Great piece! It reminds me of Digimon World 3 sprites, which is ironic because it's a Pokemon. The perspective is a little confusing though. When I first looked at it, it seemed isometric. But after a closer look I noticed he was just lifting up his leg. It still looks great though, and I like the colors you chose.
Thanks! The pose is a bit odd, but I was going for a kind of tae kwon style, I think.
