Porting from Pokemon Company means Niantic gives the source code to Pokemon Company. Maybe, maybe not happen. If Nintendo is so much involved in Pokemon Go, why where is no Nintendo Logo at all in Pokemon Go? It only show Pokemon Company - which manages the licenses of the Pokemon franchise. And despite we not knowing what NX is, to port Pokemon Go it needs GPS and mobile internet (if it is an handheld at all). That are really big question marks. |
*whispers* Nintendo almost c ertainly has a majority stake in the Pokemon Company when considering their direct 1/3 stake in it AS well as their control over another company they founded (Gamefreak, which is practically excluseively involved with Pokemon). They also already invested into Niantic (as did the Pokemon Company) when it broke off from Google
at this point the Niantic Company is probably partially an independent company and PARTIALLY basically owned by Nintendo (Pok Co + Nintendo)
its the same reason on ANY Pokemon merchandise or games the Pokemon Company logo gets priority over Nintendo's- they're the primary source for their games, but it doesn't change who financially actually controls things for the most part
