Been wanting to pick this up for a while but didnt because I haddent finished the game yet. So glad the GA backlog is more powerful then my lack of skill. At a first glance it looks not just good but good enough. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): In the side table for the games scores anything that rates the game out of ten uses numbers instead of stars with the exception of Nintendo Life. Any reason? The line "Parent company Nintendo attempted to takedown many of these leaks, but other accounts reposted the information taken down" reads a little oddly. Is it worth linking both DLC given that the redirect to The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero which is linked immediately before "though is forced by its programming" -> "though its programming forces it" MOS:TENSE It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): Ref 41 change source to The Pokemon Company and also link for consistency Ref 42 link CNET for consistency Ref 25 link 4Gamer.net for consistency Ref 79 link Men's Journal for consistency Ref 97 link The Daily Telegraph for consistency Ref 125 link Oricon News for consistency Reliability of a few sources It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: only one minor issue about a different page which. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions): Everything is tagged appropriately With the only avalible image of Toby Fox being the one in the article. I question if its worth including an image of Fox
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Answers

On a few of your points:

-Nintendo Life uses the stars I believe because it's the only out of ten scale explicitly using stars. Admittedly unsure if there's a policy regarding the usage of stars over numbers or not depending on the outlet.

-Does "Parent company Nintendo attempted to takedown many of these leaks, but other accounts reposted the information after it was taken down." read better?

-Linked the specific expansions just in case readers were unfamiliar with the two DLCs, as it would allow them an easy link to either one in case they confused names or something similar. Can remove this if you feel it necessary.

-I included the image of Fox since I figured any form of identification was better than none. It seemed odd to me not to use it given it's the only one we have and we don't need to be too concerned with a "primary" identifier here, unlike at Fox's main article. There have been BLPs using lower quality images than that one.

-Addressing your concern on stability that you mentioned in the edit history: the stability criteria states that " it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute." The actual page content has not been changing day to day, and no edit warring has occurred, as a result of the discussion on the talk page. The changes it asks aren't too egregious, and support for American English seems unanimous as of now. I've left a message to double check the status of it so I can resolve it sooner, but I do believe this discussion is irrelevant to the stability criteria and would not result in a significant quality decrease if it did go through.

Great! Also the last bit was a joke Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Could you explain the reliability of the following sources?

• Nintendo World Report
• 4p.de
• Gaming Intel
• RPGFan

@Pokelego999: a few more notes should be done with the page by tomorrow Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:45, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant Nintendo World Report, 4players, and RPGFan are considered reliable per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. I missed Gaming Intel during editing but at a glance seems reliable-ish, but it being outside the coverage area for this article makes me hesitant. I've replaced it with a Nintendo Life source reiterating the exact same info. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:53, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant fixed the linking issues in the requested areas Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 19:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Checked 15 sources at random. Found nothing else. Good job Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:26, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
