Eh, at least we’re getting new toys (of new characters). If the toys are nice, I won’t be too bothered by what they do with the cartoon/s.

In regards to generation names: Hasbro is calling the movie and beyond “G5”. Now that Hasbro has officially weighed in, what previously defined generations no longer matters. Hasbro is now in charge of the naming convention.

Hasbro is now in charge of the naming convention.I’m still tickled that Basic Fun used the term “G3” on rerelease packaging. It isn’t like it used to be, when the world of “official” terminology and the world of fanon were so distinctly separate. I’m not honestly sure how that makes me feel, but companies are a lot more tuned in to their fandoms than they were before the age of wikis, social media, and such.

XPThere is one thing that might be positive about keeping the G4-verse, though... Maybe there’s still a chance we could get toys of the new species that were introduced late in FiM (Kirin, reformed!Changelings, etc.)?
I don't get it. We aren't getting a rehashed mane 6. I assume the general thought should be a tentative "yay".I'm not going to judge, or care, until we actually see more ~especially the toys~. I don't see why this can't be a new gen yet, and why people are so grumpy that they would see the mane6 again.

I don't see why this can't be a new gen yet, and why people are so grumpy that they would see the mane6 again.Because hating on the Mane 6 seems to be very popular. Granted, I DO understand the rerelease fatigue (which has permeated G4, sadly), but I don’t really get the outright venom for the characters/setting. I’m guessing it has a lot to do with bronies, Hasbro pandering to some demographics more than others, and the aforementioned saturation of M6 merch.
