Hello, I would like some feedback on this so far.

As far as I remember, you have to activate "Poppy Bright" to get the real colours for this emulator (not sure if this is still a thing or if newer versions of VBA ironed it out).

Btw, animations usually go frame-by-frame, but sometimes, several layers of animation play at the same time which leads to an unholy amount of combinations and frames.
This is where I would recommend tile-ripping:
