Based on this opinion, Nintendo gets directly around 10%, but Nintendo also have 1/3 of share of Pokemon Company, so that's another 10%, Nintendo also have around 1/3 of share of Game Freaks that have 1/3 share of Pokemon Company and Nintendo ahve some share in Niantic itself, so at end Nintendo is getting probably around 25-30% of profit.

So is Nintendo getting money for doing nothing then?

Whole Pokemon Go idea was Iwata's idea, also they definitely giving some help to Niantic same like Pokemon Company, but most likely at least 80% job is done by Niantic itself.

Nintendo also releasing Pokemon Go Plus device, and most of profit will be taken by Nintendo of course.
