@Kung Fu Man: @Pokelego999: I would recommend referring to Raichu to tweak things before I do an extensive review. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 16:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Lead

1. Include discussion of Gengar's appearance
2. Include discussion of Gengar's other forms, as well as a mention of Gastly if possible
3. Include a mention of being an early design
4. It may be worth mentioning Gengar being one of Ash's Pokémon

Conception and development

1. For clarity, did Sugimori design him to look funny, or just felt that the result was funny?

• Tweaked this to be clearer.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 06:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Appearances

1. Try to match Raichu's Appearances section
2. I'd recommend reframing it to remove DP, GS, and SM, and adding SwSh since the article doesn't really discuss GS or DP in any relevant capacity to Gengar. You could say something like "Gengar has appeared in multiple entries in the Pokemon series" with citation to verify that, and then talk about XY and SwSh.
3. Long shot, but is there any source that Gengar can be found in the wild? I know that Sun in Moon, for instance, has a rare chance through S.O.S.

• Forgot to comment this here, but all of this is done. To my knowledge, I don't think any source covers Gengar's wild encounters in great depth. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Images

1. I question the strength of the FUR for the Gengar merch image.

• I removed the image in question.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 06:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Spotcheck

1. [1] - The source does not seem to cite certain design aspects of Gengar, such as "its body is also partially submerged into the ground," "its appearance is primarily unaltered," and "its lengthened arms jut from the ground on either side of it."
2. [2] - The source does not verify that Gengar evolves in a different way in Legends Arceus

• Clarified with another source. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
• Rewrote the description to be more in line with what's shown in the screenshot and less colorful wording.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:11, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Issues rectified. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:06, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

1. [3] Doesn't seem to talk about the changes made to its teeth from fangs (which I don't think is demonstrated by the images in the article). I would recommend making sure the text is verifiable to the images or the article in question.

• Added another source from TheGamer that shows his early design in concept art to rectify that.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I would go through and make sure that all content in the first two sections are properly verified. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:56, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

@Cukie Gherkin is there anything else that needs to be done on the article? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

My b. I checked [4] and have verified it's good. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Asides

1. Hey, still gonna do it, just had my niece over, and she's priority. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 17:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

   Looks good now, passed. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
