If Sony makes a "Playstation Switch" could it succeed?

Hence why I said "if". If MS and Rare aren't involved then obviously they wouldn't receive any money, if they were, they would most certainly receive money. Unless the Pokemon games are 100% completely separate in every way from the rest of the Pokemon franchise, which is highly unlikely, Nin would have to pay PS their 66% share overall. Just because Nin has the specific rights to name/names, doesn't mean all profits from that portion all go to Nin if they only hold a third portion of the overall franchise.

Nintendo holding all the trademarks means that Pokémon won't release on PlayStation, because Nintendo would veto such a plan.

You continue to mistake Nintendo's 33% stake in the Pokémon Company as a 33% share in ownership of the IP. Since Nintendo holds 100% of the trademarks, all they have to do is say 'no' to Pokémon on PlayStation and that's the end of it.

I mention this in a prior post, which is fine. Nin says no to Pokemon on PS devices. So either PS uses their majority stake to ruin Pokemon however they decide to do so, screwing over Nin, or Nin can hold onto it and do nothing with it, or they can continue to make Pokemon games and give PS two thirds of the profits for doing absolutely nothing.
