Sketch and Color - Alakazam

I am not a huge Pokemon person, but I do like many of their designs. For the fun of it (and after discovering the 'creepypasta' Lost Silver and getting creeped out) I decided to sit down and work on Alakazam here; one of my personal favorites, but as well as giving it my own look.

My first attempt at drawing this Pokemon and overall I'm happy with the look. The posing bugs me but overall the look is decent.

Not really sure on the shading though, I wanted to keep it simple here, but there is something about it that bugs me.
