Doesn't the publisher usually get a major share, especially when it owns the IP? Or do they need to pay big to google?

The pokemon company is not owned by nintendo

Not fully but they do own about 32% of the company. They also own about 30% of Creatures Inc. who in turn own about 32% of the TPC as well. So in NIntendo's sense it kind of adds up in a way.

Didn't expect it to fall so quickly. Thought it would remain that high for a few more weeks.

Why do people not understand that the implication they're making is not because mobile isn't lucrative, but because they don't own the IP, they aren't the publisher, and only had minimal involvement?

The big winners here are niantic, google, apple, and the the pokemon company.
Nintendo only owns a share of the pokemon company revenue, which is already going to be split several ways.

Nothing to do with the financial impact of mobile. In fact, had nintendo actually had the balls to make the game in the first place, they would have made infinitely more.

They also own a share of Niantic Company, but your point is the same. The only real criticism you could have of Nintendo was not producing something like this first so that they could take in the majority of profits.

Hypothetical question.

Do you think Google would benefit from purchasing the Pokémon franchise from Nintendo? (Assuming that is possible. I don't know how trans-national IP transfer works.)

Following that, how much do you think Nintendo is dependent on the Pokémon franchise?

Maybe? Nintendo's probably not interested in selling.

Very. The franchise has helped cement Nintendo's mobile gaming until recently.

"Nintendo should go full mobile"

they should go full mobile for advertising :P

 

A balance of advertising on TV and mobile can create amazing results. Nintendo's advertising issues can be solved.

 

for example, if nintendo made a mario game, imagine if the popup ads show the NX and make people start to get interested. 

 

Things like this can really help them

Smile on one guys face from hearing this news though. Wasn't surprised when I saw the title.

Probably nor Nintendo nor the Pokemon Company is interested in selling the rights.Pokemon already makes a killing in handheld machines, and Nintendo is not exactly saying no to their mobile initiative.And on Nintendos part they are bound to lose one of their biggest franchises, which is associated with their brand.This is a lose-lose situtation, so i dont think it will happen.

Mobile games are the fast food of the industry. Shallow, nutritionally empty and short sided. The future of the industry is not in mobile. It's in sustainable IP. Whatever that is, I don't know but I know it's not mobile games.
