Here we are again. Over the last 5 days or so moveset questions have become increasingly common again, and I once again wonder what our stance upon them should be. Does the response of last times incident still hold true, or has our stance changed?

Questions in question:

BURN THEM IN HELLFIRE!
I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE AND I BRING YOU - FIRE!
I can't believe Clarkson was credited with that.

The line is from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and their song, "Fire", which Clarkson referenced.

Best answer

This is a tough one. I don't like the "4th move for Dusknoir" one, but ones like elemental fang/punch are better and usually have solid answers (e.g. one specific move would get a lot more coverage).

I am sort of veering towards relaxing some of the rules. It's difficult to come up with hard-and-fast rules as often questions can get good answers even if they are a little opinionated.

I'd say, anything that can be solved in one of the moveset questions, like "are these good moves for meganium in soul silver", should be flagged/hidden. Otherwise leave it open.

What do you think?
