Decided to try trimming the color palette a bit, and make sure all my colors are coming from the same source so there's no overly-similar colors between sprites. What do you guys think? The left side is the newer side.
I think a lot of my sprites could benefit from a palette trim, especially the Pikachu, which could easily use only three shades of yellow (I think there's, like, five on it right now). I might go back to four shades for the broader parts of the body, like Midi's tail and pants, but overall, I agree that fewer is better.
