>>36788245They don't own any of Game Freak.
They own part of Creatures and Game Freak's share is higher than either Creatures or Nintendo. We've known the exact numbers, dipshit and the only thing that's changed is 4 Kids now no longer owns 3% meaning the breakdown would likely be 34/33/33 for Game Freak/Creatures/Nintendo now since it was previously 33/32/32/3.
>>36788228No, they don't. They own the trademarks. Game Freak could, if they wanted, just rename everything to avoid that as the only imagery they own is the logos, not the Pokémon designs themselves.
They almost certainly never would do that but they absolutely own everything that is essential to Pokémon.
