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.
Regards,
Zachary Harden

Subject: [Commons-l] pokeballs anyone?
Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 16:14:55 -0600
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_…
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?
