Not one good thing eh, are they really that bad?
The gengar didn't seem that off to me, but yeah it needs a lot of polishing. Also some things like transitioning its "horn" sooner at the top, is hard as the frame size from the GBC game, and the actual card frames don't have the same dimensions, so I'm afraid of squishing his shape.
You must also understand I'm trying to go with a limited palette, so with Jolteon, having both Togepi and Ratata in the picture, made me have to limit the background to something simple. Also I do get what you mean with the overall color and I'll see if I can find something a bit darker, but again I have a small palette available, and I'm trying as best I can to make my palette small so it fits with the style. And the outline is on most of the cards in the GBC so yeah a style thing.
I'm confused what to do with the roundness, the general spikes on its back I can't do much more spikier without clashing the outlines too much, and since it's supposed to be a light jolteon it might suit it better anyway.
And Virtuaboy, the shines on gengar's eyes and the twinkle were both attempted, but because the highlights I had to work with was red and white, it really didn't come out as a shine and stood out way more than intended, so I dropped it to keep it a bit more simplified. Which is the name of the game here in my opinion. Also I don't quite understand what you are trying to show with that example..
