>>215974991. Ok first of all, our little survey survey brings up a few issues with previous surveys. Namely starter theming. It doesn't fit the new standard, and suffers many of the same issues as the nurse poppy and octopus polls did. Opinions on that would be great, do we retry that with a QC before a decision? A point brought up to me has been that all gamefreak themings have had people based archetypes rather than habitat based ones. Some people may be struggling with it?
The current theming is desert/rainforest/beach, fyi.
2. Raptorposting needs to stop. It comes up every thread, and is usually not pleasant. I'm almost at the point where I want to make a survey just for the thing. On that note:
3. Concept based dex confirmation.
It's been brought to my attention that people are confused on whether we voted on designs or concepts in the megasurvey (it was designs). But after a bit of thought, a concept based approach would be much better, and give us a good direction to head in. Eg. Someone says "what draw", you say "confirmed concept with no design". It has more direction than the current design based system.
To make it fair, the next big dex confirmation survey will work like so:
-Submissions for concepts. No pictures. Just a short paragraph detailing a concept. Everything is on even footing here.
-QC for concepts. 66% trial. Individual based. We find what concept will be in the dex. The dex may look like "pokemon based on [animal] and [object]" with no picture, after this point.
-Design submissions. I'm sure with a good concept people will want to make a design on that, so this is where you'd submit a design for each concept.
-QC designs. 66% trail.
-Decision. Decide on one design for that concept. Whamo blamo pokemon.
Thoughts on that?
