It's been a while since I've done a sprite critique so bear with me. Might mess up here and there but oh well.

For the Raichu/Bulbasaur recolor, the one on the far right looks the most off to me. You have a lot of pillow shading going on with the lighter colors bordering the outlines in the shaded part of the sprite. It looks a bit messy/noisy, and you can fix it by cleaning up that area. I am not sure if you were going for an overshade here, but a lot of the lighter colors are really close together in shade (there's a slight difference) and barely noticeable. You're probably better off going for a solid single-color in the lighter area. Another small thing is that you have a darker color between a lighter colored region and a darker colored region on the bulb, which has the effect of making it pop and stand out. However, the transition isn't very smooth so you could erase that part and go over that with the darker color bordering that lighter region.

Sorry if that was confusing, I can try clarifying and fixing the sprite myself if that helps.

Also, your Torchic line sprites seem to be blurry. If you're using Photoshop to resize it, change your interpolation to Nearest Neighbor so you don't get blurriness/distortion. Might have to repixel over the sprite to make it cleaner.

Edit; never mind on the Torchic, I didn't see the full-size version for some reason.
