Are spin offs dead? I mean ever since Gen 6 spin off series have slowly petered out and/or gone mobile.

Detective Pikachu 2 will be the final non-mobile spinoff.
If the next mobile game they have in mind is a flop despite intending it to be a mass success, they'll be relying on GO as the sole spinoff title that spans across every generation going forward.

It's all mobile now, say goodbye to Mystery Dungeon, Ranger games, PokePark, non-mobile Rumble, etc.
Most we'll get is another Detective Pikachu on Switch probably, everything else will be phased out in favor of GO.

you'd think that they'd make mystery dungeon into a mobile game and farm money off of that but they haven't

Spin offs have never sold super well, and now spin offs have to deal with not only the hurdle of "they don't sell well" but also with "HD Development is significantly more expensive".

Shit like Pokemon Pinball is gonna sell peanuts, but it's not gonna cost peanuts anymore, so why would they bother making it?

Mystery dungeon would fit surprisingly well with scummy mobile game monetization methods. They'd probably need to keep most dungeons short or split them into chunks for smaller play sessions. The downside it it would probably lack a meaningful story, though they could certainly weave in an overarching plot that doesn't require visiting places in a very particular order

spin-offs are so pointless. They're just another game to beat that have nothing to do with the whole series. If every game came with some kind of promo pokemon or some other essential connection for the main game, they'd really be worth buying

Go has unironically killed side games. They're not nearly as profitable, so why make them? It's really really sad.

pokemon conquest, DS mystery dungeon trilogy and pokemon colosseum+gale of darkness are god tier compared to every mainline game since X/Y.
