Im pretty sure they called Nintendo in those comments. "Hello Nintendo! There are 23 days until the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Everybody's coming. You should come on down too."
@nibbin1191: I never stated they voted to stay in Ireland. But they did want to stay in the EU like Ireland is. So i guess Untied Ireland is a myth? Are they not trying to vote to leave the UK right now? Did they not ask America to help them? If they want to join the Republic of Ireland, then America will help them. If they want to remain independent, we will help them do that also. Its whatever Northern Ireland wants.
@neowarrior793: Im not sure what your talking about. Pokemon GO was co-developed by Pokemon Co too, they even sent their most famous composer, Masuda, to compose for the game.
@neowarrior793: They arnt the only developer, Nintendo is developing the game also. Yes, they raised money, yes investors gave money. Nintendo owns 32% of Pokemon Co yes, but they also own 40% of Creatures, and 40% of Game Freak who own the rest of Pokemon Co shares. Then Nintendo owns part of Naintic. Nintendo has full control of Pokemon GO, its their IP. Anything with Pokemon in the name is owned by Nintendo.
Thats why Iwata (President of Nintendo) went to start development of the game.
@neowarrior793: Thats not quite how it works. Nintendo wanted to make Pokemon GO, so they asked Niantic how much to make a game. Then Nintendo paid them to develop the game. Now Nintendo pays them to upkeep the game. But all money goes to Nintendo. Nintendo pays others too, they worked out contracts before launch. Niantic isnt the publisher. Plus, Nintendo owns part of Niantic.
Also they co-developed the game with Nintendo, Im guessing Nintendo gave them content to help in development.
