What this is
Whether The Pokémon Company’s October 2015 Niantic release mentions its US arm, The Pokémon Company International: it does not.
How it’s built
- Read the release page on The Pokémon Company’s corporate website; its copyright lines name Pokémon, Nintendo, Creatures, Game Freak and Niantic only.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Silence is not proof: Niantic’s release names the US arm as a co-investor.
Where it comes from
The line in the source
