TOKYO (Reuters) - Shares in Nintendo Co tumbled as much as 18 percent on Monday after the company said Pokemon GO would have a limited impact on its earnings - their biggest setback so far after a huge run-up on the smash-hit game. 
 
 The Kyoto-based gaming company, which is due to report first-quarter results this week, surprised markets with a statement on Friday that income garnered through its 32 percent stake in affiliate Pokemon Company, which owns the licensing rights, would be limited and that it did not plan to revise its earnings outlook for now.

 Recording its biggest decline since October 1990, the stock ended down 17.7 percent, or by 5,000 yen - the daily limit allowed. 
 
 But some market players said Nintendo was being disingenuous, adding that there were few expectations of upward revisions to its profit targets so early after the game’s launch and that it was clear the game would be key to earnings. 
 
 “The market has overreacted to the Nintendo statement,” said David Gibson, a senior analyst at Macquarie Securities Group, noting the game in Japan had broken records with 10 million downloads in one day. 
 
 “I believe that Pokemon GO will be material in the company’s earnings given the current trends for the game.”

 Pokemon GO’s success has triggered massive buying in Nintendo shares and even with Monday’s decline, the shares are still up some 60 percent compared with levels prior to the game’s July 6 launch in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, adding nearly $12 billion in market value. 
 
 Yasuo Sakuma, portfolio manager at Bayview Asset Management, said he still saw the company’s shares as cheap given the potential for Nintendo to reap rewards from other strong character franchises as it forays deeper into mobile gaming. 
 
 “Nintendo is well-placed to boost its earnings with its other characters, such as Super Mario and Zelda and their potential is unknown,” he said. 
 
 Pokemon GO is Nintendo’s first venture into mobile gaming as the company had until recently been keen to protect its console business from cannibalization. 
 
 In addition to its stake in Pokemon Company, Nintendo has an undisclosed holding in Niantic Inc - the game’s developer, which was spun off from Google.

 It is also expected to benefit from sales of Pokemon GO Plus - an accessory that alerts players to nearby Pokemon so that they don’t have to always be looking at their smartphones. Nintendo said, however, that sales of the device have already been factored into its earnings outlook. 
 
 Nintendo, which reports earnings on Wednesday, has forecast a 37 percent rise in operating profit to 45 billion yen ($425 million) in the year to March. While it is expected to see upside from Pokemon GO it will also have to contend with a strong yen which eats into the value of earnings garnered abroad. 
 
 Seven analysts’ estimates that have been revised since the game’s launch range from 36 billion yen to 60 billion yen. 
 
 ($1 = 106.2400 yen) 

 The story of Nintendo's surging share price this July has been a real stock market fairy tale — the company's value more than doubled after the global success of Pokémon Go, even though the game is made by a different company, the San Francisco-based Niantic. 
 
 Surely Nintendo, the publisher of the original Pokémon games on Game Boy, must feel some benefit of the new game's success? 
 
 Well, not really. In a statement [PDF link in Japanese] Friday, Nintendo said the impact of Pokémon Go on its finances will be "limited," explaining that it only owns 32 percent of the Pokémon Company, which owns the intellectual property rights for the Pokémon franchise. 
 
 Furthermore, even though Nintendo plans to start selling a game-related peripheral under the name Pokémon Go Plus, the financial impact from that operation has already been factored into the company's previously announced earnings forecast. 
 
 None of this is really new, but it appears to be news to investors, which initiated a frantic selling session Monday, with Nintendo's stock price falling 18 percent (the maximum a stock can drop in one day on the Tokyo stock exchange), wiping some $6.7 billion in market value. 
 
 Nintendo's stock price is 65 percent higher than it was prior to the Pokémon Go launch. 
 
 Despite the correction, things aren't looking too bad for Nintendo. The company's stock price is some 65 percent higher than it was prior to the Pokémon Go launch on July 6, and its quarterly earnings, which will be announced this Wednesday, are forecasted to be significantly better than last year according to Bloomberg. 
 
 The game is expected to launch a couple of mobile games of its own, and a new console called the Nintendo NX is about to be launched in March 2017. 
 
 As for Pokémon Go, following a successful launch in Japan last week, the game has just been launched in Hong Kong. Obvious next stop is the enormous market of China, but a launch there may never happen as the game needs access to GPS data which is restricted in the country.

 Jigglypuff (Japanese: プリン Purin) is a dual-type Normal/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Normal-type Pokémon. 
 
 It evolves from Igglybuff when leveled up with high friendship and evolves into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone. 
 
 Biology 
 
 Jigglypuff is a round, pink ball with pointed ears and large, blue eyes. It has small, stubby arms and somewhat long feet. It has a curled tuft of fur on the top of its head. It is filled with air, as seen in Pokémon Stadium, when a defeated Jigglypuff deflates until it is flat. It is able to float by drawing extra air into its body, as demonstrated in Super Smash Bros. 
 
 Jigglypuff uses its eyes to mesmerize opponents. Once it achieves this, it will inflate its lungs and begin to sing a soothing lullaby. If the opponent resists falling asleep, Jigglypuff will endanger its own life by continuing to sing until it runs out of air. It is able to adjust the wavelength of its voice to match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep. This helps ensure drowsiness in its opponents. Jigglypuff can mostly be found in lush green plains and grassy meadows.

 Major appearances 
 
 Jigglypuff debuted in The Song of Jigglypuff. From this episode through the end of the original series, it followed Ash and his friends, intent on performing its trademark song without causing its audience to fall asleep. It rarely, if ever, succeeded. Jigglypuff would scribble all over the faces of anyone who fell asleep after hearing the song. 
 
 After Johto, Jigglypuff started to only appear very rarely, being featured in one early Advanced Generation series episode. After a long absence, Jigglypuff reappeared in Alola, Kanto! and When Regions Collide!, where it was seen sleeping on top of the plane that Ash and his classmates were flying on back to Alola, and has since made semi-regular appearances.

– With the smashing success of Pokemon Go, one would think Nintendo must be happier than a Jigglypuff. But in a statement Friday, the company says that even though its share price initially spiked, it's not going to reap great financial rewards from the game and that the impact on its bottom line will be "limited," Mashable reports. That's mainly because it doesn't actually make the game: Nintendo is the publisher of the original Pokemon games made for the Game Boy system, but a San Francisco-based company named Niantic developed the new augmented-reality game in conjunction with the Pokemon Company. And Nintendo only owns about a third of the Pokemon Company, which wields the intellectual rights to all things Pokemon, the Verge notes. Investors appeared to be spooked by this revelation, dumping stock Monday—shares fell nearly 18%, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's daily max—and leading to a $6.7 billion loss for Nintendo. But Nintendo's stock price is still at least 60% higher than it was before the game launched earlier this month, and some analysts believe Nintendo is being "disingenuous" about its Pokemon Go prospects, per Reuters. "The market has overreacted to the Nintendo statement," a senior analyst with Macquarie Securities Group says. "I believe that Pokemon Go will be material in the company's earnings given the current trends for the game." Nintendo also has plans to start selling a Pokemon Go Plus smartwatch peripheral, though the company says projected financials from that have already been factored into its forecast.
