Here's a tip, to make them more real, you;
1. Study how real Pokemon look like
2. Since the light is coming from the top-left, make the outline on the bottom-right black
3. Try to add elements to animals, practically what Pokemon's about. [ex. fire + turtle = Flarappin (Terrapin + Flare)] That way, your Pokemon will look better, and not like a bunch of random things.

Hope this helps.
 
please get the basics right first the a tutorial and pritty much every pokemon has 2 colors yours only seem to have on there not that good but anyway good look

The fakemon's are a bit to rough.. You need to make them more "Smooth", and a bit more real.. The others on the other hands are very good, I love the re-colouring you did on the rotomizations, the retypes look good, but you need to work a bit on your fusions... There are three fusions that look okay there, but there are some that could be improved.. :)

These are the best fusion's:

Ok - are the latest fakemon any improvement?
 
I loooove to crit~

On your fakemon, you could do with some anatomy work overall. Your shading isn't bad, but it's not good either. could do with more outline shading and general practice. They're not that bad, it's just that they look a bit misshapen, and plain. The general thing is practice.
 
defently improving well done 07harris you will be a master in know time:)
 
thank you - i am gonna try and do a trainer now - (i want to achieve all aspects of the spriting way!)

UPDATE:
I know that i said i was gonna do a trainer but a freind came over and said he wants to see if I had the capabilities of spriting!

Torchenuis is a definite improvement over your other fakemon. Still, it doesn't quite look right anatomically.
As far as shading goes, this is better than before, but could be better still. Have you ever heard of checkerboarding? It's a technique used to help colors blend more smoothly into each other. Check it out in the stickied tutorial.
Overall, a very nice concept. The execution just needs a little bit more practice. 7/10

I have an update
my first trainer - i hate the shaping though :(

The shading isn't bad, but like you said it's the shaping...
Your shading is definitely better than before. The only thing to complain about is the bottom and right side of his shirt. The darker shading wouldn't go across in such a straight line, it would have a gentle curve up as it gets toward the edge of his shirt.
