The Pokémon Company is a joint venture between Nintendo, GameFreak and Creatures Inc. Control of TPC is what people mean when they say Nintendo/GameFreak "own" 30%.

The story behind the trio is an interesting read, and IIRC Creatures is like wholly owned by Nintendo anyway so they technically have majority control of TPC.
