free iOS checklist app in the works

[toycollectorapp]

Hi, all! I'm in the process of finally adding MLP to the checklist app I've been working on over the past couple of years (goo.gl/LCAEx - Toy Collector) and I didn't realize until I started doing some preliminary research just how massive the MLP universe is. Any recommendations on where to start for getting comprehensive lists? Should I start with one of the more popular or current generations and work my way up from there? What about images? The app is free and I've always relied on community sharing for images... is there a repository I should target? I, of course, would credit the site below each image... etc...

Thanks in advance!

Neat idea. I'd definitely grab it from the App Store!!  I would say G1 and G4 are the most popular then G3 followed by G2.

As much as I'm totally in love with G4's right now I'd say your best bet is to start with G1's

Good luck

Even with just G1 ponies, it's hard to have an all inclusive list. The basic set of G1's were those sold in the US from the early 80's through early 90's... but there are many, MANY other G1's sold exclusively in other countries & regions all over the world. For the purpose of your app (and personal sanity, lol), you would probably want to stick to US G1's. I'd recommend Dream Valley, as its the longest running MLP identification website & the info about the ponies sold in the US is pretty complete & reliable.

If you want to add UK G1's, I'd recommend Taffeta's site: http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook/

US & UK releases are considered the basis of G1 collecting. Ponies sold in most other areas are called "Nirvanas" by collectors. This opens up a seemingly endless list of variations on the basic US/UK sets.

I'd love that app!

If you're going for G1 ponies there are roughly 650 US and UK ponies and friends.  It can get quite complex with different names and variations.  Myself and other collectors might be able to provide you with lists of ponies and talk you through things only a collector would know   Just give a shout if you'd like to see my files and I'd be happy to help talk you through it.

There are plenty of pony websites out there as others have suggested here. As a starting point I would recommend you begin with US releases rather than all G1s out there...it could get complicated with all the variations.

I can recommend this site http://mlpland.com/?l=2. It's easy to navigate, ponies are sorted by gens and years and there is a good search function. The downside is its poorly updated G4 database.
