Length

Length of the article meets the 900-1200 expected word count and exceeds this by about 300-400 words from the 1200 expectation. On track to meet the final draft word count.

Structure

Article starts with a context/summary of the Pokémon game and its origins and forms it has taken since its release with sources of the historical points. The body of the article goes in depth of the gameplay of the general flow of the Pokémon game series including its start, goals, and logistics of certain aspects of the game. Would like to see an explanation of what happens after the introduction of the game and if there is an end. Similarly, Gyms were mentioned in the gameplay section, but I also feel it would be helpful to include a short description of what they are for those who are't familiar with the game. The article then goes into the Ethical Concerns section which goes into points of contention that have come up in the community (slavery), observations of the game's premise (violence), and real world consequences. All of these points in the ethical concerns section are linked to their appropriate sources. The abandonment section still needs expansion if it is kept for the final draft.

Clarity

Overall, the clarity is good and I can see the ethical points at stake and their importance. I feel that it would be beneficial to clarify if the gameplay explained pertains to most games in the series or if there are other games that vary more drastically.

Objective Reporting

The article is objective in its writing and suitable in its neutral stance. No opinionated language or takes were seen within the MediaWiki article and sources are properly used. If possible, a source within the gameplay section could be beneficial for further credibility.
