Hey, fellow tempers.
For some project I was working on for a while I need some advice regarding visual content. I made a tool that can read and mod parts of certain Pokémon ROM files. For the user interface I basically made giant maps of the games in question using ingame images available on sites like Bulbapedia and Serebii as well as screenshots from within the games. Now before I release my work to the public I wanted to ask whether this might be considered C&D-worthy as much as, let's say, a full-fletched ROM hack would be. The sole purpose of the maps is to give users some orientation as to which values they alter. Basically they are mere backgrounds and you cannot do anything with them rather than look at them.
Does anybody know of projects that have been C&D'd for using those assets as visuals in their tools? Or would you say that this is more of a fair use case, especially if I stored the images as semi-blurry JPEG files and/or reduce colors/resolution to make it clear that I don't want to abuse my tool to share some ingame assets.
