Talk:Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Mainline game confirmed

It is confirmed that it's a core/mainline game on the press conference (at the 17:25 timestamp). It is NOT a side/spin-off game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_qtyOa5Dg Josephvb10 (talk) 04:39, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The video says "mainline" and not "core". They may not necessarily be the same thing. This tweet might suggest that Let's Go is not quite equivalent to the likes of actual core games like XY, SM, etc.

At 40:13 they say that the 2019 game is another core series game for Nintendo Switch, so they also use the term core for Let's Go.

Certainly "mainline" seems very similar to "core". But there's enough odd about this (that they didn't actually say "core", and that Let's Go doesn't yet seem to be what a standard core game would be) to hold off on jumping to that conclusion. We can see what other info arises down the line. Tiddlywinks (talk) 05:02, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
