GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Thank you for your diligent work in collecting references across languages and copy editing into an article that flows well and provides well-rounded coverage on the app! I've pointed out two small items that I'm awaiting your edits/responses on before moving ahead. Thank you for your work!

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

• Release and promotion - Duplicate sentence (and citation) In the months following the game's release, the game received over half a million downloads. Please remove one of them.

• Fixed. Good catch. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

• Please add "Rub and Play!" book, perhaps after the reference section {{cite book |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=November 8, 2021 |title=こすってあそべる！ ポケモンはみがき |trans-title=Rub and Play! Pokémon Brush |language=Japanese |location=Japan |publisher=小学館 |page=24 |isbn=9784097353416}}

• Question for clarification: Why would I need to cite the book primary when the source already in the source already verifies the article's text? Not against it but I figured I'd double check on this to make sure I understand what you want me to do here. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pokelego999: Excellent question, I see the confusion because of the template name. We are just using the template for the consistent formatting, not to say that you are using it as a source. Here is more information on a Further reading list. Publications listed in further reading are formatted in the same citation style used by the rest of the article. This makes it easier for those interested in the book you discussed to find more information. Matthew Yeager (talk) 21:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Matthew Yeager Ah, gotcha. I've added a Further reading section with the template you've provided. Let me know if I should do anything else here. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:36, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Reviewed references and translated articles were needed to verify their accuracy and reputation of the source.

2. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Overall coverage of development, release, and reception.

3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

4. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

5. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   While only non-free images exist, there may be room to expand the article with fair use in-game screen shots where appropriate, as seen in Pokémon Go article, XYLITOL product image, or in adding "Rub and Play!" book cover. No changes requested at this time. You'd be best at understanding what would be reasonable.

• Added a gameplay picture. Let me know if it suffices. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

1. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

@Matthew Yeager: addressed the above. Could you clarify the book thing I mentioned above, if possible? Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

• ... that players play Pokémon Smile by brushing their teeth?

• Source: [1] There's the primary "gameplay", which involves brushing your teeth and having the camera detect the speed at which you're doing it.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: New enough, long enough, Earwig spots no issues. Hook fact is cited and interesting; personally, I think WP:DYKFICTION doesn't apply to gameplay mechanics, and the mechanic itself is quite unique. Good to go  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
