They both look good, just a couple of notes to make it perfect:
1: Pokéballs tend to not show the button on trainer sprites (because they look weird with the pixel limit).
2: I tend to say things halfway through and expect people to read my mind for the rest. I want sky/light-blue for him not just plain blue (the original has dark colors and for my new one I wanted light colors).
3: I did not realize how funny his cape is, it looks good on the dark colored one but for the lighter one I think a cape that goes to the ground would look better.
But, all and all, they look really good.
