Sure, style isn't an excuse for shoddy work, but not everything you make needs to be inline with how Nintendo draws them. That's like complaining about how I draw Sonic simply because it's not how Sega draws him.Keep in mind that it's important to represent a character's design traits properly in the process. You don't necessarily have to draw a character exactly the same way, but be sure you're not losing important qualities doing so.
With that said, I don't think E-Man's recent characters are straying too far from the original designs myself, so the above is more so something to consider.
