I think that tagline is accurate in that the GBA did play a role in creating a pixel art renaissance. But at the same time I feel like there's been a "flattening" of the art styles in a lot of pixel art moving from that point on, and sometimes it makes some pixel-based games feel like caricatures of their predecessors.
