"ok, just for your info i did NOT recolour the orignal or trace

Oh, really? Then this is an amazing coincidence:

We'll be happy to accept your art when you stop lying to us and start submitting your own work. "

im not lying! i did not recolour or trace thank you verry much, i used the sheet as a refrence. i did my best to get the pixels in the right place as the orignal BUT i did not trace over said orignal nor recolour it, i am a honist person and i did not trace, i did it pixel by pixel, the worst you could call me is a copyer. but i did not trace or recolour and i even have my progress pictures if you need proof but i did not recolour it!

What greenraven said. Whether you copy/pasted, traced, or eyeballed is irrelevant: you made a pixel-for-pixel duplicate of a copyrighted pokemon sprite and called it your own work. Imagine how you would feel if someone did this with something of yours.
