Yes. I have previously made a simple Chrome extension that contained Pokemon stuff, but certainly derivative work that should not be considered copyright infringement. (The extension replaced facebook reactions with Pokemon faces, if you're wondering).

I got DMCA'd by Nintendo anyways. I didn't bother fighting it, since it wasn't worth my time for a one-day project. Nintendo of America has overzealous paralegals that WILL go DMCA anything pokemon related.

If you mean images of Pokémon, those would be copyrighted.

Still ridiculous, but consistent with copyright law, and not an obvious case for fair use either.
