[edit] Fair use rationale for Super Smash Bros. Melee

I, Mr. Lefty, believe that this image qualifies under fair use for the following reasons:

There is no public domain/GFDL alternative available.
It is used solely to illustrate the subject in question.
It is low resolution.
It does not in any way infringe upon the copyright holder's ability to sell their product.

This image is from the Pokémon series of cartoons, video games, or other media, and the copyright for it is owned by Pokémon USA, Inc., and all trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress present in the image are proprietary to Pokémon USA, Inc. and are not affiliated with Wikipedia. The use of a small number of low-resolution Pokémon images

to illustrate articles about the subjects of the images in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

is believed to fall under the fair use clause of United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
