daubetm you mis-understand.
Ordinarily with a photo-based image if you want to change the resolution you are correct you should leave that box unchecked as you don't want photoshop to 'invent' pixels that aren't there (this would make your image more fuzzy). But when you're drawing single pixels you can't work at 300pdi since you'd be drawing millions of pixels.The nature of pixel art is to look low res, thus you have to create the images at low res (72 dpi). Then when the image is complete it will only be tiny and not large enough for print resolution (300dpi). Normally you can't increase the resolution artificially but because the pixel are is made up of little squares you can increase the resolution (using 'nearest neighbour) without compromising the sharpness of the image.
