Gameboy Style to GBA Style

I thought it looked a bit cool, Im using it in my next sprite sig but I thought that the gameboy style just wouldn't go, so I made it look like the GBA style, plus I added a cool little effect for a good fire on his tail with a little blurs:

To:

kool nice colors, kool effect that u kinda took the blurryness away... keep it up...

What I hate about when you fiddle with sprites (blurring, sizes, etc.) is that on the side it mostly tends to go as if its on the end of a canvas, makes it look weird (as into his tail)
