All we've had excluding Mobile Games are Pokken DX, a port that sold worse than Labo and may very well be responsible for the death of non-mobile Spinoffs because of it, and Detective Pikachu, which is just a full version of a Gen 6 game.
LGPE is most certainly designed as a Spinoff, but the fact that they had to make GameFreak develop it, call it a Core Title despite lacking countless CORE features of the franchise and glue the Meltan Line onto it to goad collectorfags into buying it really shows just how much no one involved gives a fuck about anything except money any more.
Yes, I fully understand that money is the endgame of literally any company in existence, but when you're as fucking loaded as Pokemon and can afford to do literally anything between Nintendo, GameFreak, Creatures and TPC (where most of the money goes) but only opt to take the "rich get richer" route, it's fucking ridiculous when you've seen a huge variety of media in the past, especially back in the age of Pokemania where they didn't even NEED the Spinoffs aside from Stadium since a majority of mania's breakout success was the anime, merchandise and tie-ins galore, anyway.
