Followup to GA

The article is looking better, but there's still some remaining issues.

Redundancy and overlinking still a problem throughout (most egregiously: {{!xt|In the 2019 film Detective Pikachu, a detective Pikachu is voiced by Ryan Reynolds. For the 2019 live action film Detective Pikachu, the titular character was portrayed by Ryan Reynolds.}} but also in repetitious prose {{!xt|Originally after evolving into Raichu, Raichu}} or Super Smash Bros getting mentioned in the overview and then again later as if it hadn't been mentioned already. We get multiple repetitious "Critic X said [this thing that's the same as critic Y]" that gets old fast and should probably get condensed.
If the idea is to have an overview, then go into appearances, and then go back to development, I think it needs a rethink. Right now development info of the character is split across all three sections.
Still improperly and inconsistently-formatted refs, such as 36, 45, and 106. Citations using {{tl|sfn}} should probably use {{tl|sfnp}} to match the {{tl|cite web}} formatting.
