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.

I didn't ask how people on message board views it.  I asked how did the advertising of the game in any way mislead people to think that this was something other than what it is?
