Basically, it tells them to play the games and watch the anime to get an accurate understanding of Pokemon's world before they make products, as well provide a bunch of rules that they have to follow (no food chain, no real animals, Pokemon can't be referred to with gendered pronouns, Pokemon can't die in battle, no explicit blood relations between Pokemon unless they're siblings).
