I've always taken full-size images and resized them using MS Paint (one of the few things it's good at.)

Unless you know how to make the background transparent, just use jpeg. Especially if it's colorful, as gif images can only display 256 colors.

Pfft, done right you can use 32-64 colors and make it a really small file.

Any way to resolve the fact that all my picture files are too damn big (in terms of KB)?

It's a long story.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Let me guess: it goes along the lines of "I was too lazy to find and resize a good avatar, so I just made a blue square and uploaded it."

A story as old as the hills. People were bugging me to get a avatar after two avatar-less years on the board. Originally I was going to try and take a screen shot of the default forum view and make a square of that color. Kind of an invisible avatar. But then I decided I'd rather use a color that I liked.
