Yo! It's me again, themanynamed, the dude curating the Codex; an attempt at a comprehensive database of information about Pokemon Rom hacks, all categorized by a community-enhanced set of tags, with the primary intention being easy sorting - especially on mobile - with the end goal being, ideally, uniting any given trainer with their perfect pokemon game. (Disclaimer: the PokeROM Codex does not and will not ever link to any ROMs and isn't trying to advertise anything specifically. The primary purpose of this project is Information; this is a Catalog, not a Repository.)
I ran a survey about a month ago that asked what people looked for or didn't like in a romhack which used all of the tags that were available on the Codex at the time, and I got over 200 responses! It gave me some good general data as to what the community is looking for in their hacks, which I'm sure would be useful to some creators, somehow. But I'm going to see if we can refine that even further!
The new and improved one now features all the new tags from the various overhauls, and a range to show exactly how much you like or dislike any given option, which should hopefully really help narrow down what the community looks for when they decide what they want to play. The survey also features a section about how hacks are played, on what device and with what emulator.
I feel like this data will help both the creators that want to make their hacks for a wide audience, and people like me running databases or forums or anywhere that's trying to unite the trainers with what they want in the best way possible~
So, Here's a pdf made by the fantastic Zumi of the results from the first survey, and Here's a pdf made by the fantastic Colgate, which also accounts for blank responses, but is only ~60% of the answers~
& without further ado, here's the new survey. It's five pages long - four of tags, and one asking how you play - so it (hopefully) shouldn't take too long.
