I actually remember anti-Faust fans making her responsible for this episode and harassing her for it until she apologized in her husband's name.Sorry to nitpick, but Lauren Faust actually did write/storyboard that PPG ep ("Equal Fights").

I know a lot of people are relieved these things aren't G5. However, this makes me worried G5 will be worse. There has been a trend to eliminate equine elements to the design of the ponies starting with G3.5. Making the snouts small, the eyes more forward. With these things, the only thing equine about them is they have non-split hooves. The heads aren't equine and even the shape of the legs isn't equine.And this is a problem. It's not that they're not making the toys realistically horse-like. It's that they're so stylized they can't be recognized as horses anymore. Why make a brand called My Little PONY if you don't want to make PONIES?

Their board games department is wrecking the classics by trying to keep them hip with the new trends. Their Disney lines are not as high quality as they were when Mattel made them.And MLP naming has gotten terrible. There use to be thought put into these, but now it does feel like they're throwing darts at a board to combine two words.

That said! Potion Nova really is a terrible name. It just feels like they went "okay, what to name her.. uhhhh... she has a potion on her butt, so.. Potion.... *throws a dart at a list of words* ...Nova... Potion Nova.. yeah... that'll do...".

I think this must be how Hasbro comes up with most of their pony names. Ponyfan
Wait... so are these G5 or not?
