You sound like someone who's heard about the unbeatable champion Leon's unbeatable Charizard! (In all seriousness, I don't think the favoritism in Pokemon is that bad. Like I feel it's totally justified to have more cameos for Misty and Brock versus . . . that stupid "Science is amazing!" blond kid (Cyrus? Cylas?) who travelled with Ash, because more people DO remember and care about Misty and Brock than Blond Science Kid.)So my feeling on G1 MLP is I love the retro toys coming out and I enjoy seeing appearances here and there of the ponies in toy form or in story elements. For example, Cha Cha the Llama being in the recent blind bag assortment--I think that's funny and great. Or Grogar being rebooted as a G4 villain.But I wouldn't want a FULL reboot of MLP & Friends or MLP Tales. I didn't like the world of MLP Tales and I didn't connect with most of the characters from MLP & Friends.It's worth noting that G4 actually drew from G3 a lot more than G1. Not that I'm mad about it or anything, I didn't feel like it detracted from the show. I guess that's my main requirement when it comes to referencing past gens: just don't make it awkward or intrusive. Anyway, I'm happy that Skywishes finally got a toy that's a pegasus instead of an earth pony.
I see the new furuba as a correction rather than a reboot as it goes back to the source...
I see these topics as two separate things that are already being done by Hasbro tbh. Every generation of MLP is a reboot. While it would be nice if they went closer in spirit to the original for a reboot FIM was such a success I think it will be more likely like FIM. And as for favoritism just look at their overuse of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Which ironically were from the generation that was out around the same time as Pokemon just started in Kanto. Pinkie Pie is basically their Pikachu.
I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I'm fairly certain that Pokemon G1 is concurrent with G2. G3 didn't begin till 2003, but I know I had a GBA and Pokemon Blue in 2000. I also have a feeling that Moon and Sun marked the 20 year anniversary.
