Yes, this needs to happen.
Why o why?

Why you ask? "These questions all have roughly the same answers and dont really contribute the site in any way,"

Well, for moves there might actually be a viable strategy to use with that move, same with Pokemon. I don't think we should actually ban them.
Those questions should be labeled "How can i use ___?" or "Is ___ usable somehow?"
Well that, and saying why they exist, is still basically saying the same thing. Thats why they shouldn't be banned.
Why not just put a section for those kinds of questions ?
Pokemaster doesnt just go around making sections for everything, especially not for somthing this minor.
I agree. They're stupid and pointless, and they're basically asking something only Game Freak can answer.
^^^^^^^^^^ Agreed so much @JarJar
Why does this question exist?

You want to ban questions you answered?

I think they are legitimate questions, and most of them have answers better than just "that's how Game Freak did it".

For example the Giratina one is asking about its role in the game, not why did GF make it. The Focus Band one was about a confusion in the way the Sash/Band work. The Splash one is a duplicate, but Splash seems like it's useless so the question is asking if there is a reason it would exist (i.e. is there an extra effect the person didn't know about).

That's not cause to start asking "Why does Bulbasaur exist" and so on for every Pokemon/move etc, because then the answer really just is "they wanted to make that Pokemon". But as long as they have a reason for asking the question I don't see a problem.
