Why? Were you insulted that the is 2d and 3d Mario as well? Both are mainline games that have different goals same with Pokemon LG and the upcoming traditional game.

Nintendo can call it what ever they want, but when nintendo says its not for the core fanbase, it's hard to take the game seriously as a mainline pokemon.

2D and 3D Mario were totally different games and everyone knew it. If Nintendo wants people to buy into this being just another mainline Pokemon Gen, then they're flat out delusional. We all know this isn't "true" Pokemon. This isn't a "true" gen. We all know next year is the year we finally get what we all want. So for Nintendo to try to insinuate that this casual thing is a mainline title... it insults my intelligence and the intelligence of every other gamer waiting for a true next gen Pokemon game. 

Lets Go and the new Gen are different games as well so? They said it's a mainline game not a new gen, mainline doesn't mean new gen as far as they're concerned, the mainline Pokemon simply has branched into two parallel paths much like NSMB and 3D Mario so claiming it insults your intelligence when it's not even the mainline branch geared towards you is more you insulting your own intelligence as they've already told people the plan here.

Well were talking about sales, it will be very interesting how the reception is, especially with how games are selling these days due to hype on the internet, and metracrtic reviews.

2D and 3D Mario were NEVER the same universe. NSMB Wii and Galaxy were totally different cannons. 

Let's Go will outsell the main game anyways.

The game had the biggest line and the longest wait at e3 bigger than spiderman, smash or any other game at the convention.

Ah, so Pokemon Lets Go was playable at E3. Interesting. Will have to read up on details about it since I heard nothing about the demo from any of the gaming podcasts I listened to that covered E3.
