>>53226728You don't know what the word "soulless" means, stop using buzzwords you saw on /v/ that you don't know the meaning of.
"Soulless" is supposed to refer to when a creator makes something solely for the purpose of money or attention, with no actual passion for what they're making. You can't make that accusation towards Pokemon romhacks, which, as variable as their quality might be, are niche passion projects that aren't made for profit.
