Question about big brothers

[Zombelina]

Not at all; I think it's great they didn't go the stereotypical route and make them "masculine" colors. I wish the G4 line would follow what they did previously! The idea of a color being only appropriate for one gender or another is essentially just made up, so why reinforce something that at best is pointless and at worse encourages misunderstanding and negativity when people don't conform to the expectation?

I agree! For me, the more flexible the colours and genders, the better  All possible combinations are wonderful! And my favourite pony baby is my pink boy, Countdown

I'm a guy... Pink is my favourite colour, but reflecting back to when I was a kid I must have been super traditional. I wasn't allowed ponies myself, but I made sure they made it onto my sisters Birthday and Christmas wish list;)

I do remember though that I found pink boy ponies really odd when I was little and when I look back at my sisters collection she didn't have any; she had Lightening, Ice Crystal, Daddy Apple Delight, Baby Paws,Tex, Wigwam, and Chief... which is also a bit odd, as we only had the general neutral coloured ponies.... Note none of these were blue either!

I love the pink boys!! They are some of my favorites! There's just something about the pink brothers that really speaks to me - maybe it's the fact that they don't have to go over-the-top "manly-man" to be considered boyish? They're not all, "I am a boy pony, with the 'boy' toy mold, and my symbol is a truck, or a sport, or some manly job." And Steamer's like, "Okay, whateva, I'm a train conductor, and my train is purple, like my hat, haters gonna hate."

Can I just say I really want that coloring book? 

As for the colors. . .  I the fact that the boys come in pink.  Because I don't believe colors should be given a gender.  Boys can like pink and girls can like blue and I don't think it should matter one way or the other.

(And personally, I really like Slugger, who's lilac colored.)

I never thought about that, but I wonder if maybe it was because purely an aesthetic choice. So they had a variety of colors.

If you look at the video episode in which they were introduced (and then never seen/heard from again, touche Hasbro!), they're definitely the same colors.
