Can someone add the fact these 2 are the exact same guy? I would put in images but I don't own the copyright, so take the google links? https://www.google.com/search?q=todd+pokemon+snap&rlz=1CAJJUF_enUS940&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=48mjkm_fbeZDYM%252Cn7NaOvfol0SkJM%252C%252Fg%252F121fwqy3&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQUyy6WuLXjKtlR8Gr0VOZLmWj2aQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi3ndasnL_wAhXRVs0KHWO2B-wQ_B16BAgzEAE&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=Xf0C16m0fTeKqM&imgdii=NwziJoMmZuMx7M https://www.google.com/search?q=todd+pokemon+snap&rlz=1CAJJUF_enUS940&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=48mjkm_fbeZDYM%252Cn7NaOvfol0SkJM%252C%252Fg%252F121fwqy3&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQUyy6WuLXjKtlR8Gr0VOZLmWj2aQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi3ndasnL_wAhXRVs0KHWO2B-wQ_B16BAgzEAE&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=Xf0C16m0fTeKqM  Preceding unsigned comment added by RemiruPlushie (talkcontribs) 13:36, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lead

edit
 Done
  • "Bandai Namco Studios were given the opportunity to develop the game due to their work on Pokkén Tournament" this may be a me problem but I don't quite understand what "their work" means without further context
 Done Changed.
  • "As of March 2022, the game has sold over 2.4 million copies." any update?
No. Typically Nintendo only reveal stats of games that have sold a million or more copies in a fiscal quarter. This date was the last time Nintendo ever mentioned the game's total sales.
  • "DLC" -> "Downloadable content (DLC)"
 Done Fixed
Now that I look at it I don't think "Downloadable" should be capitalized
 Done
  • "[Downloadable content|Downloadable content (DLC)]" -> "[downloadable content] (DLC)" per MOS:NOTBROKEN
 Done

Gameplay

edit
  • "The game features 214" -> "The game originally featured 214"
 Done
  • Delink brightness
 Done
  • "favourite" -> "favorite" as American English is used for the rest of the page
 Done

Plot

edit
  • Fine

Development

edit
  • "instead suggesting the idea of playing Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 on the Wii U instead" I don't think this is relevant as it never happened (but I fell for the rumor)
 Done Removed

Release and promotion

edit
  • [Instax] [Mini Link] is an MOS:SOB violation
 Done Changed.
  • Why is "smartphone" linked here and not "Development"? I'd argue it's common enough to not need a link
 Done Delinked.
  • "made completing a LenTalk mission" missing a word there
 Done Added the word impossible.
  • "received Pokémon-related merchandise from staff" whose staff?
 Done Clarified.

Reception

edit
  • "GameSpot" is linked twice
 Done 2nd link removed
  • Note D could be incorporated into prose, though it should remain in the ratings box
 Done Incorpirated
  • Cut the reviews without scores from the ratings box
 Done
  • "Beth Nicholls of Digital Camera World..." that whole paragraph doesn't really fit under fandom
 Done Moved to the 3rd paragraph of reception
  • "as an award" -> "as a reward"
 Done

References

edit
  • Spot checks flagged nothing
  • Split the first and second halfs of ref 139 into their own citations
 Done Split. CaptainGalaxy 11:20, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
  • Ref 173 improperly uses DMY dates
 Done Fixed.
  • Ref 178 is missing a space in "Game Developer:McAloon"
 Done Fixed. CaptainGalaxy 21:16, 25 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  • ... that players can print out their photos taken in the video game New Pokémon Snap?
Improved to Good Article status by Captain Galaxy (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 13 past nominations.

    General: Article is new enough and long enough
    Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
    Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
    QPQ: Done.
    Overall: Article is over 1,500 words in prose. It was nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. Each paragraph has inline sources and the article is read with a neutral tone. Earwig picked up a "possible copyright violation" of 56.4% which is mostly attributed to a quote that is properly cited in the article. QPQ is done. I like ALT0 as is. I don't see any alarming problems other than suggesting to trim down the quote. lullabying (talk) 06:03, 28 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
