>>48067116Honestly? Yeah.
Some of the older games absolutely had flaws, but they at least had heart put into them, albeit looking past some of them can be very difficult. That aside, it's very clear by playing games like Emerald and Platinum that they had a lot of passion, but were gimped by schedules, overall skill level (needing a third version to fit it all in), or simply by the hardware (internal battery.) You can admire them for the fact that GameFreak had ambition and chased it where they've long since stopped the further down the list of games you go. So, yea. Old games have SOUL.
