At Kanto Post, our goal is to deliver accurate, timely, and useful coverage of Pokémon games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, merchandise, events, and wider gaming culture.
We aim to balance editorial independence with transparency around monetization, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships.
Mission & Coverage Priorities
Kanto Post covers news, guides, and analysis for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, with a focus on original reporting over recycled press releases. We aim to publish a small number of substantive stories each week rather than high-volume templated news. Our coverage includes new set releases, market and pricing trends, grading and authentication, and the businesses and products built around the TCG's collecting and investing economy. We also cover Palworld's official trading card game. We do not cover every Pokémon TCG story that breaks. We prioritize stories where we can add genuine analysis, context, or original reporting beyond what's already been said elsewhere.
Accuracy and Updates
We strive to ensure all published information is accurate at the time of publication.
- Articles may be updated when:
- New information becomes available
- Official announcements change prior reporting
- Errors are identified
- Product details, prices, or release dates change
Where major updates are made, we may add an update note to the article.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently.
Affiliate partnerships, advertising relationships, or commercial agreements do not determine:
- What we cover
- How we review products
- Our opinions or recommendations
Sponsored content and advertisements will be clearly labeled.
Review and Guide Content
Some articles may include:
- Hands-on impressions
- Community analysis
- Market observations
- Opinion-based recommendations
Trading card prices, pull rates, and product availability can change rapidly.
Sources and Rumors
We distinguish between:
- Official announcements
- Verified reporting
- Community rumors or leaks
- Speculative reporting based on patterns and/or beliefs consistent with editorial
Rumor-based reporting will be clearly labeled where appropriate.
Unnamed Sources
We prefer named, on-the-record sources wherever possible. Anonymous sourcing is used sparingly, only when a source has a legitimate reason to remain unnamed, and the information can't reasonably be obtained on the record, and only when an editor has independently assessed the source's credibility.
Verification & Fact-Checking
Where possible, claims in our reporting are verified against official sources - Pokémon Company and Pokémon Center announcements, TCGplayer market data, and named industry experts. Pull-rate and odds figures are sourced from community pack-tracking and platforms like TCGplayer; because these are statistical estimates rather than official figures, we label them clearly as estimates and note our sources. If a figure can't be verified against a credible source, we say so rather than presenting it as confirmed.
Actionable Feedback
If you spot an error, have a correction to report, or want to raise a concern about our coverage, contact us via the Contact page. We review all correction requests and update published articles when warranted, consistent with our corrections policy above.
How We Handle Corrections
If an article contains inaccurate information, we may:
- Correct spelling or formatting silently
- Update outdated information
- Add editor’s notes for significant factual changes
Major corrections may include a note explaining what was changed.
