MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

 
Why?

@WyrmSpawN  
Exactly, why? Why is she the one that is specifically called for having a descendant?

@WyrmSpawN  
because yes

@WyrmSpawN  
IDk, though it does make me wonder if there will be descendants of the M6?

@WyrmSpawN  
@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
why not?

So you mean to tell me that we will not be seeing any descendant of the Apple family? Only Starlight’s descendants?

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
Never say never, Apple’s descendants might still pop up.

@Background Pony #4D5A  
It’s just weird that they only confirmed that we’ll be seeing Starlight’s descendants first. I thought they would’ve been like “ Oh yeah well we’ll be seeing Applebloom’s or Big Mac descendants” or somethng along those lines, but whatever…

Well, Hitch Trailblazer got its full name. But can we give him a alternative/nickname just for fun? Like “Hitch Hiker”?

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
Well, we can technically say the same RD’s ascendants and descendants. Or any of the others. And the villians, too.

@Khaki_Cap  
Hitch Hiker?
 
Oh, boy, the puns that will follow on his first name.

@Khaki_Cap  
Nah,I’m thinking Stranded would be a better name wink wink

Any way of knowing if there’s any validity to those rumors and not just someone talking out there ass? Because if Discord is gonna be in this then I’m out. Bringing him back was the worst mistake the show ever did and I don’t think I can stomach another whole season with him

@Kiryu-Chan  
It’s a new generation, not a new season. Even if it takes place in the same place as G4.

I wonder if Discord would still be good considering Fluttershy was his only leash, and she’s gone now. Without magic in Equestria, maybe he’s a lot weaker than he was in G4.

@Background Pony #3E41  
Interesting thought.

@Kiryu-Chan  
Logically speaking, it’s 50/50. 4chan has been leaking stuff that at this moment has been confirmed (ex: gen 5 pony names) while at the same time giving us convoluted information as well (ex : all that stuff about bat ponies etc.)

 
It’s Izzy, calling it right now

So a bat pony, kirin, and changeling won’t be part of the new Mane Six? Where’s my inclusivity?! (I’m joking.)

@Background Pony #3E41  
They’re not officially part of the brand. And batponies are literally just pegasi transformed by illusions anyway, probably because they’re a copyright of Harry Potter.

@Background Pony #3E41  

 
_no

Ok, is there any actual verification that G5 takes part in G4’s universe? I watched Paleosteno’s video on the G5 reveal, and he wasn’t sure if it was a same setting, different characters setup or a Digimon Tamers setup where the previous gen is fictional to the current gen.

@Ebalosus  
There was a press release that detailed the story of the movie. It didn’t explicitly say whether it was specifically in the same world as FiM, but it had the phrase  
the beloved pony world of Equestria is expanding to introduce a new generation of ponies to a new generation of fans  
which implies that it’s the same Equestria.

@Ebalosus  
And in the picture, there were figures of the Mane Six and a banner with Celestia’s cutie mark in Sunny’s room. While it’s possible it could just be easter eggs, it lends some credence to the “Mane Six have faded into myth” which would put G5 in the same universe as G4.
