Summary

edit
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Bulbasaur
Description

Bulbasaur as depicted in promotional artwork for Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen.

Source

Promotional material distributed by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen. Sourced from Bulbagarden Archives.

Article

Bulbasaur

Portion used

Entire image, as it is being used to illustrate the appearance and features of the character as a whole. Therefore, a partial image would be inadequate for its stated purpose.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification, but of significantly inferior quality to the original that it would be unsuitable for use as artwork on pirate merchandise or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

For use in the infobox of the article dedicated to character, to show the character a recognizable form. The image forms a core part of both the article's identity and the commentary on the character, a function which cannot be performed with text alone.

Replaceable?

No, since it is an image of a character whose copyright is believed to belong to Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, no free alternative of similar quality could possibly exist.
