- My first thought reading the hook was "my sphincter, the games were released in 1996!". The hook should make it clear that the games were in fact released then - simply adding "the 1996 games" will take the hook above WP:DYK200, so something else will have to give.--Launchballer 07:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think the mention of the year of release is so important that it needs to be added, the hook is centered on the kimono and I'm already specifying that it's the game's 25th anniversary. The hook is long enough as it is. - OtharLuin (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Yes, which means as written the hook implies they were released in 1997! That said, I am a huge Pokémaniac (even to the point I spent much of the pandemic writing Pokémon-themed fanfiction, which at some point I should rewrite from scratch) and perhaps I'm being too overprotective. An actual reviewer can adjudicate on this.--Launchballer 07:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Was this a limited-time promotion or now ongoing/continual? "Since the January 2022 sumo tournament, gyoji can be seen" makes it sound like the latter, while the sources give the impression that they were only talking about the one tournament. If it was just for a limited time then we should rephrase and use past tense. Adumbrativus (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- No limit in time. The Japan Sumo Association made a set of kimono to celebrate the anniversary but gyoji can still be seen wearing the said pokémon-inspired kimono in the ring today. (another source) - OtharLuin (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
