Work in progress of Arlo. Does anyone have advice on how to improve the design before I start fixing the colours/lines and shading?

I look at different reference images, set the canvas to a small size (no, I didn't count pixels, I searched up the sprites and checked their sizes), look at different reference images again, and try to replicate their styles.

Yes. It's not tiny as I draw, though, because I can zoom in. I also use a digital brush and eraser that's only pixels and set it to the smallest size.

I'm finally done with drawing Arlo (though, if anyone has an idea on how to improve this, I can try)!
Now onto the background. I don't really know where to start with drawing that, but I'll try my best to learn how to draw gen 4-5 battle backgrounds.

So I was going to start drawing the background and had to look at the actual games instead of sprites to see where the sprites go, and I noticed I stupidly forgot to check reference images from the actual game until now and just realised that the player and opponent sprite don't appear at the same time. I shouldn't have used sprites alone as reference when I was working on a whole screen. Hours wasted, but I guess there's a good side to this as I learnt how to draw Pokémon pixel art.

The challenge now is figuring out how to add the "You are challenged by _____" dialogue and the Poké Balls on the top left.
