Copyrighted game screenshot This is a screenshot of a copyrighted computer or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the companies responsible for developing and published the game, such as Game Freak, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) depicted on the screenshot in question qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to turn a profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Copyrights and fair use rationale. Some images not designed by the developers, such as glitch Pokémon sprites (not including intentionally designed placeholder sprites), may not be subject to copyright.
