A couple sprites (Edits)

[bnewton]

the main part about the kirlia sprite that's bothering me is that the legs are shaded like they are supposed to be flaps in wings or something, and, as Alcala said, you might want to consider using a ref, although the tentacles are rather good if you didn't use the magnifying glass in paint.
Also another thing in the Kirlia trainer sprite that needs fixing, is as I said before, the grey outlines make it look weird, but I guess you should look at the outlines of pokemon sprites and then you'll see that the outlines are not completely in black or the secondary outline color.
