I honestly don't know the entire situation myself, just that Nintendo has a stake in the pokemon franchise as a whole, which is why it's Nintendo exclusive. As far as I know they don't actually own Gamefreak, but do publish the Pokemon games.

Maybe someone else has more insight on the situation?

The copyright is split three ways between Nintendo, Gamefreak, and Creatures. Nintendo owns the overall trademark, however. This is from The Pokemon Company's website.

 

That is not where we get confused. We get confused on Nintendo's business relationship (partnership/ownership) with Gamefreak. I could not find anything that explains anything of their business together. Specifically if Nintendo owns any stake in Gamefreak or not.
