Should there be one in the D/P forum? It seems to me like we need one in there because there are a lot of threads that just need one post to be answered rather than five posts repeating the same thing. >_>

Wasn't the reason for removing the original Simple Questions thread to promote activity in the D/P and Advance Gen Games boards??

I'd like to see one back here....

I really think there should be a Simple Question thread. There's so much garbage being posted like "Phr33 ARcEEus!!" and those topics always end up locked. At least if they were in the Simple Questions thread someone could just say "Arceus is hacked." Without going through the trouble of having the moderator lock the topics. Everytime I look at the forum there's at least four threads locked because of stupid questions that could be done in Simple Question or need to be elsewhere.

At least if the Simple Questions thread was up there would be much less garbage being posted and people could just look through the thread and see if their question has already been answered. Also whoever makes the thread can make a part of the post be like "Most asked question:" and therefore not needing so many repetitions of the same question.

If not a Simple Questions thread, at least a FAQ. Seriously, that would probably cut the garbage threads by one fourth at the very least if there was a FAQ thread. I mean, that forum's got over 100 pages of threads, nearly all of them being locked because of the n00bs asking questions over and over again, and they're the same questions at that...

So, a Simple Questions thread would seriously reduce the amount of garbage in that forum, and the amount of work wakachamo has to do. xD wakachamo is the mod of the DP forum, right?

I don't wanna repeat whats been said three times, but I also think there should be something like that in Strategies & Movesets forum. I've answered three Roserade movesets threads this past two days.

Except for movesets maybe like... a thread on the most recommended set for a certain Pokemon? Like a ginormous list of all 493, it'll take time, but save all of the hassle... but then it might kill the forum, but people can still ask for EVs and stuff, I guess.

I voted for "No".
I think it's ok the way it is. If we put all questions in a whole thread, it could happen that some questions are ignored.
