How it’s built
- Serkan Toto, a Japan games consultant, relayed it from a June 2017 note by the broker CLSA.
- An unsourced TouchArcade article had used the same 10% a year earlier, without making clear which company it meant.
What we assumed
- The 10% refers to Creatures, not The Pokémon Company.CLSA's note says Creatures. But the earlier article was ambiguous, so the figure may be a mix-up.
Sanity check
No Nintendo filing reached names a stake in Creatures. Bought at founding, 10% would have cost at most ¥9m, too small to show in Nintendo's accounts either way.
