Who cares?It's a spin-off of My Little Pony n' Friends with an entirely different cast and setting, so I wouldn't blame them for calling it "G1.5".A lot of people have been doing this within the community and it isn't much of problem/big deal; I don't understand how this can get some people ticked-off.
Yea I know, but Tales is the exception in my opinion for show only. G3.5 is that way due to the art style and toys, but I would say G1.5 only refers to the show obviously not the toys.

The toys are absolutely the same as all the other G1 toys. To call Tales anything other than G1 is confusing. Then people will wonder why Tales Bright Eyes looks like other G1 when Tales is "G1.5." Maybe it clears up some *possible* confusion about the show, but it adds tons of confusion about the toys.

I understand the toys are all G1 and Tales is late G1, I just don't like MLP and Friends grouped with Tales.
That's funny- I hadn't seen G1.5 before- I too would have guessed that maybe they meant the teen looking ponies or something near the end of G1.It doesn't make sense to base the generation on the show- the show is just a lengthy commercial. So at some point for G1, the storyline of the commercial changed. It just so happened that when G3, 3.5 and 4 toys were made, there was no show on so shows were created to advertise for the new pony product, so shows were created, and they did look more like the products that were being sold. However, with this kind of show, the show is always just an add, regardless of how good it is.
