[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Pikachu
Description	An SVG image of Pikachu, arguably the most recognisable Pokémon.
Source	Original CDR file taken from brandsoftheworld.com. Credits state "rodrigo martins (zóio)" as the author of this drawing. Converted to SVG and shrinked by Face.
Article	Pikachu
Portion used	All content of the original CDR file is used, but the size of the SVG has been decreased to better fit the article.
Low resolution?	SVG image with a nominal size of 207 × 190 pixels.
Purpose of use	Pokémon themed media offer various depictions of Pikachu, including those in the video games, the anime, trading cards, manga series, artwork, merchandise and several others. This image is used to illustrate the subject in a very casual and recognisable way, showing Pikachu in simple bright colors, standing in a normal posture, all parts clearly visible. It is used at the top of the article to give a general representation of the subject discussed.
Replaceable?	No free or public domain images have been located for this character.
