Right, here's what immediately struck me.

  • There's generally inconsistent formatting in relation to italics and such.
  • Lead fairly minimal, plus the Pokemon Go AR thing isn't mentioned anywhere else in the article and is completely uncited. Actually, there are a few bits in the lead which aren't mentioned anywhere else nor are they cited.
  • This game has a Japanese title. Any reason it wasn't included as a footnote per other Japanese games?
  • No gameplay screenshot.
  • I know what "SMT" is, but most people wouldn't, so a little explanation somewhere would be appropriate. Also, since its a series title, it should be italicized. Additionally, I'm not sure that abbreviation isn't really suitable for a Wikipedia page.
  • Where's the development section? There are usable interviews out there with a little googling (Famitsu, Famitsu again, Game Watch Impress, 4Gamer, Dengeki Online, RPG Site).
  • The reference for the release dates isn't ideal. No specific dates given in the article for the English version, and it doesn't contain the information regarding its Asian release dates and regions at all.
  • There are several other reviews accessible through Metacritic (RPGfan, Cubed3, RPG Site) that could be put into the review box and used for commentary and citation, but they aren't used.

I'm sorry but this article is in no way fit to be a GA. There's been little to no effort put into it at all. This I think merits an Instant Fail. I've left comments on the general state of the article so you can improve it if necessary, in addition to some sources on the development which seems the most in need since it's basically non-existent. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:21, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
