All Pokémon characters are owned wholly by Nintendo. Game Freak makes the game, but they don't own the property. Nintendo owns the IP. They allow Game Freak to make the games at their own pace and decide what games to make, etcetera (except when they hand the IP over to others for spinoffs, like Gale of Darkness or Conquest). But Nintendo actually owns the IP.

You should have at least gone through the cast of Smash Bros. when making the list. Because they're all Nintendo owned except for the specific third party characters (Snake, Sonic, Megaman, and Pacman), and that's STILL just scratching the surface of the Nintendo characters out there.

But, oh well. I took it more as a "favorite Mario character" poll anyway.
