Why did Gen 2 have so much soul? Can anyone quantify it?

time of day, muted color tone, and the best pokemon soundtrack
gen 2 exudes mellow

It was the end of the original creator's vision before Masuda and minisuda Ohmori had main creative control.

Nostalgia definitely plays a large part but beyond that Gamefreak is a small shitty company and not good at development, the Gameboy games were still somewhat within their ability to develop games for (even though iwata had to unfuck it for them)
And as someone else previously mentioned it was part of the original teams vision. When any franchise lives long enough fans of it start creating for it and fans have the worst fucking taste.

this, creativity truly is lightning in a bottle.

gen2 isnt all that special in most regards but it has a really pleasing color palette and a great soundfond.
maybe it was because of the gameboy color but it really felt like they put some time into picking the right colors for the game.
the GBA games in comparison look way shittier in that regard. they have better graphics but stylistically they are inferior.

If I could go back to Japan in the far-distant future year of 2003 and do one thing, I'd go to Game Freak and have them give their new smash hit Ruby and Sapphire a different colour palette.
It clearly wasn't a limitation for the GBA, so why did they give a tropical island environment an overall colour tone that leaned mostly towards grey? It almost feels like the FPS grey-brown filter was spearheaded by a pokemon game.
