I'll take this one. Might take a few days for my initial remarks. Also, would you like to review Doctor Who series 13? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review reception later in 10-12 hours. Also, I made some minor edits myself.

Lead

all fine

History and appearances

lowered to a 1 in 4096 chance: that's an increase, not lowering?
- Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The term "Shiny" was originally used by fans and later adopted as an official name.: when did these happen? give year or decade
- Not specified, and I couldn't find anything detailing it further. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Designer James Turner stated: has any other designer stated anything else?
- No. From what I've researched, he's the only one to specifically say anything on this, so I did not mention other examples. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changes

can you give how much the odds change for the examples which don't say it, if possible?
- Added for the Masuda Method. Avoided it for other methods since their odds vary a lot more depending on how many mons are knocked out, and I don't want to fill the article with a list of statistics for effects only present in one pair of games. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
what's overworld?
- Added a hyperlink, which should suffice. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spin-offs

How do "Shining Pokemon" cards differ from normal cards?
- Added. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
without a "full art" display? what does this mean?
- Tried redefining it but admittedly hard to do given it's a technical term. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Radiant Pokémon were later introduced, and functioned similarly to Shining Pokémon.: again, how are these different
- Added. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References and Images

There is a TheGamer ref which is not wikilinked.
- Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Other references, and the image, is fine

Spot-check

I will check every 4th in general

[3]: Nicknamed 'Shiny' Pokémon by the fanbase, now an official term ... 1-in-8192 chance which then got reduced (or increased, chance-wise) as of Pokémon X & Y to 1-in-4096. (first two are usually common to Pokemon articles, so not checked)
[5]: catch a red Gyarados as part of the mainline story.
[9]: one in 683 chance of hatching a shiny.
[13]: Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee & Pikachu introduced shiny chains
[17]: Shining Pokémon pre-date all of these
[21]: people started to catch shinies in the most difficult balls possible (to check a ref in the reception)
[4]:it requires the patience and time commitment you’d expect from a true Pokémon master(also used in the reception)

Reception

1st para-fine
2nd para- "According to Polygon, Shiny Pokémon have ... ".
- Done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 13:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2nd and 3th para- Mention that ref 24, 3 and 4 are SI, NL and SI respectively.
- Done. The second SI ref in the third para alone because I specified earlier in Reception that Woodrow was with Sports Illustrated, and shouldn't need to be clarified again. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 13:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

@Pokelego999: will review reception later. I only saw these minor issues in the rest of the article. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:46, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Just some minor changes in reception needed, ping me when done. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DoctorWhoFan91 done. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 13:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: no issues came up in the spot check. Great work on the article, happy to pass. Congratulations! DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:39, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
