• The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. I assume good faith on the Japanese reference. SL93 (talk) 03:56, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook has too many clauses for comfortable reading. How about reworking it this way:
• ALT1: ... that Tatsuo Nomura's "Pokémon Challenge" for Google Maps, created as an April Fools prank for mobile phone users, led to the development of Pokémon Go? Yoninah (talk) 21:14, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

• I would be fine with that if the nominator is. SL93 (talk) 21:23, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, that's the same idea with better phrasing, no? I'm good with it. Juxlos (talk) 18:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you both. Restoring tick for ALT1 per SL93's review. Yoninah (talk) 18:59, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
