Considering how huge BnG is, you'd probably face some problems.

What if I can't find the needed sprites?

Sorry for the spam, but it won't let me edit,

If we can't E-mail the person, asking for permission to use sprites, can I just leave credit?

^^ Look for some ROMs. Hopefully you know which game you're looking for. If that doesn't work, then search harder. Do you know how long it took me to find Acro sprites? The point is I found 'em.

^ There's a fine difference between "please give credit" and "please ask permission". If the artist simply asks for credit, then gopher it. Just make damn sure you credit him/her like he/she asked. As for asking permission, that does not mean the same as just giving credit. You'd better email the author as asked.

It's worth noting that LVK and I frequent a lot of spriting sites. If we see stolen sprites in your topic, count on it being locked.

I just relized how many spelling mistakes I made last year. Oh, woe is me!

Um, just because I make my own sprites from scratch doesn't necessarily mean that I have too much time on my hands. I have a gruelling job (employed 4 months so far), I pay for groceries, I have to budget my expenses for the week, finish household chores, and helping my siblings with homework just to name a few of the many things that I have to do. The trick is to schedule everything that you hae to do and make some room for some quality "ME TIME". Me? I use it to draw and make sprites! (As though no one could guess...)

Without absolutes, there is chaos...

Ironic, given the majority of game rips here.
