I can't post images yet....
So i'll offer some tips on making your own Pokemon.
Pokemon don't have dithering(checkerboard of pixels, as soon as I can post images, i'll show an example) on them and a medium-high contrast.
Most lineart in pokemon is spot on, and the lines are almost perfectly proportioned.
I'm an amateur spriter, but I still can't make suitable pokemon sprites. So....you should be at LEAST somewhat experienced before you try it, otherwise you may be discouraged from doing pixel art forever.
I'm sorry if I seem like a know-it-all or if this post isn't allowed....
