The evidence ladder
Claims on this site are graded by where they come from, and the grade decides how we phrase them. At the top sit publisher materials: GAME FREAK and Fictions announcements, the Steam / PlayStation / Xbox store listings, and official patch notes — these are stated as fact and linked. One rung down is platform data: Steam's global achievement statistics, aggregate review scores read directly from Metacritic and OpenCritic on a stated date. These are quoted with the date we read them, because they move. Below that is tested community documentation — established editorial guide teams whose tables we can cross-check — always named inline when used. At the bottom: auto-generated wiki content, which we treat as a rumor mill, not a source. Several of this game's most-repeated \"facts\" trace back to nothing, and our pages say so where it matters.
Dates are part of the content
Beast of Reincarnation has shipped three patches in its first month, and numbers that were right at launch are already wrong. Every guide here carries a visible last-updated date, and moving figures (scores, unlock percentages, patch versions) state the day they were read. If a page's date is older than the newest patch, treat its tuning-sensitive details with appropriate suspicion — that is exactly how we treat other people's pages.
When we get it wrong
We correct in the open. Where an earlier version of a page carried a claim that turned out false — and it has happened, including a speculative pre-launch boss order and an item name that appeared in no official source — the corrected page says an earlier version was wrong, rather than silently pretending otherwise. Readers who acted on the old claim deserve to know it changed. Spotted something off? The contact page reaches the person who edits this site.
What never gets published
Invented numbers, movesets nobody has tested, unverified \"confirmed\" labels, recycled tables from other SEO sites, and any figure whose only source is another AI-written page. Where the honest answer is \"nobody official has said,\" the page prints that answer.
Advertising, clearly fenced
Display advertising pays the hosting bills. It buys advertisers space on the page — never words in the text. No article here is sponsored, no ranking or recommendation is paid for, and if that ever changes, the affected page will announce it at the top. The mechanics of the ad stack and your privacy choices are documented in the privacy policy; our non-affiliation with the game's makers is spelled out in the disclaimer.
