I think that The Pokemon Company isn't fully owned by Nintendo and so is kind of independent. I'm sure Nintendo approved the decision but there is some form of independence in the partnership. I'm sure Nintendo also saw this as a good monetary move as well as a good way to test the grounds of releasing their franchises on smart devices. |
Well now that you mention it people where fighting about that in the comment section of that article lol.I looked it up and Nintendo founded the Pokemon company 1998 to basically run the Pokemon brand. I think they step it to handle the worldwide release of Red and Blue. Its a separate corporate entity which makes it a subicitary of Nintendo I guess.
