MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

I know that much. Not much else tho.

@Algebroot Neogears  
Actually G5 may end up having 6 main characters (just like G4), if this picture is any indication (it clearly mentions 12 characters, even if we only see 11):  

Given that image of Zipp. What if she has heterochromia and it is bullied because of it? Then she finds Sunny Starscout and the others and they become friends because they are all rejected by their differences. Pipp has ‘weird’ wings, Sunny wants to be friends with other species, for Hitch I don’t know what it would be.

@GoodVibesGorgeous  
I wonder who the 6th member would be?  
Maybe the pomeranian? 😂

@GoodVibesGorgeous  
It’s always nice to check the details. So there actually is six extra characters here, and not just five.

@GoodVibesGorgeous  
But why didn’t they show the sixth character?

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
The pomeranian might be the Spike of G5.

I think there’s supposed to be two male characters in the main cast, and if it follows the same pattern as 2 per species, then the male character should be a unicorn. Assuming Pipp (Zipp’s twin sister) is a part of the main cast.

@Dustcan  
Do you know about the characters?

@Background Pony #3112  
Looking at the text, it has numbers that count “6” for the Mane Six and “5” for the G5 characters, despite being advertised with 12. I can’t read Chinese, but from what I can understand it does seem strange.

I wonder what happened to the dragons in this gen🤔

They all went extinct.

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
or maybe it’s the shadowrun thing were they pop back up along with magic in a cyclical fashion?

@Background Pony #3112  
Maybe because there wasn’t another unicorn mold besides Rarity.

I’m predicting the line “Nothing lasts forever” (or something similar) will be spoken in the trailer.
 
@Vortaxonus  
That’s the spice.

Okay, so how old are our new main characters? Foals as suggested by this EQD comment? I’m personally thinking high school/college age, but that’s just me. That bag does look like it could be a filly guides bag, with the medals, though said medals are of M6 cutie marks, and she’s a blank flank, though magic has gone and cutie marks are tied to magic as seen in Twilight’s Kingdom…

@Wiimeiser  
I don’t think they are foals. It wouldn’t make sense since Sunny in the animatic is smaller.

Teenagers for the upcoming humanized movie that’ll come in a few years.

@Background Pony #3E41  
Maybe they were the dinosaurs of this world.

I’m hoping it’s going to be like the dark crystal age of resistance when it comes to storytelling, although I don’t know if they would go that dark.

@Wiimeiser  
If they we’re human I would say 12-14 years of age. So basically middle schoolers…

My best guess is 16-18.

@Background Pony #CA86  
That was my guess too. Though there’s a reason I put 16 as the lower bound…

@Wiimeiser  
Haha. My reasoning is I think the characters should be old enough to be able to live alone and have jobs (Hitch definitely seems like some kind of guard or police pony), but still young enough to draw in their targeted audience (I’ve noticed most kid shows don’t use adults as main characters).

I’m getting more used to the faces, but the human-like teeth still freak me out.
