and then there is getting into the more recent groups of creatures that were only just introduced in the Movie that came before Season 8: the Abyssinians and the “Parrots”/Arakkoa. We could have gotten us a fitting return of the G1 Character Katrina in kitty form, especially when this particular episode has part of its internal conflict stemming from the Students getting attacked by a group of Bushwoolies. Toss in a couple of Diamond Dog Pups, Zebra Fillies, Buffalo Calves, Parrot Chicks, maybe even give us Léon and Princess Erroria so we can FINALLY get some damn bit of information about Alicorns in-general that is not:
Handwaved (Celestia and Luna)
Ignored (Twilight)
Forgotten (Cadence)
or Frustrated (Flurry Heart)
But no. That seems like it is too much to ask for.
@cheezedoodle
No particular order. I think 7 are up for nominations now, and another 2 or 3 from this pic plus a few others that aren’t present will come later.
Has everybody missed this detail? Look, Spike holds a shield, on the shield we see element of magic surrounded by S I X elements of harmony…
Foreshadowing?
7th element confirmed?

MLP first came into existence as a franchise in 1984.
G1 ran from that time to sometime in the early 90s. Then G1.5 known as MLP Tales took hold.
G2 Ponies was a complete flop, literally lasted only a year in the US.

This but Habro always rebooted MLP every decade (1980s G1 1990s G2 2000s G3 2010s G4).As much as i came to have only disdain for Hasbro this last decade but changing Generations every decade make sense from both a marketing and a practical point of view.You see,MLP is (initially) aimed at little girls from,let’s say,roughly,3 to 10 years old.Once they grow up,it make sense to reboot the franchise to capture the next generations of little girl so the audience dont have to watch a series in mid-airing

Fanon theory is while earth ponies are good at farming,pegasi at weather,and unicorns at magic,…fans seem to think crystal ponies are enchanters. I mean…look at the crystal heart…it’s basically a MASSIVE element of harmony.
You make good points. It’s easy to forget what isn’t recent.
Like Diamond Dogs. They aren’t represented either, and I forgot to place them on the list.
I didn’t have crystal ponies on the list simply because I’m not sure they aren’t just ponies with a form of regional magic flowing through them (all of the Mane 6 were crystal, briefly, and usually the crystal ponies aren’t very crystalline).
@Background Pony #945A Iger might see reasons to buy Hasbro, as Marvel made Transformers comics before. Also, how similar do you think G4 MLP is to ALL those animated Disney films from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Moana?

Yeah that’s what we thought after they bought Marvel and Star Wars but apparently they’re not done yet because now Fox is in the barrel too.
