The information I got about palletes is only this: It deletes the "white block" around your character. I don't know if that's what palletes really are for
but I don't have any issues with "White blocks" around the character sprites I make. I tried EVERY program that isolates sprites. Not once have I got this "White block" around the character. So what Really does Palletes do?
Aren't wolves cute?

This "White Block" is probably very specific to the person's character who gave this information to you. It's the background color. Your sprite is a rectangle obviously, so that's where the "block" comes from and the "white" is referring to the background color.

Palettes are tables of up to 256 colors that contain a map of all of the colors that your sprite uses. Indexed color is essentially ordered colors. You've heard the term "color 0" before I'm sure. Color 0 implies that it's the first color in your palette. Color 0 is used to make allow transparency in an opaque image. Since palettes define where colors are on your sprites via indexing, changing the colors of a sprite is made possible, hence the reason why they're necessary.

Simply put: Without a palette you won't be able to have a transparent background color in your character sprites and you won't be able to have multiple colors for your character.
