virgin australia was launched as virgin blue in august 2000 , with two boeing 737 - 400 aircraft . initially offering seven return flights a day between brisbane and sydney . the timing of virgin blue ' s entry into the australian market was fortunate as it was able to fill the vacuum created by the failure of ansett australia in september 2001 . ansett ' s failure allowed virgin to grow rapidly to become australia ' s second domestic carrier .
but there was a problem . ansett was a basket - case with an absurdly diversified fleet and industrial chaos - but a large workforce . the keating ( labor ) government in australia was already in deep electoral trouble , and did not want ansett exposed .
during this process ansett australia expanded internationally to the south asia region . destinations added to the network at this time included hong kong , bali , and shanghai . at the turn of the century air new zealand took full control of ansett from news corp . at the same time of this takeover australia relaxed its rules on the aviation industry , allowing qantas and carriers from overseas to expand in australia and compete with ansett . this combined with maintenance problems with their boeing 767 fleet , an aging fleet overall , and overpaid staff meant ansett was left limping . the airline was losing an estimated a $ 1 . 3 million per day . air new zealand attempted to cut costs at ansett while trying to maintain service . this proved futile as ansett’s financial position quickly deteriorated .
as well as the mainline there were subsidary companies in nsw ( ansett airlines of new south wales ) , south australia ( ansett airlines of south australia ) and western australia ( macrobertson miller airlines ( mma ) ) . early on there was a queensland airlines , but that was folded into the mainline in the 1960s . these companies all operated fokker f27 aircraft , mma on some very long routes and also had some viscounts . as well aof
ansett’s collapse is the starting point to weave the narrative of where australia ' s airlines have been , where they stand today and why the contentions currently underlying the carriers exist .
the ansett australia sport development program had provided country sports groups with travel worth $ 300 , 000 over the last six years , sport and recreation minister norman moore said today .
mr moore said the state government ' s determination to give all western australians the chance to enjoy sport and recreation would have been much harder without ansett australia ' s backing .
in 1987 the airline expanded across the tasman sea to new zealand with its new brand , ansett new zealand . the airline started with 3 boeing 737 - 100 flying between auckland , wellington , and christchurch . air new zealand attempted to reciprocate this partnership by attempting to purchase shares in qantas when the airline was floated in 1995 . however , the government of australia blocked this , and air new zealand instead bought a 50 % share in 1996 while letting news corp remain in control . anti - monopoly rules meant that ansett australia and ansett new zealand had to separate . this resulted in ansett australia being in the hands of of air new zealand and ansett new zealand being managed by news corp .

although ansett ended after much chaos , the airline was a major contributor to the aviation scene in australia in the 1900’s . they provided competition to taa and their successor qantas , which helped to keep fares low . the sudden demise came as a shock to many , but numerous bad financial decisions and the lack of government backing meant that ansett was doomed since reg ansett left the airline .
this year both qantas and virgin australia have invoked ansett’s legacy as part of their respective strategic plans . for virgin australia , the reference was in bringing competition back to all sectors of air transport . “we have a significant cost advantage on qantas who hold a near monopoly position in the business market and have done so since the demise of ansett , ” ceo john borghetti said in apr - 2011 .

the only other airline we had - the former ansett / qantas new zealand - was shut down in april . probably most australians blaming air new zealand for ansett ' s demise have no idea just how much more new zealand has been damaged by this trans - tasman aviation relationship than has australia .
action by ansett and the civil aviation safety authority ( casa ) addressed the potential risks to fare - paying passengers . although ansett was subsequently placed into voluntary administration in september 2001 , the atsb continued a detailed systemic investigation because of the importance of the issues involved , both in australia and internationally .

ape / creatures has developed or has contributed to the development of the following games .
4kids previously held a stake of 3 % in the pokemon company , with nintendo , creatures and game freak holding 32 , 32 , and 33 % respectively .
creatures was founded originally as a successor company to ape inc , the development company most notably responsible for earthbound . creatures staff aided in the development of the main series pokémon games , and the studio itself has developed titles such as the pokepark series for the wii , the pokémon ranger ds series and the pokédex 3d app for 3ds .
ht : so game freak and creatures are the developers , and nintendo is the publisher . the pokémon company is like the producer , they’re the agency of the franchise .
1up : moving on , i’d like to talk a little bit about creatures . were you one of the founders of the company , or did you come into creatures later , after it had been around a little while ? i know it’s about 15 years old now…
originally named
the pokémon center company
and founded in 1998 , the pokémon company was established through joint investment by the three businesses holding the copyright on pokémon : nintendo co . , ltd . , creatures inc . , and game freak inc .
in relation to the other companies , nintendo owns a 32 % share in the pokémon company , and a small ( not financially significant for nintendo ) stake in creatures inc .
so as it stands nintendo own 33 % creatures inc own 33 % game freak own 34 % the pokemon company is a joint venture that likely has a board built of members of each company that decide each and every fate of pokemon . pretty simple .
as of november 2015 , 84 people work at the company . [ 1 ]

the company developed a laser clay shooting system which rivaled bowling as a major pastime in japan .
ht : originally , game freak was making the games and creatures was the production company . creatures were the people talking to nintendo about stuff . because they were playing different roles , that’s probably why they were different companies . the pokémon company is in charge of bringing the franchise to the movies and anime and stuff like that . nintendo isn’t related to that part at all . that’s why it’s so complicated and there’s so many companies involved .
after mother 2 was completed , ape went into hibernation . in 1995 , tsunekazu ishihara founded creatures with members from ape .
millions of these big - eared creatures were sold during their first three years and , somehow , they are still around .
it is centered on fictional creatures called
pokémon
, which humans capture and train to fight each other for sport .
ht : the mainstream games are created by game freak , and then creatures creates the card games , mainly . but the games that game freak doesn’t create , creatures often works on . the 3d modeling for pokémon is all created within creatures , too . the 3d modelings will be used in the card games , in the actual games , in commercials , everything else .
pokemon was a dream project for game freak founder satoshi tajiri , and even with nintendo’s assistance as a publisher , the developer had apparently bitten off more than they could chew with the ambitious title . this is where creatures , inc . enters the picture . creatures was a company that grew out of the remains of ape , inc . , the developer of earthbound beginnings and earthbound . earthbound had had a particularly troubled development , and ape’s head , japanese writer shigesato itoi , wasn’t sure if he was going to make another game or not . thus , ape was dismantled and reformed as creatures . the staff of the company was largely made up of ex - nintendo employees , and nintendo themselves invested in the developer . the original head of creatures , inc . , tsunekazu ishihara , has run the pokemon company since its inception . recently , it was made known that nintendo’s current holdings in the company amount to 10 % .
creatures , inc . was established on november 8 , 1995 under ceo tsunekazu ishihara and former staff from ape . [ 5 ]
- nintendo has a stake in creatures inc . ; however , nintendo decided to not disclose the ownership ratio ( please understand )
that ' s an understatement . creatures was apparently formed from staff of ape inc . , known better for mother / earthbound .
1up : can you explain how the pokémon ownership situation works ? i’ve asked people at nintendo of america and they can’t really explain it to me . i know there’s creatures , there’s game freak , there’s nintendo , there’s the pokémon company , but i don’t know exactly which company does what and who plays what role . it’s all very confusing…

creatures does a lot of the non - core rpg stuff but this might be the most complicated thing of the whole shebang , what the difference between creatures and game freak is . pre - pokemon they were very clearly different entities but that ' s not so much the case now .
for pure speculation if the big n owns over 50 % of the creatures company , then they would virtually own 66 % of pokemon . which , given the fact that there seems to be a smokescreen in place to uncover this information , is probably the case .

but wait , what about the pokemon company ? they own the pokemon ip and are in turn owned in near - equal shares by nintendo and two other companies , right ? so that means nintendo’s slice is 33 % and if creatures and game freak ( the other co - owners of the pokemon company ) decide to take their ball and go to playstation , there’s nothing nintendo can do about it , right ? the pokemon company is probably the most confusing point of the whole arrangement , and it’s easily the source of most misconceptions about the ownership of the pokemon franchise .
the switch “inherited all of nintendo’s entertainment dna” across the company’s broad line of products , said shinya takahashi , nintendo’s head of software development .

tonaka quit composing for nintendo so he could work on the pokemon anime with creatures . apparently he joined as a guest to compose the first japanese opening theme , nintendo forbid him from doing anymore work with a seperate company ( even though it was for one of their ips ) , and left them to keep composing the openings for the anime . did nintendo always have a stake in creatures , or is it a recent thing ?

the game boy advance system is a nintendo design , created in its r & d department in osaka , japan . arm corporation is the company responsible for the 32 - bit risc cpu in the game boy advance . arm corporation is a uk - based company responsible for cpus used in cellular phones . konami has also entered a joint agreement with nintendo , and will create a company called mobile 21 . this studio will be responsible for the software that will interface with the 128 - bit gamecube system .
thus , the fact that nintendo , game freak , and creatures have near - equal shares in the pokemon company actually doesn’t tell us a thing about who really owns the pokemon franchise and in what proportions . it’s the ultimate red herring in this discussion . to try to tease out the real answer , we have to go back to the early 1990s , when the first game was in development . it should be noted that the answer of who owns it is definitely known . just go check the copyrights on every pokemon product and you’ll see the three companies who share the ip : nintendo , game freak , and creatures . but as for the size of each company’s ownership , we’ll have to do some spit - balling . you ready , friends ?
as the header implies , i would like to discuss the ownership of the pokemon brand / franchise due to various misinformation spread in the media and various users . i hope the below will help explain the complicated relationship between pokemon , nintendo , creatures inc . , game freak and the pokemon company . what a mouthful , ready ? let ' s catch all the answers together !
