    I sat there, controller in hand, staring at the screen. Lego Digimon was a great game, but there were these inconsistencies that just didn't add up. Why couldn't Tentomon use technical bricks? It was a simple question but one that annoyed me to no end.

    I mean, it's Tentomon for crying out loud! He's an insectoid Digimon with technological abilities. This should have been a no-brainer for the developers. I thought to myself, frustration mounting.

    And then there was Henry. Smart, intelligent Henry, who couldn't use technical bricks either. It was as if the game had a personal vendetta against my favorite characters.

    I decided to do some research, hoping to find answers to my questions. Maybe there were some hidden game mechanics that I wasn't aware of.

    But the more I searched, the more confused I became. There was no clear explanation why Gatomon could destroy cracked bricks but Guilmon couldn't.

    And Gammamon? He too could destroy cracked bricks. I couldn't understand the logic behind these decisions. It was as if the bricks had their own mysterious rules.

    It seemed like the game was taunting me, challenging me to solve its puzzle. And I was up for the challenge. I was determined to unravel the mystery of the missing bricks.

    I started by examining the game's code. If the answers weren't in the game itself, perhaps they were hidden in the lines of programming behind it.

    But the code was a labyrinth, a maze of numbers and symbols. I felt like I was trying to decipher an alien language.

    I spent hours, days, weeks trying to make sense of the code. But it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

    Just when I was about to give up, I stumbled upon something. A pattern, a clue hidden within the maze of code.

    It was a piece of code related to the attributes of each character. I felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe this was the key to solving the mystery.

    I studied the code, trying to understand its implications. And then it hit me. The code was assigning abilities to characters based on their attributes.

    And there it was, the reason why Tentomon and Henry couldn't use technical bricks. The code simply didn't assign them the required attribute.

    The same was true for Gatomon and Guilmon. Gatomon had the attribute to destroy cracked bricks, but Guilmon didn't. It was all in the code.

    It wasn't a game design flaw or a personal vendetta against my favorite characters. It was just the way the code was written.

    But why? Why were these characters given these specific attributes? Why were Tentomon and Henry deprived of the ability to use technical bricks?

    And why could Gatomon destroy cracked bricks but not Guilmon? I needed to find the person who wrote this code. I needed answers.

    I started my search, trying to find the team behind Lego Digimon. I contacted the game's developers, hoping they could shed some light on the matter.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. But I didn't give up. I was determined to solve the mystery of the missing bricks.

    And then, finally, I got a response. It was from one of the game's developers. He agreed to meet with me and discuss the game's design.

    We met at a local coffee shop. He was a middle-aged man with a friendly face. He greeted me with a warm smile and thanked me for my interest in the game.

    I explained my concerns and asked him about the game's design. He listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I outlined my discoveries and theories.

    He then explained that the attributes were assigned based on the characters' personalities and abilities in the Digimon universe. It was all about balance and fairness.

    He told me that if every character could do everything, then there would be no challenge, no excitement. The game would lose its charm.

    I understood his point. It made sense. The game was designed to be challenging, to make players think and strategize. It wasn't about personal preferences.

    I thanked him for his time and for the explanations. I left the coffee shop, feeling a sense of satisfaction. I had solved the mystery of the missing bricks.

    I went back home and fired up the game. I chose Tentomon, ready to embrace his limitations and use them to my advantage. After all, that was the true essence of the game.

    Every character, every brick, every rule had its own purpose. And it was up to me, the player, to figure it all out and make the best of it.

    And so, I continued my Lego Digimon adventure, with a new understanding and appreciation for the game. Every challenge, every puzzle was a part of the journey. And I was ready for it.

    The game was no longer a source of frustration, but a source of joy and excitement. And as I continued to play, I realized that the real mystery wasn't in the game, but in the journey of understanding it.
