That's just people pre-johning for when it doesn't wind up meeting unrealistic expectations.

I mean unrealistic expectations for a game freak game. Not for a game in general.

It will be their next big game if it sells well. Game freak is trying out new things and seeing what sticks.

If it does badly, they'll call it a one-off. If it does well and if development went smoothly, they could very easily make it the new format for mainline games.

Even if it isn't made into the new official direction for mainline games, many aspects of the gameplay will be incorporated into future mainline games.

So the game seems to be somewhere between monster Hunter and BOTW.

we dont know how important the game will be in the future.

but most people are considering it a new branch in the mainline games since its adding new Pokmon.

the games considered mainline are

The Main Pokmon series
Pokmon Go
The Legends Series

I mean did you expect it to be a main game? It takes place in old sinnoh, not a new region, so far has only one version and hasn't been marketed as the next mainline game.

Bulbapedia also says it's a "core" game. It's weird people have to keep being corrected on this. The Japanese title also shares the same naming convention as the other main titles.

game freak has only ever made one spinoff pokemon game before, it was Pokemon quest. game freak considers let's go to be a mainline game. my guess is that we're at the point where if it has integration with home and is a full pokemon adventure, they probably consider it mainline. they also said in the introduction to the game that it represents new approach for the pokemon video game series which to me sounds like it's not just meant to be a spinoff

They use language like that for everything, I think the take earlier of if it works, is easy, and popular they will keep doing it is closest.

Everything else is pretty much bs.

All press has implied its on the same tier as Pokmon go

and go is considered a mainline game.

and I honestly really like the idea of 3 different mainline series.

The traditional Pokmon games
the Pokmon Go gamec
the more experimental legends games.

It's not deep at all. It's surface level knowledge it's a main series game but people can't understand basic things.

So you have no source. It is clearly a spinoff with the change to battle system. Not sure why that is so hard to understand.
