Like the Potato Pony.
You should check out the G5 Speculation thread Nightmare Muffin! You'll laugh till you cry. Especially since some of the jokey predictions came true in G4. Like the Potato Pony.care to throw up a link?
My hopes:
Better toys
A horsey design
Appeals to kids again
A better cartoon look
New cast of characters
All proper pony species
I have talked about this at length in the leaks thread already, so I'll sum up what I hope/wish for (not necessarily think it'll happen):This is definitely my list. I'd also add some more love for G1 characters.
-New characters
-More pony species (canon flutterponies or seaponies would be nice)
-Pony design should make use of longer snouts again, anything other than the humanoid front view the cartoon G4s have right now
-No sickly thin or steroid ponies
-Less gendering of colors, hairstyles or bodytypes. I would actually love it if they went G2 and made the male ponies look like the females. Never understood why G4 stallions are often regular horse colors with choppy manes. They're MLP, they should be pretty/pastelly
-Less pop culture shout-outs that ultimately date the show. No pony stand-ins for real life people or popular characters on other shows.
-Better toy tie-ins. I want to see most of the show characters on shelves and not just a core cast.

Sad that some of the pics are not working anymore, that thread is an MLP comedy classic. But when was there a potato pony in G4?
Is this the thread perchance? I'm getting quite a few good chuckles out of it! :D http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,339554.msg923149.html

Hmm. Can't seem to find the G5 Speculation Thread. That's sad. Its comedy gold! I did find the link to the Potato Head Pony however.

Omg Potarity! She is a thing of beauty and should be in G5.
For instance, while generation 1 is moderately known and somewhat respected by those fans in gen4, very few (if any) know of its roots that lie in a Japanese branch of MLP done by toy company Takara (now Takara Tomy) which produced an adorable, region exclusive, version of ponies known as “Mai Ritoruu Ponii” (My Stylish Pony), with a cast of 4 characters- Pinky and Milky being the main 2, and their friends, Lily and Popo coming into the picture later. With these g1 characters being region exlusive, having a very limited distribution, and never even having their own animated tv series, I think that giving them a fair shot and incoporating them in fun ways with the characters in g5 could benefit both the fans of these old and obscure ponies, but also the next generation.I love the Takara MLPs personally, but I doubt anyone at Hasbro is aware of them. And even if they were, they'd have no reason to reference them. And even if they wanted to, how would they even do it? There's very little to pull from. We have a character named Pinkie, even if it's by coincidence, I think that's the closest we could realistically get. :)
Of course, this will all come crashing down on the Doomsday of 2026, when Minty shall have her revenge, and hereafter all ponies shall be mint green and all shall come with socks and a newgoldengreen age will descend upon the earth, causing a flourish of fluffy sock-adorned unicorns to descend from the sky dancing upon green rainbows and joyously singing the musical numbers from A Very Minty Christmas on repeat.
- Smaller ponies. Teaching kids to embrace the wonders of microscopes and science is a beautiful thing.I've always wanted to inhale them! :lol:
- More pink. More pink is more pink. Pink is more, thus more is pink.Sounds like G3 Pinkie brought this back etched in a stone plate.

Whoa, that looks like Pinkie became a lolita model nurse.
Apparently some sneak peeks of those ponies were posted on youtube and on another site.
*wants to keep an eye out for the releases lol*

If she had a normal horse head, it would balance out the big hooves and long legs.
Well after I typed up everything, I decided this would be better suited in ToyBox lolApparently some sneak peeks of those ponies were posted on youtube and on another site.

Ooh do tell!
Something to chew on. Can we have an actual queen this time? Really, what many people probably think of when they hear "queen" is Queen Elizabeth II. So, why not have the queen be a sweet grandmotherly type (who can kick all kinds of tail when her country is threatened like Majesty in G1)?

I love these punny names! :lol:
My hopes for G5:
- New characters
- G1 designs/characters brought into the G5 world
- No more Mane 6 (or have them grow up but not be the main characters)
Novo is a lot like Rosedust, I've notices. Initially not wanting to help the outsiders, and foremost concerned with protecting her subjects, but softening up when she takes time to reconsider. I hope we get flutterponies in gen 5Something to chew on. Can we have an actual queen this time? Really, what many people probably think of when they hear "queen" is Queen Elizabeth II.

Novo wasn't a bad queen, she was willing to give a chance but she was willing to unleash queenly wrath when Twilight Dummy tried to screw her over.
I have only 1 real wish:so basically, briging back Dream Beauties or Friendship Garden horses.
Ponies that look like ponies in a variety of poses/colors/sizes.
Simple as that.
I am tired of emoji faces or circle smily faces on 4 legs.
Tired of the same 6 characters and nothing else.
I want pretty AND cute. Or even just pretty.
How hard is it to make horse face horses?
No more eye-flounder, no more human faces, no more backward bending 'arms', no more cash-grab cheap-o toys. (Looking at Chrysalis brushables and other horrible stuff where it was just like 'churn it out fools buy anything dur dur'. I want something I can get genuinely excited about owning and buying and collecting again.

I meant she is probably the most globally recognized queen (especially ruling queen rather than wife of the king), there are obviously many of them across the world and history. I just think the "people think of queens as evil" justification for making Celestia a princess was faulty.Something to chew on. Can we have an actual queen this time?

That kind of underrepresents the considerable number of European countries who have their own monarchic systems, and probably don't think of our Queen over their own. It's not like Britain is the only monarchy in Europe, or even the world.
I suspect Majesty probably was based around that concept, to be honest ;) albeit it's said that there are a lot of people who wouldn't want to mess with the Queen even at her age...

I seem to remeber something in context of queen in association with g4 as to why celestia is a princess and not a queen. It was some nonsense about kids seeing queen as negative or something like that.yup, that's it exactly. Becuse kids have been brainwashed by Disney to believe that. But even now, Isney is backpedaling by making QUEEN Elsa from Frozen, and throwing jabs at their own formula with what defines a Disney Princess, in Moana, with Maui's lnes of dialogue.
That logic doesn't work either. There have been a grand total of TWO evil queens in the Disney canon (and the Queen of Hearts was less so much evil as bat you know what insane) and both were based off their EUROPEAN origins. The queen in Snow White isn't even evil in the context of being queen but being incredibly vein and jealous to the point of unhealthy obsession her step daughter is better looking than her.I seem to remeber something in context of queen in association with g4 as to why celestia is a princess and not a queen.

I meant her evilness did not come out of her being queen but being the jealous stepmother. Make her the mistress of a manor, and you've not really changed anything about the story.
That. it panders to kids and not adults.

I want Unipegs back.

You are an adult so if you want them to pander to kids they wouldn't do anything on your list because you are an adult who demanded it :lol:
Also I have no clue if "unipeg" was ever used in MLP canon but it's an ugly word, imo. It's like a pony with a peg leg. "'Tis my peg leg. I only have one so call me Unipeg. At your service!" :lol:
I wonder why we even need an extra word for it, it's literally a winged unicorn so why not call it that.

No more friendship
I kind of read a little on the queen stuff and I have to ask, as for MLP.. What about Queen Novo? I haven't watched the movie yet but she's a queen also XD
Ah so "unipeg" is a fanterm you want them to make canon ;)
I guess I want them to have Flutterponies again. Some of them can have horns.
Pegacorn?
In all honesty, I hope they're digital just so I won't be tempted to collect them. I'm running out of display space and need to reign in my spending - I really don't need another generation of plastic to collect :lol:
Pegacorn?
Pegacorn?
Peggy's corn is the best corn in all of Equestria!
On that note, I do hope that other species have symbols. G4 seems to have decided that only unicorns, Pegasus, and earth ponies are allowed to have them. Even species that should be directly related to ponies, like the Breezies and the Hippogriffs, don't have them. I really like the inclusion of the Hippogriffs, it's new and different but could still be made to be very pony with th right design. So I hope in G5 they bring them back, make them not quite so leggy with hoof hair to help simulate the classic pony leg sillouhette and most importantly, symbols.
Taffeta, FiM had a pony in a cool steampunk wheelchair. You just didn't watch that episode.
I would be happy with no store exclusive ponies the ONLY TRU around me within six hours is closing in April then there will be none near me. My wall mart did not get ANY of the baby sea ponies and has 40+ boxes full of scenes of equestra singles. Even on mark down they are not selling, other than amazon I am sheer out of luck.

Baby Sea Ponies weren't store exclusives, were they? They sure weren't exclusives here, they've been everywhere, although wave 1 only appeared briefly on immediate clearance. ><
