Nope, it's a private company.

Nah, they own it. You can look up the shares holders, majority is Nintendo.

No, they don't. Owning majority share =/= owning the entire company. Game Freak is a second-party dev. Plus they are a private company, not public, so I don't think they even operate with shares.
