:::::Additionally, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does not use "Pocket Monsters" in Japanese. That only appears in the English name displayed on the Japanese cover. Although how the official Japanese site classifies the games is much more important than the game's title anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC) | :::::Additionally, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does not use "Pocket Monsters" in Japanese.

::::::This is CLEARLY a spinoff. It has its own new subtitle, just like "Pokémon Stadium", "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon", "Pokémon Ranger" and so forth. It doesn't match the concept of main series game on any level and no official source calls it a new main entry, they all just say it's a "new frontier" or something like that. The strongest evidence according to this discussion is "The language used in the trailer" and the "'Pocket Monsters' label", but the former is arguable and the latter is false: this game is officially called "Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス" using the western name in Japanese, so it's as far from the official "'Pocket Monsters' label" as you can get.--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC) | ::::::This is CLEARLY a spinoff.

::::::That thing about the site classification too doesn't make sense: being a new high-budget game they'll obviously promote this more, but that doesn't necessarily make it part of the core series, and also that link to the official Pokémon Stadium site is counter-productive for the proposed argument since it straight up calls it "the definitive entry in the Pocket Monsters series" so according to the site that's the most core series ever!
