Right after they announced this, they said that there was a new mainline game coming soon.

Forget the terms mainline and side game or whatever.  How did the advertisement of this game in any way mislead people to think it was something other than what it was?

Around here or on other boards or comments sections you can still see people claiming it's a "mainline" title because gamefreak said so and it would be offensive to call it a spin off, maybe to prove a point or to lie to themselves.

Because it is a mainline game GF made it clear that PLG will be a parallel approach to the other mainline games rather than a spin off to have broad audiences enjoy the experience of a Pokemon adventure in a far more manageable package, it's like 2d and 3d Mario. GF said they're both mainline titles only one is more core focused than the other.
