time since I've played Gen 4. Thanx for the reminder.
