spin off
how is this "core series". you guys over gamefreak that much?Roserade57 (talk) 17:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Pokémon Stadium series uses "pocket monsters" too, is that also main series?Roserade57 (talk) 17:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Regardless of what fans think, if GameFreak says it is a core game then it is a core game. The language used in the trailer plus the "Pocket Monsters" label all point to this being a core game. Different ≠ spin-off. --SpinyShell (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- do you have the actual quote that has them saying this though?Roserade57 (talk) 05:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- The official website referred to it as the newest work of the "Pocket Monsters" series, giving it the same treatment as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. As for Stadium, the official Nintendo site classified it as its own separate series. --超龍「Chao」 07:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Prequel
If I speculated it, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the prequel to Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version as well their remake and those two main characters are the ancestors of Lucas and Dawn. --Samueljoo (talk) 04:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Hate to break it to you, Samueljoo, but speculation is verboten on this wiki and I hope I didn't catch you in the middle of trying to add that to any mainspace pages. Giratina's Embodiment - Please don't hurt us... 14:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Subtitle
So, just as a curiosity, does anyone know of aught else that has the title "Pokémon Legends"? Because the presence of a subtitle... raises implications. And I'd like to make sure that's not a disambiguation on the part of the Pokémon Company before I get my hopes up. Giratina's Embodiment - Please don't hurt us... 10:51, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- this is the first title in surely a series of LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 14:13, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't know so much about 'surely', but thank you for confirming that there's no existing items under the name "Pokémon Legends". - unsigned comment from Giratina's Embodiment (talk • contribs)
Core series?
Can somebody explain why is this considered a core series game despite not matching the definition on pretty much any level? It features new gameplay and a completely new type of setting, and also the title "Legends" indeed seems to imply a potential new subseries, with future games set in different regions with different legendary and stuff, in case this is a success. I couldn't even find a single official source calling it a main entry, they all say it's a "new frontier" for the series or that it honors Pokémon "core gameplay" while adding action-RPG elements or something like that, which pretty much explains why it's NOT a core series game. Am I missing something?--Kombatgod (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- How did I miss the previous discussion? I'll answer there.--Kombatgod (talk) 12:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
