Pokemon are all rather small and cluttered, and you've got some instances of pillowshading, especially here:
You could do with upping your brightness and contrast, and maybe cutting out a shade or two. Also, focus on the eyes and face; they're honestly the most important part of a Pokemon sprite, not even kidding! Look at how official sprites deal with the eyes and copy them, if need be.
Platformer sprites are cute, try not working on a white background and eliminate all black from the HUD if possible, it looks ugly. Same thing with regards to color choice.
