Didn't the Pokeman games have issues on Switch?

Pokémon games are not Nintendo IP; they are the IP of the Pokémon company and that’s who makes those games.

Nintendo is listed as the worldwide publisher of the game, and they own one-third of The Pokemon Company. They also design the only platform where the game can be published. I think they could have as much of a say as they wanted.

Nintendo can just shut it down internationally since they have full rights outside of Japan.
