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): 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): 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.: 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):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

There are relatively minor copy issues, but I'm stuck on this odd Fox reference in Tobin that I can't verify elsewhere, is unusually written, and to me fails the smell test. There are also three spots I found where the spot check failed, which is higher than I'd like to see. I'm hopeful that these can be tied to another source. Ping me when addressed.

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

• Surprised at some of the duplicate links in sections, though I can see that as a result of having been composited from multiple pages (especially larger episode summaries).
  • Where did you notice the large amount of dupes? Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• Team Rocket is eventually defeated and the protagonists are able to repair the boat they destroyed Comma after "defeated" (WP:CINS)
  • Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• Remove comma after "suit competition"
  • Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• Reading the "Beauty and the Beach" section raised a little sanity flag for me as a TV editor. Fox aired it? Like, big Fox? The way Tobin puts it ("Fox Television") is definitely not how any U.S. source would write it. I'd love a bit more of an answer here. It checks out to Tobin, but it does not check out to my smell test.
  • From what I can gather, 4kids's dubs aired their stuff in a programming block on Fox (See 4Kids TV). The book's timeframe is accurate to when 4kids's content was put out on Fox during that programming block. The way the book refers to it technically isn't inaccurate, but isn't super specific either. I can remove this if you feel it best. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

  I would remove, @Pokelego999. Aside from being an anachronism in this context, 4KidsTV never had Pokémon (it was the direct competitor to Kids' WB, which did; these blocks usually ran against each other in most markets, though mine had some stuff happen). If Fox Kids ever had Pokémon, it would have been in international markets and not the U.S. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:12, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

• "series'" should be "series's" MOS:'S
  • Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• The episodes would have featured Team Rocket dueling with Team Plasma, and would have ended with a city being threatened by explosions hailing from the energy-conducting Meteonite item. Remove comma (CinS) — one subject (episodes)
  • Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Sourcing and spot checks

Reviewed: 3, 4, 10, 18, 19

• Although many recovered during the ambulance trip, over 150 viewers were admitted to hospitals. This is not backed up by Radford.
  • Removed since this is admittedly a smaller detail and better covered at the main article. The source used in this article for that content was unreliable to my memory, likely missed this when removing the unreliable source. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• when it aired "Pikachu's Goodbye", which was the only episode promoted during the hiatus Neither 10 nor 11 backs this up.
  • Could have sworn at least one source did, but I might be misremembering. Replaced and reworded the info with some sources that do confirm the bulk of the content. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
• The Legend of Miniryu release date is in [18], but that source does not say it is episode 35.
  • Again, could've sworn this was confirmed somewhere, but episode numbers are pretty obscure info, so I might just be misremembering. Removed this bit and adapted the sentence structure to fit. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

This is independent of the Tobin/"Fox Television" issue, which I believe to be an issue with the source and not something missing in the source.

Images

This is probably one of the more inventive GAs I've reviewed in terms of use of images. Of these, there are two specific images that are fair-use, Jynx's art and the GIF of the James inflatable breasts scene. These have NFURs for the instant article, and I agree with them. They help illustrate specific flashpoints in the context of the article. The other four are libre-licensed, two PD-USGov, one PD-simple and one PD by its author.

@Sammi Brie: I believe I've addressed your concerns. Let me know if anything else needs to be done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie removed the Fox mention. Did some digging, and it definitely seems to have aired on Kids WB, not on Fox. Likely either an error or a conflation of some sort in the book itself, but since it's a minor detail what station aired it, and the rest of the info is accurate, not much seems to be lost. Let me know if anything else needs to be done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 22:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
