Spriting!

[Gors]

First of all, you don't need to write in Courier. That will only make you look out of place. Use the perfectly fine, default font.

Second, your work. I am not sure how well those animations play. Did you use an animating program, such as graphicsgale, to test them out? The overall work isn't great either, because of the lack of the understanding of the original Pokémon style. The lineart is wobbly and full of jaggies principally on the bigger PAs, and the fact that they're traced doesn't make things better.

Also avoid using effects that are out of place. These fire/ice/hit effects is of little to no use and they don't go well with the character sprite at all.

I'll let others complement my c+c.
