Whats wrong with LPS Merch? ( And my other sites)
TornadoTwist:
So for quite some time I've got some comments on LPS Merch that my site has some errors, missing pets, wrong info like numbers and so on.
First of all about the generations: Yes I know my way of counting is different but it seems like there's no official way as some people call the kenner ones G1. That your method was first isnt a good argument imo. For those interested here's my opninion:
SpoilerAh found my mail. Please keep in mind that this is my opinion and my arguments. You're ofc allowed to disagree :)
"As the generations go, I believe there is no clear idea at which generation we are right now. As far as we know Hasbro doesn’t categorize their toys in generations.
The other thing that doesn’t help is that not everyone has the same idea about the generation order as well. Some of them for example claim that the Vintage Kenner ones from the 90s are actually generation 1 and that the 2005 ones from Hasbro are already Generation 2. Some also claim that generation 2 and 3 are the same but that means that G2 contains over 2300 pets. Also the G2 and G3 ones are quite different with the use of Eye-Symbols as well as the brand-design. A thing we also keep in mind is that everyone is able to edit Wikipedia. So for me it’s more a personal thing, that everyone has their own idea of which pets belong in which generation. I’ve written down my theories below:
G1 – The Start of Hasbro’s LPS line, pets are natural looking in terms of colors.
G2 – Introduction of the eye-symbols
G3 – Pets become more cartoon-like in terms of colors and expressions
G4 – Complete reboot in terms of pet-design and packaging, also ties in with the show
G5 – New pet-design as well as well as the packaging
Pet In the City – A smaller line that falls under G5, Counting restarts at #1
G5,5 – Counting starts again but thing in terms of packaging and logo are quite similar to G5
G6 – Pets are the same as G5,5. But there’s a total new way of counting pets (Series 1… *number) etc. Packaging and Logo have also drastically changed."
Alright so I also have people who tell me some pet info is wrong or missing but when I ask What exactly is wrong I never get a reply back. So I'm kinda lost atm.
So this is a topic where you can report the errors of my sites. Not Just LPS Merch but also MH and EAH Merch. I will fix it all as soon as possible. :)

The new Target-exclusive Cutie Mark Crew set doesn't have listings! Just a heads up. ;)
LPS is just sort of...are you going for an audience that collects the Kenner LPS, or just the 2005 and on ones? At least that's what it feels like as an outsider, maybe fans of the toys know more.
Flitter:
I think of the Kenner LPS as G1 and the new ones all G2, but with different series. I've never been into LPS after the Kenner ones though so I'm not sure how current fans think to treat them.
I noticed recently on EAHMerch that the "Sweet Treats" doll series doesn't appear to be there.
Keep up the good work! MLPMerch and EAHMerch have been invaluably helpful to me and I know so many others.

Speaking as a casual 2005-onwards LPS fan, I too think of "G1" as being the original Kenner toys, "G2" as being the first run of Hasbro, and "G3" as the 2010s redesign.
I love your sites, btw ^^ They've been invaluable to me, especially the LPS one (I've been dying for a site like that for *years* now).

Same with me.
I'm a fan of the kenner ones, and the newest designs-- and this is what i think in terms of "generations"
If categorizing them into gens are too complicated, what about just sticking to year releases and having people sort that way
