In fact, you're making the same mistake investors did: Believing Nintendo made a foray into smartphone games. Nintendo did not make Pokémon Go, nor is it receiving much profit from it. Niantic, Google, and Apple are all getting the lion's share of the profit, Pokémon Company gets a bit of it too, but then Nintendo only gets a fraction of that.

I may be incorrect, but Pokemon Go was released with Nintendo's approval; meaning they've dipped a toe into smartphone games.
