https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2030941413240701317Thank you based Miku for reminding these bozos again that LGPE, Arceus and Z-A are mainline games.
Marketing can say all it wants.If people don't "feel it" then it doesn't matter.
>>59032419The marketing argument is just an excuse to remain in denial.If what you said were true, Pokopia wouldn't be treated as a spin-off. However, Pokobia is a spin-off despite its content originating from Game Freak.
>>59032426Hard facts, eloquently stated.
>>59032426I'm explaining why people don't think of them as mainline.They are undeniably mainline but to most retarded people they don't "feel" mainline because to them "mainline means new gen, new pokemon, new region new characters".Repeating THEY'RE MAINLINE THEY'RE MAINLINE THEY'RE MAINLINE on the marketing will not magically change people's feelings.It is what it is.
>>59032419>my feelings are more important than the objective truth that comes from the people in chargeLMAOOOOOO
>>59032434The "people" you refer to are the same who ignore EVERY spin off. And frankly, the fanbases is not as retarded as you shitbags. That's why despite them "thinking Legeds games are spin-offs", they've actually sold in line with every past Game Freak game and not akin to every failure of a project from TPC got formed and Nintendo stopped making pokéon spin-offs themselves, like every failure spin off from PMD to colo/gale to batlle revolution, to poképark to fucking pokkén. Isn't it amazing for a spin off to get actual attention, they needed to rope in Game Freak to get sales, huh? Because this shit would have disappeared if not for Game Freak working on it.

>>59032434We don't care; it's not the fans who decide whether content within a franchise is a spin-off or not.Besides, spin-offs in Pokémon tend not to be canon. However, everything that happens in Legends is an integral part of the mainline's lore.
>>59032491Save your breath, Game Freak revealed Legends: Arceus as being a prequel to the events of DPPt/BDSP and they still sperged it's a spin-off. Can't educate the terminally or wilfully retarded.
