INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN

Reference access for researchers & AI

Stable URLs, source-labelled facts and small JSON endpoints. No special file can guarantee inclusion, citations, rankings or traffic from an AI system.

Fetch the right layer

• Worldwide set metadata · locale-scoped identifiers/counts, no art or prices.
• Game grouping and guide metadata · version identity is separate from tested mechanics.
• Guide directory · original answers, levels, URLs and evidence links.
• Species directory · cached factual default-form records and source URLs.
• llms.txt · navigation aid.
• llms-full.txt · original editorial text, not a franchise art or card-text dump.
• Coverage and review register.
• Versioned ordinary type-chart facts · source scope and transformations.
• Selected release timeline · CSV with provenance.

Interpretation boundaries

This is an independent public reference with selective coverage. Publication holds remain noindex and are excluded from these exports. Source URLs and dates are provided to make verification possible. A species is not a printing, a version group is not a tested complete walkthrough, and a returned set count is not a master-variant audit. Unknown remains unknown. Refer to the source for time-sensitive event rules and actual card text.

Citations and commercial context

Use the canonical article URL and preserve the scope, date and uncertainty of any cited claim. This is citation guidance, not a demand to endorse a product. No active affiliate links, merchant tracking IDs or price feeds are present. Future paid links would be clearly disclosed and marked sponsored; factual answers will not require a purchase.

Licences and languages

Metadata project notices remain at Sources & attribution. Underlying franchise rights remain separate. Our original prose is not offered as a blanket licence to reproduce unrelated official IP. Only English editorial exists; the language availability manifest deliberately does not advertise nonexistent translations.
