Editorial standards

Teach from the source

Each course identifies its game, region, physical or digital rules, source version, and review date. Official publisher rules control when guidance differs. Teaching fixtures do not establish the legality or effects of a real card.

Independent review

The Marketing & Presence team authors course material. Game Design & Economy reviews rules and assessment content independently. The Site implementation team checks keyboard access, readable text, forms, and saved progress before publication. These are TCG Tavern editorial roles, not publisher accreditation.

Keep a versioned record

Pokémon Foundations 1.0.2 was reviewed September 21, 2026 against the July 2026 ME05 English rulebook. This revision incorporates corrected setup and first-turn examples, Prize ownership, and complete game-state assumptions. The approved packet and separate review disposition are retained with the source.

Rules content is due for review within 30 days, or sooner after a relevant official change. Overdue courses stay readable with a dated notice, while new assessments and certificates pause. Corrections receive a new revision; historical completion records remain tied to the curriculum passed.

Completion and privacy

Reading and guest practice are free. Account progress, assessment answers, and certificates are private. A certificate records course completion; it does not certify competitive skill or publisher accreditation. Public certificate sharing is not enabled for this release.

Detailed answers are removed after their retention period when records are maintained; minimal completion evidence remains with your account. Your existing account privacy export and deletion rights include Academy records.
