Transparency as in set through something like GIMP or Photoshop?
It was a cool thing in the 2000s but it totally screwed up certain sheets, the Sonic Advance series coming to mind. It's much better to set a color not standard to the game's palette to use for the transparency, and it's not hard to trigger that color to be the transparent one, rather than go through the effort to essentially make a sheet unusable if the sprite palette uses solid black.
