Let's Go are mainline games. They said it multiple times at the conference. They are also Gen 7 since they don't introduce a new region and starters. Prove me wrong.

I watched the conference and don't remember hearing them refer to LGPE as mainline games.
I remember them referring to the 2019 games as "core series" though.
Can you find a timestamp of them calling LGPE mainline?

Generations are more of a time period than what region or what pokemon they have. That's why FRLG are considered Gen 3, HGSS Gen 4, and ORAS gen 6

all that matters really is that they said 2019s game will be a continuation of the "x/y and sun and moon" style of games, aka "core" games

they're saying they're mainline games because they don't want people to realize that they're shoddy spinoffs, which by all appearances they are. Even lazier than USM were.

Hmm. They did call it a Main series game. But,
>3:12 "And the Second is the new main series Pokemon RPG"
They say "the new" not "one of the new" or "another new."
Very confusing. I'[m sure it will be a point of contention for quite some time to come.
But if it does count as main series, then I would count it as Gen 7.

They're referring to Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee there. Because of the graph it looks like they're referring to the 2019 games but the graph is actually a timeline, and that second circle doesn't get to 2019 yet, because in late 2018 Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee will be out.

Also the first thing they're referring to is the new Pokemon Quest game. They say it's coming out for Switch and Smartphone. Let's go won't be coming out for smartphone so the first circle is Pokemon Quest.

"pokemon" as a hobby and "arguing endlessly over whether an upcoming videogame is a 'mainline' entry or a 'core' entry" are not the same thing

Mainline and core are the same thing. There's only mainline/core and spin offs.

Whether it's "mainline" or "spin-off" is neither here nor there, since Game Freak made it either way.

Gamefreak also made Pokemon Quest, and that is not mainline. But Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are mainline.

If there's no new starters and region then it's not a new generation.

As it stands now, what separates each gen, is a game that consists of a new region and starters, among other things. If that ever changes then there will probably be some other way to separate them.
