Mlp tales
« on: April 01, 2014, 04:59:01 PM »
I was wondering if the mlp tales figures are g1 or g2? And the cartoon series? Because I´ve seen people posting Youtube videos about the Mlp cartoons and refering that the Mlp tales introduced the g2.

They are G1.  For example, here's a picture from my little wiki of Bon Bon's toy.

It's a common misconception that MLP Tales is G2.

Yep- they were G1.  We can't even really call them G1.5 because the toy style didn't change at all.  I don't think there was a G2 cartoon.

Show wise G1.5, completely different show, characters, and world than G1. It took all the fantasy outta G1.

The toys are G1 from tales, not G2.

They're definitely G1. There were the regular My Little Pony cartoons then there was the My Little Pony Tales series...

It seems a big part of the confusion is that they released the DVDs wit G2 art in the covers, wit the escuse that they loosed the right   >_<

Nope there was never a G2 cartoon. A video game but not a cartoon. The art style is pretty clearly G1

Definitely G1 and one of the cartoons I grew up watching... well when I was a little bit older.  I can't remember the year these came out but it's well before G2.

Show wise and toy wise...its all G1. The G3.5 resembles G4 as well as G3...so if we were suddenly changing things because of the show then G3.5 show could be G4 and FiM should be G4.5. But that really doesnt make sense either.

They have always been referred to as G1 and its only with the more recent fans who are perhaps more into the cartoon than the toys [which is what the line is all] that this conversation even seems to have raised. They have been G1 since we actually started the "generation" references and therefore I am sticking with that. :)

Tales is G1.  It in fact marked the beginning of the end of G1.  The generation ended over most of the world outside of Europe that year and the toy versions of the Tales character were actually only sold in Europe.

The My Little Pony Movie (with The Smooze and Flutter Ponies) has G2 ponies on it's DVD as well.

I think the confusion with Tales is simply because it was so vastly different to the rest of G1, and those who only like the show or aren't that familar with the toys jump to the conclusion it has to be G2 for that reason.

It is more the newer fans, but I think I have seen some older fans get it wrong too.

I will confess to being a brony, but I assure you that the things you may not like about them do not apply to me, I mostly keep the fandom name due to nostaligia, but I do genuinely love MLP as a whole, not just FIM, and not just the popularity of FIM - I genuinely love the show (and all the others)

I think it's all G1 - I've never understood why anyone would refer to it as anything else.

G1:

G2:

I mean... really.

I guess the misconception comes because for some people the toys define the generations (which I believe really is the most accurate way of defining them - this is a toy franchise that happens to have an accompanying TV show) and for others it's the cartoons. But even then, the style of the Tales cartoon is still clearly the same generation.

Just because it's a different setting doesn't make it a new generation - both the cartoon style and the toys and merchandise are clearly G1. For Tales had been G2, it would probably have looked something like this!

I've run across a few really don't care and militantly defend calling Tales G2, so watch your step.

I agree. Better just to laugh at them to yourself than to start an argument, I'd think :)
