message: not keshis? this  picture is a typical keshi. the keshi doesn't need to be japanese or japanese characters themed to be categorized as keshi. this is toy genre created in japan and spred up worldwide in the '80s but continuated in the '90s and Bandai america has just released M.U.S.C.L.E.'s follow up in America only in 2003, even though the series started in 1983 in japan. the are named erasers only because there were made of gum, it doesn't mean they were used as eraser in class... some were even sold hand painted, so the Monster in my pocket are actually keshi! and yes they were from the '80s/'90s and are part of the most famous keshis along with the M.U.S.C.L.E. line which was japanese but sold in America (Bandai could have sued them). i had monsters in my pocket myself as a kid, i know they are keshi. they are several kind of keshi, chibi keshi (small), deka keshi (big), the M.U.S.C.L.E. size is only one kind.

message: I won't make a determination on this particular nomination, but I have some comments to offer: it would help if more of the redlinks were replaced with stub articles.  Also, although I don't know how hard it might be to reference some of this information, the citations here are pretty slim for a GA.  Good effort so far, keep working.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mimpvideo.jpg

message: This article certainly needs some picutes. I still have loads of these toys somewhere at my parents house. I will have to try and find them out and take pictures when I'm next there. I certainly have some from series 1 and 2 and some of the bugs too. I may have others - will have to have a look. Are there any preferences for what pictures should be like? Single figures? Group pictures? Are any specific monsters needed for illustration a specific point? Or just general ones needed to illustrate what they are like? Evil Eye (talk) 08:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi all.
I've started some reworking on this article, because as it stands it's woefully under the level of standards that such an iconic 90s toy line should be. I wanted to make this section here on the talk page to explain what changes I've made in case anyone wishes to dispute them.
1- I've cropped "The line proved controversial for various reasons and many changes were implemented that took it away from its original mythmaking focus, though it has since reemerged with the original idea intact" to remove the advertising lingo in the last sentence, and asked for citation for this. 
2- Removed the 'aka pocket monsters' bit, it's not relevant.
3- I've put a citation requirement on which series is rarer, as this is unsourced.
4- I've removed references to season 3 being an exclusive-only, because it's just so poorly worded on the article and so full of POV that it adds nothing to the segment. 
5- There's a chunk of text that discusses the toys in the 'board games' section that I've moved into the 'toys' section instead.
6- I've changed the bit about the line 'running into trouble in the UK' because of our 'large number of Hindu people, because that phrasing is ridiculous. Unless there is a citation to explain that the UK has a disproportionately large population of Hindu's, that the Hindus were spectacularly offended by these toys, and that the offense existed purely in the United Kingdom and no other country, then it's significantly better to just go with a more neutral statement. In fact, let's just use neutral statements if at all possible.
7- Removed mention of pogs, because the article doesn't explain why it's even mentioning pogs in the first place. 
8- Removed the 'self defeating' comment about pokemon. It's self defeating to who, exactly? Neutral point of view, remember.
9- Removed the original research about X-Men characters in the comic book. Sorry, no original research. Also removed the reference to a mixed race couple as it adds nothing to the article at all, why bother with it? It's not noteable. 
I'd love it if people can help contribute more to this and get the article into a really good shape, it does deserve it.Justin.Parallax (talk) 13:13, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
