Pokémon is not made by Nintendo.

You're not right enough to have a point. The games are published by Nintendo along with game freak and Pokemon co.

There’s a multiple additional arguments why Nintendo behaves the way they do in regards to trademark and copyright but mixing in Pokémon Company and GameFreak just detracts from the conversation. Those two companies have vastly different game design philosophies and while Pokémon is intrinsically linked with Nintendo hardware, those games are not Nintendo games.

The argument from people hating on Nintendo is usually self contradictory. Nobody could be so hung up on Nintendo if they didn’t like their games. I don’t like sports games so I ignore them rather than trying to torrent latest game of football.
