Did I just walk into a god damn soap opera? "He isn't the original spriter...I AM!" *suspenseful music* All joking aside...why didn't you just post it yourself? Also I wouldn't honestly use video games to justify pillow shading, next thing you know people are gonna say "but the pokemon red and blue sprites look distorted and that official so it has to be correct!" Which honestly isn't true, energy I will say is better off pillow shaded, however spike balls on a chain I have always thought looked ugly, turns out years later I learned it was because of pillow shading, thought I can understand why pillowshading was used, a constant fast moving object most likely would have a constant change of light direction which would need more coding, easier to use pillowshading as an illusion for movement. But that doesn't mean it is right. Would go more in depth but I am seriously tired.
