"summarize-section"

I don't think the sections need to be summarized. They probably need to be expanded. This is the only article in which all 3 sections are merged. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Right now it's too in-universe, and as a result comes across in an odd tone from the rest of the article. The text needs to be summarized, but also written in a way that someone doesn't need to do a ton of research to understand what they're reading.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:45, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

"First appeared"

While there is no source indicating that Haunter has made its debut, the source in question only states that it available in Red and Blue. There is no indication of what year the games came out in the source, and while the games seem to appear in Japan first in 1996 with Pocket Monsters Red and Green, an appearance in the game does not indicate its the first appearance. As I doubt we'll find specifies on this, I would propose re-stating it to something like "Haunter appears in the first Pokemon game" which is infinitely easier to sort, and follows WP:STICKTOSOURCE (" Take care not to go beyond what the sources express or to use them in ways inconsistent with the intention of the source, such as using material out of context. In short, stick to the sources."). Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@Andrzejbanas I can see that argument, as Yellow does throw a wrench in the works as it were, and I'll change it here. But ultimately may be better to bring up on WP:POKEMON or WP:VGCHAR too, as it feels like a sweeping change that would need to be applied to most Gen 1 articles with that consideration.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:18, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Fair! Yeah not trying to throw your GA into a loop, I'll bring it up in their as I wasn't aware it was an ongoing deal. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@Kung Fu Man:, I made some slight tweaks to this and just want to make sure we are still on the same page. I think this covers the bases, but if it gets your okay, I'll each out to the WikiProjects as you've suggested. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I will take this one. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:23, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@Kung Fu Man: I have completed my first pass over the article. It is overall very well-written, and I only have a few things I would like fixed.

• First introduced in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, This information does not appear in the body. I know it’s obvious, but it should still have a source.

Should be in the first sentence of appearances, using the IGN ref to back it up?

• Standing 5 ft 3 in (160 cm) tall, I hate to be pedantic, but it is a little weird reading that when Haunter doesn't stand at all.

It's more a figure of speech, but rewrote the sentence a bit to adjust for that.

• The first paragraph of the Appearances section is a little random with which games it mentions. Are those the only games it appears in?

Made it clearer that it's an includes list and not every game he's been in (also added the missing TCG mention)

• You’re probably used to me saying this by now, but there are a lot of quotes in the Reception section. Could you please try to paraphrase a couple of them?

Paraphrased some and reworked a few others, should flow better.

This article passes the spotcheck. Again, great work! QuicoleJR (talk) 14:57, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@QuicoleJR: I think I nailed everything, hit me up if there's anything else!--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I looked through the article again, and I did not find any more issues that need to be fixed. I will now pass the article. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:15, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
