>>36765362Yet they haven't ever called it Core (which they started using at E3 back in 2017 to refer to the 2019 effort mind), instead being just mainline. Funny thing is, if GF weren't making it, but some TPCi-contracted company, it wouldn't be set in Kanto and coupled with the non-Core battle mechanics, plays differently enough to the Core games to fall under the spin-off section. That GF decided to suddenly do a spin-off but didn't wish to mark it with that cancerous label is irrelevant, when what constitutes a Core game is clearly defined.
>>36765389>"USM isn't a Core Gen VII gaem"Which is how I know you're a retard and pulling shit out of context. We're in a Ranger situation here, pokémon spin-off launching on the new hardware at the end of the current Generation, to herald the coming of the core series to that new hardware relatively soon in the future. There is no backwards-compatability to send shit from SM/USM to LGEP (just like you could only send shit from DS to DS and not back to the GBA), but Bank will be able to move shit from SM/USM/LGEP to Gen VIII.
