With the anime being at a high point, new merchandise coming out, new games coming out, etc., it's very impressive Pokemon is still growing after all these years. It's part of the worldwide culture, no longer just a 90s phenomenon. So many events surrounding Pokemon and the franchise even repped the Japanese national football team. I wouldn't be surprised if it made a presence in the 2020 Olympics and become a main attraction in the Nintendo theme parks.

But presumingly they'd get a higher share of the revenue due to them being the publisher of the Pokemon games, right?

they own 33, and creatures inc 33 just like gamefreak... but! nintendo owns creatures inc, so 66%

You have any source to back up that Nintendo owns Creatures Inc? Because as far as I know, they only own a minority share.

So...

Does Nintendo have a strangle hold on the PokeMon Company/IP?

Is there no chance one day someone else could decide they want it?

If so would Nintendo be powerless if the PokeMon Company wanted out?

tecnically speaking it's possible for someone to buy out the Pokémon IP, the only problem is that ALL the pokémon names, items, characters etc. are filled under copyright by Nintendo, so whoever wanted to buy it would end up with a  title that has near to 0 content to it...

He isnt lying in terms of good quality. i dont watch it all exactly but what i cantell the anime is absolutely great. From animations to story/filler etc. Not to mention spin off mega evolution specials now mix in the anime. This might be where the main character might actually win the league too xD

Effectively all of it via various shells and other arrangements.

Sources?

Well, they own 1/3 outright, and an "undisclosed" stake in Creatures Inc (lol). which owns another 1/3. However, since they own 100% of the Pokemon IP, and TPC and Creatures Inc. are worthless without that (and maybe even Game Freak), then they have far more of the decision making power than their stake implies.
