I always find it funny how Nintendo is the top publisher followed by The Pokemon Company. It's like a guy accepting his gold medal and then putting on a mask to accept the silver as well.

Technically speaking, Nintendo only controls 1/3 of The Pokémon Company (plus whatever undisclosed percentage Nintendo has of Creatures). TPC mostly operates independently, especially in Japan.
