Get sprites from this site

Question

Hi! i'm developing a website about pokemon and i was wondering if i could use the sprites from this site as links (eg. https://something/bulbasaur.png), they will be simple php requests only for mobile users so the traffic won't be as large and only for a limited amount of time until i manage to get mine, obviously i will credit this site for letting me use them :3

just use bulbapedia -_-

Or Veekun :P

Probably you can use the ones form the sprite gallery, but you should wait for someone to confirm

Some combination of PokeAPI and Veekun will almost certainly be a better result for everyone. If you’re serious about developing a site, you should definitely look to database these things yourself.

The sprites say they are free to use...

Why don't you download the sprites and upload them on your own site?

Answer 1

It's fine to use the images, but as stated on the sprite pages if you're hotlinking them you should link back to this site as well. However I'm not clear on what you mean by "simple php requests", surely you mean using HTML like an image tag? <img src="..."> etc.

As others suggested you can also add the images to your own site. We don't have bulk downloads here (so you'd have to get them one-by-one) but there are plenty of places to find downloads, like veekun.com. Hope that helps.
