Here, why not give this a shot?

It usually helps to add some white highlights to the inside of your tiles. Still keeps with the GB limitations but it miiiight interfere with your transparency. Not entirely sure how you have this all set up.
Ooo, cool!
Actually I already whipped something up before you posted this. Should of mentioned this.

But still, you done a
really phenomenal job and I'm glad people are so devoted into helping me. I truly appreciate it.
Adding highlights to the gossip stone makes it look flat and loses readability. When working with small tiles, you want to ensure that the basic forms are clear as possible, and every pixel counts. The placement of the highlights obscures the crucial details of the tile.
Oh no, mixed opinions!

What you say makes sense... so what about the Gossip Statue sprite itself? Is that maybe why people aren't sold on it yet?
Maybe if I remove the dark grey pixels on the top half of the sprite it would give more illusion the sun is on it?
