-Usual "The Pokemon Company and Nintendo are two completely independent entitys in this regard" comment goes here.

So Nintendo are making nothing from Pokémon Go? I thought -- from reading in various places -- the project was a collaboration between Niantic, Google, and TPC; and that the latter had Nintendo as the major shareholder (minor shareholder + using a shell company that they're major shareholder of)?

Am I completely mistaken?

If Nintendo is a big shareholder in The Pokémon Company, then they aren't completely independent now, are they?
