It still makes no sense to start wars with each other over a few missing kids..but we all know Ember and The Dragon Army would slaughter the other creatures, Hippogriffs would go extinct along with Yaks and Griffins

That’s my big criticism: they threw in all the cool character designs all at once in the final 2 seasons. Sure, the yaks and dragons and gay changelings have been around for longer than that, but they were previously always separate and rarely interacted with ponies. It would have been a much smoother transition if they had emissaries to Canterlot instead of suddenly sending students (diplomatic hostage trading) to Twilight’s suddenly-opened friendship school (really a plot for Hasbro to sell new toy sets).

Agreed.  
I think it would be cool for future MLP generations if these cool species were less in the outskirts of the show in the future, though. I love the character designs, and the different cultures are really fun to look at.

Notoriously Divine Tagger - Consistently uploads images above and beyond the minimum tag requirements. And/or additionally, bringing over the original description from the source if the image has one. Does NOT apply to the uploader adding several to a dozen tags after originally uploading with minimum to bare tagging.
Lunar Supporter - Helped forge New Lunar Republic's freedom in the face of the Solar Empire's oppressive tyrannical regime (April Fools 2023).

They sent students to the School of Friendship because they’re allies of Equestria, and Princesses Celestia and Twilight reached out to them to request it. Boom, all the reason necessary.
 
Presumably the leaders (or ambassadors) came themselves because it was such a momentous occasion, to have their species invited to attend school in Equestria, that they wanted to be there themselves, in addition to accompanying their charges.

Season 8 brought FIM down. Hasbro thought Diversity is our Strength is the PC thing to do, but ratings crashed and now they’re bailing out.
Background Pony #65ED
Yes. You are a joke. Especially you, character from the race that came from the movie.

What if the Student 6 were DHX’s bid to get MLP to season 10 or more but Hasbro didn’t take the bate?

i always draw a comparison to Scrubs.
 
in Scrubs you had all these characters and near the end of the show they introduced these younger and new characters, when Scrubs ended it basically just continued with the new characters. i assume something similar will happen here too

Seems pretty obvious that the Young Six are being groomed to become the next Elements of Harmony / Go-to world saving team once the Mane 6 take over for Celestia and Luna in the finale.
