    Please, oh please save as .png! .bmp/.jpg/whatever else makes it look terrible, it completly ruins the quality D=

    You need a lot of practice to be honest :/

    Charmeleon and Charizard have misplaced ears, same goes for Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle, the Pidgey and Spearow line, Raticate, Raichu and Ekans and Arbok.
    Wartortle's(sp?) tail is awfully misplaced Also.. you cut off Sandshew's butt :l
    ...Don't get me started on the Nidorina. Even you think it looks terrible so why didn't you just fix it?
    Oh and the Fearow is just a recolored Pokémon, it's not a fusion.

    You shouldn't just stick the ears and the tail on a Pokémon and recolor it. No.
    If you don't want to make your sprites look crappy you have to scratch some of the parts yourself.

    The recolored birds are okay, I guess. But recolors aren't something hard to do anyway.

    Now to the revamps...
    Well actually they aren't revamps, they're recolors!
    You recolored the sprites, not revamped.

    When you do revamps you have to change the shading so it looks like it's from the 4th gen. You didn't change the shading at all. Also, the outline is completly black.

    Take a look at one of the 4th gen's sprites;
    I'm taking Shinx for no apparent reason

    See the outline color? It's not black, you have to recolor the outlines as well. A lot of Black = baaad
    But don't make the whole outline wih the same color. Sorry, but I can't explain the outline coloring very well because I'm not so good at it either.

    Well, good luck at getting better, I hope the critics helped a bit.

    oh i can explain ^.^ as skitty said: A lot of black is bad. But you dont always need black try finding the base color of shinx (blue) with paint you can double click on it and make the color slightly darker then you can use it for your oulines, another option is to take the darkest shading of the sprite and use that for the outlines ;)
