@Gelugon_baat: Do you know what an affiliate to a company is? Hal Laboratory and Intelligent Studios are affiliates too. This is all Nintendo's affiliates,

Creatures, DeNA, DigiPen, Game Studios, Game Freak, Genius Sonority, HAL Laboratory, Intelligent Systems, The Pokémon Company, and WarpStar.

@Gelugon_baat: Just keep looking, also look at Nintendo's wiki and it lists all the companies they own.

@Gelugon_baat: It use to be on the Game Freak wiki, but its all changed now. Youd have to dig deep to find out more and its also rumored that Nintendo owns much higher percentages now. If you look on Nintendo's wiki, youll see Game Freak is still listed as being owned by Nintendo, its just we have no new numbers.

Game Freak is like many of Nintendos companies, they act on their own like a separate company. Hal Laboratory for example. Its owned by Nintendo but acts completely independent.

@Gelugon_baat: I believe it is estimated that Nintendo owns 54-60% something percent of Gamefreak. Nintendo owns the majority of its shares. Nintendo owns Gamefreak. They also own majority of The Pokemon Company.

Pokemon consist of Game Freak (which is owned by Nintendo), Creatures (which is owned by Nintendo), The Pokemon Company (which is owned by Nintendo) and then Nintendo themselves.

So not only do they own a lot through Nintendo, but also through the other three companies since they own so much of them.

@joshrmeyer: Its limited for a reason mate. Even Sony is getting scared now. Im guessing thats the reason for the high price tag too.

I cant believe they are trying to sell it without required equipment to play it. Thank goodness not many will be buying it to be so let down though.

Thank you for your service Medalle, youve brought great things to this world that we will all continue to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Your spirit may have moved on, but your legend will never die.

@Gelugon_baat: Im not sure what yall are getting at, but Nintendo owns the rights to Pokemon. Nintendo owns majority of Game Freak and The Pokemon Company, along with owning themselves Nintendo. Nintendo owns something like 80% of them. Pokemon is 100% owned by Nintendo.

Cant wait for EVO, last year was awesome seeing Smash Wii U, will be fun to see them all.

@johnl: Do you mean $47? That would be the price preordering using Amazon Prime.
