That's a misconception that mobile and 3DS compete the actual truth is they're different branches as the games people go for on each are heavily different, mobile is essentially another platform for Nintendo now. It's like saying Facebook games compete with Steam.

Nintendo actually owns not only controlling stake but also full publishing rights of Pokemon, they fully own Kirby as well.

33% isn't a controlling stake. I don't know how the publishing deal works, but I do know they only own 33% of the franchise and only get 33% of The Pokemon Company's profit, with Creatures Inc and GameFreak also owning 33% each as well.

They own the controlling stake because they own significant stock in Creatures Inc. this gives them controlling pull over the franchise they also own the trademark fully as mentioned on the Pokemon official site.
