Survey: ROM Hack Input?

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the use of forums although I created the account here about a year ago.. ANYWAYS, I just wanted to get some ideas from fellow hackers/Pokemon fans to see what they really want in a hack!

• What generation of Pokemon?
• A new region or existing ones?
• What game generation?
• A harder playthrough?

I basically just want everyones input on what makes a great ROM hack to you individually as I plan on making my own ROM hack! :)

The sign of a great ROM hack is good scripting and an even better story. All else comes second. :)

You're probably right, the story is definitely something I'm going to be working hard at. I wanna make something original but entertaining, something that is different from most hacks.

you should read this http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=353391 (its not 100% finished). the guide describes all aspects of the rom hacking process from the beggining to the end. currently it only has covered the planning of a hack, but since thats basically what you are just doing i suggest you to read it.
