Actually, pixel art should be smoother than normal spriting, because it is larger and has more room to add details. No one said this wasn't accepted, but people are saying there are ways to improve it. Its fine if this is your style, but these are merely suggestions to make the art look better. And there's no arguement about these being better than some other pixel arts on the site. There have been topics about th e quality standard of the pixelarts and man have been removed. Many more need to be removed, but just have not been yet. And CeeY's comment could help, if you would listen to constructive criticism. He said it lacked depth, meaning as it is, it is too simple-looking. To fix them, you could add depth to make it look better, thus improving your art.
Also, upon closer inspection, I noticed some problems with the art itself. One of Jirachi's arms looks like it has no shading at all. Umbreon should have nose and mouth. Drapion looks like it has different lightsources coming from both sides inwards on its arms.
