I wonder are pokeball drawings derivative work of nintendo stuff or not?
Since I've sen many on commons (there's one Nuvo!a pokeball that was created USING a red ball from the nuvola icon set, but that doesn't mean the pokeball is from the nuvola icon, as it seems to be thought by pokefans. Several other images are derivative from it
I've listed the ones I found at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Nuvo%21a_b... and also removed one created by geni upon him requesting it
Some of those (like the portal one) were created by users who at some point made fairuse-like tempaltes for commons (see {{pokémon}}) to justify their existence
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe those are GFDL-able, if it so, could someone cluebat me in the deletion request?
Greetings Pedro,
Well, if I read http://www.pokemon.com/termsofuse.asp correctly, the Pokeballs are The Pokémon Company or Pokémon USA, Inc. We cannot ask them about if we can modify or make our own balls since both companies reject any email regarding permission issues.

Zachary Harden
