Unreferenced Sentences

 * "...a similar digital pet-type game where the player plays with a Pikachu—and promote the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral device."
 * That's in the IGN article. Easy to miss, I guess. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "The game was first announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2003."
 * Also in the IGN article referenced a bit later. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Other notes

 * "The game was first announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2003." Shouldn't in be added in making it "Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)in 2003"?
 * It's usually known as "E3 (year)", e.g. "E3 2003". Should I switch it up to "E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2003"? Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's fine. buffbills7701 02:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "17. Ambrella. Pokémon Channel. "Oak: Oh? What was that cry?"" Should the references just quote parts of the game?
 * As far as I know, that's appropriate for plot sections of game articles; it's a common format. Many GAs' and FAs' plot sections don't cite anything at all. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ buffbills7701 02:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Why is there a picture of the Pokémon Mini in the section about the development of the game? The section doesn't mention the Mini at all.
 * Yeah, to be honest I kinda just put it there because the paragraphs were short. Would a picture of the e-Reader fit better? Or nothing, and I just find a way to combine them? Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the picture of the e-reader would be better. buffbills7701 02:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Tezero (talk) 02:49, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "...making it the thirteenth best-selling game during the week from July 14 to July 20." WP:FANCRUFT. I'm positive no one cares how good it was during a week.
 * That week is significant, but I can see how that might not have been apparent. (It was the week of the game's release in Japan; I haven't found any more reliable sales information, including from Japan.) Rephrased. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "During the week from..." is bad grammar. Perhaps "During the week of..." would work better?
 * Fixed during the rephrasing. Tezero (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ buffbills7701 02:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
