METHOD

Editorial policy

A number appears on this site only when a public page states it. Two independent sources are better. One source stays labeled as one. A conflict stays as two readings.

What counts as a source

A developer page, a developer post, a tool’s own documentation, a news article that adds a date, and a reference work for the older games. Two pages on the same Blogger count as one publisher. A file-host page is a source for file size and upload time, not for design intent.

Screenshots on the articles are frames from the official trailer or the published logo and key art. The hero plaza is an illustration made for the guide and is captioned that way.

What stays blank

Gym parties, recommended levels, a full Pokédex list, Mega Stone locations, a checksum, system requirements, playtime, and the steps inside an offline trade code. If a later public post fills one of those, the page should gain a row, not a guess.

Corrections

Mail [email protected]. The change log for a page is its modified date, which is 2 November 2026 for this first edition.

Questions

Do you test claims inside the game?

The pages cite public posts, the trailer, and tool docs. A blank means the public record is blank.

Will you average two dates?

No. Crystal’s US date is printed as 29–30 July 2001 because Serebii and Wikipedia differ by a day.
