I agree that the description is a bit misleading. I think the intention of Capcom was to make the distinction that Humans possess a soul, whereas Pawns do not. As the concept of a soul is a philosophical state, and emotion is generally considered a biological process, the lack of a soul does not preclude emotion. There are numerous examples of this in science fiction, such as the android "Data" in Star Trek: The Next Generation after he finally gets his emotion chip upgrade. It's based on this premise that it makes perfect sense that a Pawn can have emotion, but is not considered "human" in the context of this game because they lack a soul.
