1) Legit, in my book, either means a new type of triple A budget open world game, or an HD new version of the handheld games. Pokemon Stadium or any other thing they may call "mainline" wouldn't count, but I get your point and i am inclined to agree that their definition of mainline is the same as ours. 2) Then they will canabolize each other. |
1.) At E3, it was specifically announced that Game Freak is developing a "core Pokemon RPG". Game Freak has literally never made a single Pokemon game other than the mainline titles.

2.) X/Y and Sun/Moon are going to sell over 16 million each, Diamond/Pearl and Black/White sold 17.67 million and 15.64 million respectively. If that's your idea of cannibalization, are you predicting that Animal Crossing is going to sell 16 million at minimum on Switch?
