Bought off Level 5 to develop exclusive Professor Layton games, and develop in house gotta catch them all games

Pretty sure this'll never happen... besides, PSP getting it's Pokeclone from L5 already (Danboard Senki).

Does Level 5 even own the intellectual property of Professor Layton? 

Yeah, it's 100% Level-5's IP.   Unwound Future is probably the final one that Nintendo's publishing now that Level-5 is setting up their American and European publishing outfits, though I expect Nintendo will still distribute their DS/Wii/3DS games for them (while SCEA undoubtedly handles their PSP/PS3 stuff).

L5 isn't stupid though, they know where Layton sells and why exactly they're the fastest growing Japanese games maker (well, 3rd party at least).  If not for Nintendo and DS, they literally wouldn't be where they are today.
