I am very sorry for my lateness – I have had some personal issues. Well done on this article, it is very good and you clearly worked hard on it! Here is my review:

Conception and development:

1. Can you please link "Pokémon Red and Green" if it has a link?

   It just redirects to Red, Blue, and Yellow, so we've elected to not include it in the copypasta

2. Is it possibly to link or briefly explain what "elemental types" are?

   Linked

3. "along with the others" - Who are the others?

   Clarified that it is other Pokemon species

4. "These names derived from the high levels of air pollution in these areas" - I am a bit confused - could you please clarify?

   Clarified

5. Could you please link or briefly explain what "Poison-type Pokémon" and "Fairy type" for readers unfamiliar with the subject?

   I'm a little reticent to do so; I worry about being overly technical. Can the elemental types link suffice?

6. Does the ability "Levitate" mean it can levitate? If so, could you please clarify it?

   Its ability to hover is mentioned earlier

7. "a new form called a Galarian form was introduced." - Could you please clarify if this is related to Weezing?

   Clarified

8. "These new elements were designed to make it fit into a United Kingdom-based environment" - Could you briefly expand this? How did this help it fit in a UK environment?

   I can't really do that without running afoul of synthesis, because the designers only really state the connection, but don't elaborate further.

Appearances:

1. Can you please clarify what "in the wild" means?

   Not sure how to clarify this further; it just means that it's found in the wild and isn't owned by another trainer.

2. Regarding the plot in this section, it should be in present tense perMOS:PLOT

   Fixed

3. Could you please give a few examples of the food?

Critical reception:

1. What is a "regional Pokémon"?

   I clarified this in the Galarian Weezing portion of "conception and development"

2. "humorous effect by fans" - Could you please give a couple of examples if possible?

   Added an example

3. There are a lot of "X writer XYZ..." - Could some of these be changed (E.g. "x from xyz wrote...")?
4. "provided commentary on climate change" - Could you please give an example and/or explain?
5. "it had not aged as well" - Why is that?
6. Is there any information on Weezing's role in the television series?

Other:

1. I archived some of the sources through Iabot - can you please archive the rest?
2. Can you please link the websites etc in the sources? I have done a couple
3. In the lead it says "known in Japan as Matadogas" - Can you please put this in the prose and source it? Otherwise itcould be considered OR
4. Earwig shows no copyright violations
5. Article is stable and appears neutral
6. The sourcing looks good but Source #12 is considered Generally unreliable but allowed to be used in certain contexts, so could you please explain why it is okay here? I am sure it is fine, I just want to double check

   PerWP:VG/RS, Polygon is still usable generally, with the only caveat being to be cautious of its use. Further, the issue of reliability with this source is articles posted as of May 2025, thus this does not apply. -Cukie Gherkin (talk)22:06, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Okay that is great, thank you!! :)DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk)23:12, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Once these are addressed I will do a source spotcheck. Please let me know if you have any questions at all or need assistance! :)DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk)09:15, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
