It's easy...
Follow these steps:
1. Open your Snivy sprite in Paint
2. Fill the background with any color that doesn't match with sprite color (I think Snivy doesn't have red so you can use red)
3. Save your sprite as PNG file (I recommend Snivy.png)
4. Download IrfanView
5. Open your Snivy.png in IrfanView
6. Click Image->Decrease Color Depth...
7. Choose 16 Colors (4 BPP) and click OK
8. Click Image->Palette->Edit palette...
9. Swap the first color with the background color (so if you have first green and second red, then make the first color red and the second green)
10. Your sprite looks now strange but it's OK
11. Save your image as (I recommend) Snivy_indexed.png
12. Open your Snivy.png in Paint
13. Choose "Select all" and then "copy"
14. Then open Snivy_indexed.png in Paint
15. Now paste the previously copied sprite (Snivy.png) and then save
16. Congratulations! You have indexed a sprite!
Sorry for my english... :)
