it just pops out how much of the animation is hand made and how much is an edit/recolor of the original. you failed to blend these two, and the result is a leaf that even when its suposed to be rigid but instead moves randomly without following the flow of the main character
note: rigid leafs arent made of rigid materials, they arent even rigid. the stiffness(:V) of a leaf is given by its structure. smaller leafs stay in place so their top will always be facing the sun, but they will always bend if some presure is made. larger leafs wll not bled that easily since they are either longer, thicker, or both. but they will evetually bend too due their weight.
even more, if you consider that chikorita would be the equivalent to a sprout, his/her leaf would be a really flexible and soft. specially when that leaft is meant to act as hair, for the purpose of enhacing the appeal of her movements.
