So...whats wrong then? If it doesn't even have the common traits of a sprite, how is the criticism he gave bad?
because he didnt point out HOW TO FIX ANYTHING, he basically just said "it's bad, make it better" which is stupid.
anyway in terms of style the sprite is very off, the direction is wrong too, why is he facing completely to the side?
some of the lines are "too straight" in terms of being completely diagonal, if you study the pokemon sprites a little more they're more "round" study the outlines and you'll see it, such as using parts of the shades along with the black to smoothen out the line better and give off a better look of the sprite.
you also seem to suffer from pillowshading, a common mistake for many beginners, which is shading within along the lines of the sprite like you did with the tail, this is something you should NEVER do.
