I am not sure I understand your question ....
But, generally, you have three choices…
1 ) Load bunch pf prerotated images and display different image depending on some game specific criteria ( this is your basic 2d animation.)
2) Load a single image and , during setup, create bunch of prerotated images. The same as 1 except you only have to distribute a single image ( on the other hand prerotating images using 3rd party software will result in better quality.)
3) Load a single image and use GapiDraw rotating blit to rotate it in the real time.
So what you have here is basically a tradeoff between runtime performance and memory/disk space usage.

Take a look on the pocketpcStudio website in the developer section. I wrote a short tutorial on how to handle sprite rotations there. It may help you in what you're trying to achieve.
