Thinking about it,
Pipp was only added because they wanted to appeal to the kids who never got off their phones, and to bring the mane cast up to 5 because G5. Of course, that’s pure speculation.

I can name Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, Zipp, Hitch, Sprout, Haven, Alphabittle, Sprout, and Phyllis at a glance. I haven’t even seen the movie yet. What’s your point?
