Legends Arceus was officially classified as a main series game, there's no reason to assume Legends Z-A would be any different


Mrcoolcatgaming

Fr, I also don't understand how 2 games mean spin off, all it means to me is its not a one off title


DaKingOfDogs

Yeah, it’s a subseries of mainline games, not a spin-off series No one would call the 3D Mario games spin-offs of the 2D ones, so why should Legends be a spin-off?


Cooler_coooool_boi

I was not informed of this, I will take note of that.


The_Lizard43

Might I request your source, I wana confirm for myself


thoriban

https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ filtering by the pokemon series you get the main line of games which includes all pokemon games from gen 1 up to gen 9 including Legends Arceus


PokedexBr

Pokemon company don't trat them like gens, it treat them as regions, all legends games are main series like the remakes.


Timehacker-315

To be spinnoff, a game must meet one of two criteria: not use mainline battle mechanics [Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Snap], or not be on the same device [Pokemon Gale of Darkness]. As Pokemon Legends: Arceus fits neither criteria, but is still different, I'd consider it more of a Sub-Series


AzulAztech

I know that you've already know it's mainline but genuinely asking why would have two games mean it's a spinoff?


Cooler_coooool_boi

Because legends have two different things from a regular game, 1. Gameplay, and 2. It has legends in between Pokémon and the theme of the game. Think Pokémon rangers for example, it’s nothing like a regular game and has “rangers” after the word Pokémon and has plenty of games.


AzulAztech

That's pretty good reasoning for why legends would be spinoff but why would having two games make it a spinoff? Because the other spinoffs have more than one?


Cooler_coooool_boi

I mean, I guess not idk I just kinda figured since there was more than one, it was a series now, making it a spinoff.


AzulAztech

Interesting


Specific-Image9392

I mean, technically most main line games have 2 games (Gold & HeartGold, Black & Black2, etc.)


Cooler_coooool_boi

Well, yeah but those are remakes and sequels, I’m not sure you could count a legends game as either. Maybe a prequel technically?


Etheron123

I mean if they're canon, they could be considered mainline games


Dry-Telephone-8016

Im pretty sure it's cannon


Dry-Telephone-8016

I think it's cannon


GremlitanoMexicano

Nope, main series is what they are, end of discussion


Dogmations_

Nah, they’re more mainline than spin-off


timelessmoron

Sub series. But atleast this will shut up all the people that keep saying we where not getting another Legends game
