Pokémon Designing

[Dazzle-Diva]

I am very interested in creating a line of musical-themed items decorated with my favorite Pokémon! But there's something that's been bothering me: Before I do that, I need to know if there are any legal actions I need to perform first.

My plan is to use PNG images of the Pokémon I found on Bulbapedia and add them to Canva to finish the design with musical symbols.

@Dazzle-Diva You can't use any IP that belongs to anyone else and all Pokemon belong to Nintendo so it's a no go

There is at least one other POD platform that fan art is allowed on. Not sure if I'm allowed to say but that might be more up your alley for what you're trying to do. Can't do it at Zazzle, even if you make a pokemon product and it didn't get deleted, as soon as someone orders it, it would be cancelled and deleted due to IP infringement.

The used to be a "fan merch" and "fan made" program on Zazzle, but I think it may be defunct...  Even if it weren't, I find no evidence that Nintendo is a partner and has no official presence on Zazzle, so using their intellectual property would be a no go anyway.
