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.

Why do people say "New (to me)" about stuff they just acquired? My friend, it's your new thing.

Because "new book" could imply that this copy of the book is new, or that the book was only recently published, or it could mean that this copy, regardless of how recently it was printed, was just acquired by the person and they didn't know about it's existence beforehand. "New to me" clarifies that it was the last of these options that was the intended meaning.

I appreciate that, it is my new thing!

But too many online reply "Pfffft! That's not new, it's been around for a year!", so some of us try to head them off.
