Umm, You can’t really complain when Iris came first (1 month before mlp).

Typical Gen. 1 whining.

In the episode when Twilight was sent to the crystal Kingdom in season three, She probably could have leveled all of ponyville herself without difficulty using the amount of power she had, she could teleport as easily as she walked. in episode one Twilight had to charge up her teleportation spell for half a minute in order to cast it, in the Boast busters episode she could barely handle the magic she was using to move the ursa Minor, in the frist episode of season three Twilight lifted her house in a bout of instantaneous rage barely even thinking about it. I think the transformation to alicorn from unicorn was a fare transfer, as she got more powerful over time.

@Posey  
I think what the artist is saying during the first games Iris was Drayden’s apprentice and in the sequel she’s not the champion. Similar to how Twilight was just a Unicorn without a title in royalty and then she gains wings and becomes a Princess.
 
…I think.

Where’s the comparison? Iris becoming champion isn’t comparable to Twilight being an alicorn. It’s completely different

Iris never sprouted wings.

I don’t like Iris, hate her outits.

@Background Pony  
Twilight is still young and might be good, dont complain until you see it

I don’t see the resemblance.
 
First of all, Iris is black. And a human. And young. And good at her job.

@Background Pony  
Huh… I had forgotten about that little detail… maybe she practice a lot between this episode and that?

way different, Iris went from being the last gym leader to champion a prior documented occurrence, and honestly not too far fetched.
 
Twilight went from not even being a highest level unicorn (as seen from her inability to preform an age spell) to being overall genetically superior to almost everypony.

I don’t think you understand. I am saying people knew it was going to be meh, so they decided to look beyond the mehness and try to enjoy it for what it was. If you don’t think about it too much, Black and White aren’t bad… but only if you don’t think about it too much.
 
Plus, best-selling doesn’t mean good (looks at halo).

@Background Pony  
Sales say otherwise

@Background Pony  
Mostly those who didn’t want to wait for their classics until after the main narrative went meh. It was actually one of the best selling titles ever.

As far as I can see, Black and White were kind of meh and no one really cared because we have been going through the mehness of Pokemon for ages now, we just want some fucking pokemons that aren’t retarded.

Because it’s not really so much the change that’s significantly worrying as is the motive behind it as well as the impact?
 
That’s what I hear.

@PwnyPony  
Exactly. It’s just a cosmetic thing that comes along with her slightly bigger responsibilities. She was already saving Equestria with her friends, so it’s not that big of a change.

What is to complain about?

what? i don’t remember a single complain about champion Iris, OP is just looking for reasons to keep posting drama crap.

@Whimsey  
considering any alicorn twilight pic is tagged with that shit..

@Whimsey  
Anybody called me?

@gittonsxv  
441 alicorn drama tags say otherwise.
