Fair Use Rationale

Fair use for the article Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Covering both the license templates, this image, PokemonRubySapphireBox.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by U.S fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of the game covers;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the games in any way;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the games.
