• As a former player of this game, I decided to review its article. I know exactly what appends in this game, however, there are several unsourced statements which people that haven't played the game might tag it with {{Citation needed}}. You might want to find a game guide or check on video game website. Those unsourced statements are:
  • "Wes then confronts one of the grunts, which results in the latter's defeat. Finding out that he is an expert at snagging Pokémon, Rui asks him to join forces with her in finding and snagging Shadow Pokémon."
  • "As the game progresses, Wes becomes a target of a powerful organization known as Cipher. After leaving Phenac, he visits Pyrite Town, where Rui was kidnapped. In Pyrite, Shadow Pokémon are openly offered to winners of the town's Colosseum tournament. The local police force is powerless to stop the practice, so Duking, an influential man in Pyrite, asks Wes to enter the tournament and investigate. Wes enters the Colosseum challenge and defeats four trainers to win. Inside a nearby building, a Cipher Peon is about to present the Shadow Pokémon prize, but a friend recognizes Rui. The pair then battle their way through the building and a maze-like cave set in the rock behind. Eventually, they face and defeat Miror B., one of four Cipher Admins. Afterwards, Wes returns a Pokémon Miror B. stole from Duking. A team of kids working in Duking's house introduce themselves as members of an anti-Cipher news network, known as the Kids Grid, who pledge their help to Wes and Rui."
  • "Their next stop is Agate Village, a forested village in the mountains. As Rui introduces Wes to her grandfather Eagun, another villager runs into the room, telling them that the Relic Stone—a shrine protected by Celebi—is under attack. Wes, following Eagun to the center of the tree, fights off four Cipher agents before the Relic Stone is safe. After resting, Wes is given access to the Relic Stone, the only place where he can purify Shadow Pokémon. On a suggestion from Eagun, Wes decides to train his skills at the nearby Mt. Battle."
  • "More members of the Kids Grid are here. They tell the player of Venus, another Cipher administration, who has influence over The Under. After Wes confronts Venus, the owner of the second legendary dog Suicune, she flees. Next, Wes and Rui head to the Shadow Pokémon Lab, where Pokémon are transformed into Shadow Pokémon. After defeating numerous Cipher peons, Wes faces Ein, the final Cipher administrator and the owner of the final legendary dog Raikou."
  • "Wes and Rui then go to Realgam Tower. All four administrators are there and ready to face Wes again. After doing so, he is granted access to the Colosseum at the top of the building. There, he is greeted by a large crowd. A Cipher man named Nascour tells Wes that he will have to face four trainers. After Wes defeats all four trainers, Nascour fights him. Once defeated, Nascour tries to leave, only to be interrupted by Es Cade. Es Cade reveals that he is really none other than Evice, the head of Cipher, and battles Wes. When Wes defeats him, Evice attempts to escape by helicopter, but the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh swoops in and blasts it out of the sky. Evice and Nascour are presumably arrested."
  • I will try to source these as soon as possible, but so far I've just been doing it with game quotes. Tezero (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
• "and May 14 in Europe." - Add the year on the end of May 14 (2004).
  • Fixed. Tezero (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
• You should explain more on what a "Colosseum" is (preferably as early as possible, like in the Gameplay section), because some might confused it with the Colosseum.
  • Fixed. Tezero (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
• The wikilinking is odd throughout the article, like several words are linked several times throughout the article, such as: Nintendo, Pokémon, Nintendo GameCube, Genius Sonority, single-player, multiplayer, and player. So delinked these words except for their first use in the article.
  • I don't see any of those being linked more than once in the infobox, once in the intro, and once in the body, if even that much. That's considered to be the acceptable level for linking. Tezero (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
• Note: I don't think Plot items are necessary to be sourced, because it is automaticly assumed that they are being sourced by the game. At FA-level quotes could be included, but I don't think they are required for GA level. But if the "plot items" go into detail like "blank did this because of what happened before", it could be WP:OR, and needs a source. Straight forward things are fine though. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 13:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

With that being said and done, I will pass this article. Congratulations,--12george1 (talk) 16:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
