I don’t quite know how unpopular this is anymore, but I refuse to have anything to do with G4/4.5. It was overblown, went on for too long, and got worse as time went on. Brought in some really sketchy fandom people, too.

It was overblown, went on for too long, and got worse as time went on. Brought in some really sketchy fandom people, too. I don't like the fan names or animation names for the G4 ponies. Their names are whatever Hasbro put on their packages as far as I'm concerned. This is probably because I don't like the FIM fandom more than any sense of loyalty to Hasbro mind you...
It's their size I don't like, along with the lack of variety in the brushables.Fashion Styles are a better size, but none of the CMC or other younger Ponies were made to match that.The focus toy-wise also shifted from brushable to mini: in G4's case, blind bags. Even getting them opened is annoying. They're like toys for my other Ponies.Back to the size of normal brushables: G4 normal size adults are the same size as G1 Baby Ponies. They're midget Ponies if you will.My other least fave thing about G4 is my least fave thing about G3.5: repetition. We got, instead of the huge variety of characters, species & shapes featured in the show, a few token side-characters & the Mane Six ad nauseum. Even were I to get every G1 Butterscotch ever made, it would come nowhere near the amount of TS's I have, let alone the amount of TS's actually released (Yep I still don't have all the TS's ever released). It's just too much!!! Fortunately most of the TS's in my collection were easy to get hold of.The fandom of G4 is a whole other discussion.
I don't mind the eyebrows on G5. I don't like them, but I think its because I'm used to the Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron movie/Spirit Riding Free toys, having them. So they don't bother me quite so much.
One thing that I'm sure will be unpopular here... I do think that FiM ultimately deserves the praise it gets.
I think all gens are good. Even G3.5 and G4

I used to not be sure about it, but I do like it a whole heck of a lot better than G4!And I agree with that last point, Tafetta; I wasn’t keen on all the G1 ‘references’ G4 tried to shove in.
