Quote from: SpacePinto on November 07, 2019, 06:34:57 PMI still don't understand why some people insist that categorizing generations by animation only came with G4. Some people are right here And I don't "insist" on it, I observed it first hand. What a single person like you thought before Bronies came around doesn't matter in this argument. None of you tried to fight these fandom categories as they did and still do.It was the G4 fans who populized the "Tales is really G2" stuff ignoring what the older fans said. It simply makes things more confusing if you refer to a G1 toyselling vehicle as G2 just because it's a secondary show. "Tales" is a great way to refer to it, that's literally what the show is called.G1 ran for a couple of years and in Tales a bunch of later G1 ponies were featured, not a single G2. Tales wasn't about Sky Skimmer and Ivy.

I still don't understand why some people insist that categorizing generations by animation only came with G4. When I first got back into ponies in 2006, I soon discovered that the new ponies with short muzzles who giggled a lot were called G3s but I was confused by Tales which reminded me of the ponies from my childhood and yet was so different, so when I picked up all the mentions of "G2" which most people apparently hated for being so different, I figured it referred to MLPT since it indeed was quite different from the earlier show and it seemed like I was one of the few people who actually liked it, so I soon just came to the conclusion that G1 must have meant the first show with Wind Whistler, Fizzy etc., G2 was Tales and G3 was the "new" (at the time) ponies. Of course some time later I also discovered those weird ponies that looked like nothing else and had no cartoon at all, and soon I realized how it actually worked, but to this day I like to think that MLPT is either an animated adaptation of the G1 toyline or the G2 animated canon.
I thought G3 was the new generation of ponies for the first time since the 80s since I literally never saw the Friendship Garden ponies in stores at all and didn't realize they existed. Then I discovered Dream Valley and found out about those too.
Is it wrong that I kinda want her, JUST because she's a new character?

Good thinking on the cross-gen custom. She does look very bald in the package, I'm hoping it's just the hair color blending in.
I wish some of the really popular and expensive ponies were widely disliked and cheap, so I could grab them with ease.
