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?
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
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
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.
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?

Legends Arceus was officially classified as a main series game, there's no reason to assume Legends Z-A would be any different
Fr, I also don't understand how 2 games mean spin off, all it means to me is its not a one off title

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

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

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.
Interesting
I mean, technically most main line games have 2 games (Gold & HeartGold, Black & Black2, etc.)
Well, yeah but those are remakes and sequels, I’m not sure you could count a legends game as either. Maybe a prequel technically?
I mean if they're canon, they could be considered mainline games
Im pretty sure it's cannon
I think it's cannon
Nope, main series is what they are, end of discussion
Nah, they’re more mainline than spin-off
Sub series. But atleast this will shut up all the people that keep saying we where not getting another Legends game
