Game freak is treating it as a main title, and e3 reception was really good, with a lot of people also waiting in line to play. With the most shipments of any switch game, I think it's safe to assume they are banking on this title 

..but it's still not a main title. I don't know, maybe it'll sell well and I'm ok with that, but it's kind of insulting for them to think we're stupid enough to think this is a main game and not some quirky Pokemon Rumble thing.

I don't like the game either, but I recognize it is a mainline title, a stripped and watered down entry that doesn't advance the series forward in any substantial ways (besides co-op), but still mainline. The changes to wild encounters isn't a fundamental difference. The end result is still the same, and you've still got your battling, trading and adventuring all intact. Actual spin-offs like Mystery Dungeon, Rumble, Quest, etc. are wholly different games.
