First of all, thanks to everyone who commented.
Hmmm... the jaggies being things like the edges of Ash's jacket, the collar of his shirt, and of course most of his pants? I'll try to AA the first two a little bit, and maybe increase the thickness of my outline for the pants. I'll increase the difference between the colours of Pikachu himself, Ash's Skin tone, Ash's Jacket colour, the Dark Green of Ash's Gloves, and the Red of Ash's Hat.
As for Ash's neck, I had tried a couple of things to put it in there, but he just kept looking like a giraffe :/ I'll give it another go though ^^
As for the Pikachu, thanks. It's probably my favourite part of this image too ^^
Haha, yeah it's from a pretty crap sketch I did as a kid, only found it the other night and though "Hmmm... this has potential." It was only a black and white outline and was poorly done. All that was really taken was the shape of everything; How Ash is standing, etc.
Yeah, I plan of fixing the contrast. As for layers of shading, do you mean adding another tone of whatever colour perhaps between the current two?
Ahh, sorry about that, just usually used to anything over 200 pixels high having to be put in spoilers. I'll edit them out.
Yeah I plan on fixing the contrast in a few areas (I said it at the top if you haven't already read it
). And yeah, his legs are really straight, I couldn't really find a way around it without looking like his legs were made of spaghetti. I'll try to use a different outline width like you said to perhaps add some depth to it. The knee shouldn't be too hard to fix, I'll shift it upwards a little.
The coloured inlines are just something that I've picked up, an absolute hate for using complete black on anywhere but the outline of an image. I'll change it though if it's too much of a distraction.
As for the variable outline width, any other places you think need that, other than his already mentioned legs?

and ash is missing his neck,
but the pikachu I love increase the contrast between the base colour and the shading and it'd be damn near perfect.

(Ditto what Bombshell said about Ash's neck, as well.)

The contrast needs to be increased and his legs are really straight. The knee appears to be too low, too. I think the black outline but coloured inlines look weird. You could also try working with variable outline wides instead of having pure 1px lines everywhere.
