>>44495355soul is a word only understood by old fans and boomers.
zoomers can't understand the strong meaning behind such a word because they grew up into a world full of passionless, cash grab, bland, and boring games.
handdrawn art like sprites and pixel backgrounds tells you how much the artists back then cared and how devs were passionate about their games.
now you have shit like X/Y and SWSH that lack any kind of passion and they were only made to promote selling plushies
