Why is Pokemon (partially) owned by Nintendo? Does Pokemon feel like a Nintendo franchise? Would Pokemon be better if it were not affiliated with Nintendo?

Because they funded the original Red/Green development, with an eye to having an exclusive RPG.
When it went stratospheric, that cemented its place in Nintendo's pantheon, but without that, it would be a Banjo-tier game - something they profited from, but ultimately didn't care about to save when the studio was being bought out.
tl;dr success ensured it wouldn't suffer that fate.
