If you're just looking for positive feedback, you can drown in that in places as dysfunctional as deviantart. The criticisms you are receiving here are making you a better artist, please don't get discouraged just because it doesn't seem like anyone is liking it. What you've done so far has been very good, but there is always room for improvement.
The key is patience, if this is something you are passionate about, it is more important that you make the project have the strongest presentation that you can make it than to just crank out pieces as fast as you can but never build yourself up as an artist. This project is one step of your work as a pixel artist and you've got a good base going. You are attempting a large project with some pretty heavy restrictions (GBC is not the easiest platform to design for) and it isn't going to go off without a hitch.
If you really are feeling like this project is stagnating, fine. Just make sure you don't let this discourage you as an artist. Try another project you can start with as much intensity, and when you receive criticism here, appreciate that we are trying to help you and try to patiently listen to critique and learn to self-evaluate because it is really the only way to improve. I honestly hope you keep this up, I really enjoy seeing your updates.
That's about all I had to say but I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
