And now they've made the unreleased sets inaccessible. This is exactly why I didn't share my method. *sigh*

I think she's going to get a Mewtwo. It's not what I saw when I watched the episodes, but maybe it'll be different this time!

In general, I also don't read reviews or look at scores. None of that matters to me, what others think of a game they may or may not have a bias towards has no bearing on my preferences. Score systems also fail because everything has strengths and weaknesses, and it really depends on what you value.

to find what you can learn from it. What would you do differently, how would you do it? Why did they do it the way they did? At least, those are things I enjoy thinking about, but none of it has to do with arriving at a score or ranking or recommendation.

The idea of "objective opinion" is silly in general. Opinions are inherently subjective, and that's fine! Personally, I think it's a good exercise to put into words what you like and don't like, not to answer whether the whole is good, but in order to understand your own tastes, and ...

I've probably watched the Prequels that much as a kid. I haven't watched a full LotR movie without fallong asleep. MCU movies aren't really ones you rewatch a bunch of times imo. Movies I've rewatched that many times would probably be the first two BIONICLE movies.

Ultimately though, it's really just semantics about what we mean with our words. As far as I'm reading the conversation, we all agree the X's or Y's are part of their designs, and that's what matters.

Not sure what's bothersome about it? Design motifs is a completely ordinary term. Venusaur has a Y on its forehead, and its tree is a stem with displaced prongs to evoke a Y, but Venusaur as a whole idn't a Y shape, it has design elements that evoke Y's; that's the broader trend.

I also would second that "X/Y-flavored" or having X/Y motifs" would be a better way to express it.

I agree it could definitely have been done better for quite a few.

I should also mention with the suffixes, sometimes they can have pretty significant skips. Sometimes it's just jumping from -03 to -05, but there's been a case of a jump from -15 to -50.

Oh, and sometimes the tool stops delivering inventories. Just let it rest for a bit, it will come back online ;)

Finally, you can cognate -01, -02, etc. to the LEGO number for some sets (particularily around the 2013-2017 year range) to get additional inventories. Some of these are prototypes, some are combiners. -01 appears to be the default, and typically also a prototype for these sets.

Currently, there is also a notable bug with that; what appears to be ABS parts in color 28 Dark Green are listed as "SAND GREEN".

Plastics or measurements for cuts are sometimes included. "with Glitter" or "with Opal" is cognated onto the end, even for multicombination parts. This means you get things like "WARM GOLD WITH GLITTER", when it's really Co-injected Warm Gold + Transparent with Glitter.

This means ink coating colors like Warm Gold, Drum Lacq. or Silver Ink are not listed, instead the base plastic color is. Multicombination parts are only listed with one of the used color (which is useful in itself), though which color varies from set to set.

Now, for LEGO color data: The data presented here is different from that you see on Pick a Brick or Customer Service (and subsequently, Brickset). That color data has a single color ID, but here it appears to be derived from a complex material data, which has additionally been processed by the API.

Don't forget that this is an inventory comparison tool, so you can compare two LEGO inventories, two Bricklink inventories, or a LEGO and a Bricklink inventory.

Widescreen mode also enables you to view the data of both inventories separately. Otherwise elements from the second set will just give you empty rows, if you are comparing to another set.
Always break Minifigures is also recommended for comparisons with Bricklink inventories.

Secondly, enable LEGO data. Without LEGO data, you are just getting what Bricklink recognizes the element ID to be (known on Bricklink as PCCs), which is not always correct, and often means you are getting empty rows for element IDs not on Bricklink.

First of all, you can set both sources to LEGO data, which allows you to also set one of them to 0 (or any gibberish number) in order to get an empty inventory, which should ease things when looking at just one inventory.

Of course, I have also noticed that people don't really seem to know how to use it properly, so I'll provide a little guide here.
