 * @NegativeMP1 checking in since it's been a while. Would you still be down to review the article? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:45, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I still plan on reviewing this, but I'll need just a bit longer as I'm working on my own GA and reviewing another soon. λ Negative  MP1  05:29, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, good luck with those articles! Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 05:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for the constant waiting, every time that I get the chance to review this article it slips my mind when my time frees up. I still plan on reviewing it soon, ping me either here or on Discord if I don't do it today or tomorrow. λ Negative  MP1  19:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, will do. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Basic criteria
Checked the article for the quickfail criteria per WP:GAFAIL, and there is nothing in this article that would warrant a quickfail. No copyright violation signs, no cleanup banners or tags, and no edit warring. Prose review coming soon (I mean it this time, you won't have to wait 19 more days, I promise). λ Negative  MP1  23:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Prose review

 * "In the English dub, he was voiced by Veronica Taylor in the first eight seasons and has been voiced by Sarah Natochenny since the ninth season." → "In the English dub, he was voiced by Veronica Taylor in the first eight seasons and Sarah Natochenny afterwards."
 * Move the third paragraph to be the second one (basically, move the criticism to before how popular he got)
 * "Named after creator Satoshi Tajiri, Satoshi, whose name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason", was designed by Atsuko Nishida, and intended to represent how Tajiri was as a child, obsessed with catching bugs, reflecting who he was as a kid." → "Ash was design by Atsuko Nishida, and named after creator Satoshi Tajiri. The character was designed to represent how Tajiri was as a child, obsessed with catching bugs."
 * "Ash's main goal is to become a "Pokémon Master," and as a result often attempts to defeat the Pokémon League- a competition of the strongest Trainers in a given region- in whatever region he is in." Use − instead of -
 * Reception doesn't seem to have any issues, but I'll probably run another quick skim before passing anyways.

Source review

 * Please use better sources if possible. In my opinion, they are acceptable enough for this subject (especially considering VG/S and the animanga sources page), but please keep in mind that if you plan on taking this article any further, or plan on maintaining it, unvetted/questionable sources such as Comicbook or Cinemablend should be swapped out if possible.
 * Anywho, I spotchecked 10, 22, 25, and 29. They seem to verify the contents they are cited to.

Comments
I'll take another look after the above comments are addressed, but for now I'll put this on hold. λ Negative  MP1  16:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @NegativeMP1 I've made the requested prose changes. I also ended up just removing the section cited with Comicbook and Cinemablend since it was pretty weak and trivial overall, and wasn't really too tied into the character's overall notability.
