Pokemon is owned by GameFreak, not Nintendo... ya goose :P

It's owned in thirds by Nintendo, GameFreak, and Creatures Inc.. These three companies own The Pokemon Company which owns Pokemon. The other two companies are majority owned by Nintendo.

Well... My point is, it's not really exclusive to Nintendo. It can come out on non-Nintendo platforms (if ninty approves)

... any Nintendo franchise could come out on another platform if Nintendo approved it, lol. 

The main reason the Pokemon Company spun off into its own thing is because of all the merchandising/marketing the franchise had. Nintendo controls where every game goes, make no mistake about it.
