I love pixel art, but it's fucking hard as hell.

You fucking learn. Pixel art is not a crutch, you treat it the same as any other kind of art. It's easier to get into but you're actually going to have to try and not make shitty 8x8 stickmen.

For all my games in the past I just got friends to do all the art. Soloing it this time.
It takes practice. Every time I draw a new sprite for my game I get better; every few months I redraw everything because I'm able to improve on it significantly.

There might be an equivalent somewhere, but nothing I'm aware of; sorry.

Practice. Start by editing sprites from other games. You learn how their style and colors work. Don't use them for your own game though.
I started out about 5 years ago making bad clones of Link's Awakening sprites, now I've made some money with my art. It takes time.

I don't get this mentality. Same thing with lowpolyfags. It's not a crutch, it's a fucking limitation. Pixelart isn't easier than drawing, you're literally giving yourself a smaller canvas and tools. Just fucking learn to do art in general and then specialize from there.
Just because it takes less place on the drive doesn't mean it was easier to make.

Keep cinematography in mind when you consider using references for your art.
and especially when you are working on the backgrounds.
Exagerating the focal depth makes your flat sprites more beleivable, it makes edges of platforms easier to notice, and it makes the room look less cramped while still showing the same amount of the level.
For a fighting game, or the battle screen of an rpg, using a normal view will make the player feel closer to the action, using a closer feeling view with a platform game, however, can make the world feel toy sized.
Think about it like your own one edge of a canyon, and your using binoculars to watch a guy on the other side of the canyon clime up to the top.

Whoever told you that either lied or spoke only for himself.

You just keep doing it until you like how it looks. Then you will know you have developed a style.
