Cloyster was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake. Date of review: 14:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I worked heaps on this page and I think it turned out as one of the most complete Pokemon articles. :) -WindFish 05:59, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm, yes, this certainly is one of them. I might even say that this is the standard by which all other Pokemon articles are to be measured... In the ideal world, all the other 390 Pokemon have articles as complete as this. -Erik the Appreciator (D'oh, I don't really get this signature business right.)

[edit] GA Failing

• No fair use rationales
• No introductions at the top of sections
• Bad writing
• Gender introduction for no reason
• Plural is messy

[edit] GA Failing

Let me give a lesson on italics and references -

• "Pokémon anime", should be "Pokémon anime".
• "Pokemon manga series", is a completely different series of manga, when you are talking about "Pokémon Adventures".
• "Pokémon Trading Card Game" should "Pokémon Trading Card Game."
• "Pokémon Red and Blue", should be "Pokémon Red and Blue"

Now for references -

• References should be like this -

.<ref> 

• Not these -

. <ref> 
</ref>. 

• anime ones should look like this -

• • Synopsis of Pokémon anime; Episode 001 "Pikachu, I Choose You!" Serebii.net. URL Accessed [[July 22], 2006.</ref>

• manga ones should be referenced by the book, like here.

The article is still choppy, the formatting is terrbile, the prose is not paragraphed correctly. The article is badly referenced, and the sections intro in other GAs, like Combusken, are lacking. Try again, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 16:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind me making a copy of the books into my userspace —Minun ^Spiderman 15:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, as long you give credit to me for organising it when it's due. Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 15:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA... again

There are no references in parts of the video games, the anime and the TCG. Do not renominate articles without making any edits. Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 14:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
