How does someone go about selling a game or making a royalties deal with Nintendo(or Pokemon Company)?

It seems like Niantic did just that. If someone were to create their own game(Pokemon, hypothetically), how would they, if at all possible, sell that game to Nintendo or at least make a royalties deal? Or any other game, for that matter?
