Description

If a stuffed animal can be counted as a pet, why couldn’t Sunset get that… or a toy?

Well, even though they were not introduced until Rainbow Rocks, were Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops present at the Fall Formal offscreen? You might wanna think back at one of the Summertime shorts titled “A Photo Booth Story” where Pixel Pizazz was seen attending the Fall Formal as the short took place during the first movie, despite making her debut in Rainbow Rocks.

On the other note; how an animal/pet calendar mixed with a stuffed animal is going to work ?
 
Did Fluttershy just let Pinkie include Gummy for the photoshoot to make the moment “cuter” ?

I suspect that the crystal cave in LOE is ancient and not a byproduct of the broken portal.
 
We are in agreement that magic was in this world before EQG1.
 
But it seems to have been there in limited quantities (the Sirens were severely depowered before they found the girls).
 
So for all intents and purposes, this was a normal world before the franchise started.

SciTwi not getting an Owlowiscious is due to Spike being made a dog from the first movie and I just find it weird to try to be realistic with pets due to the things that happen in universe. I’m in between on finding this not surprising and amusing and sad there is no toothless gator running around.

Not only has Gummy been a plushy in EQG for years now. Pinkie runs on her own rules, it makes sense for her to consider a plushy her pet. Her sister has a rock, for Celestia’s sake.
 
And it also makes sense that Fluttershy would include him in the picture, we’ve see her petting him like a real animal before.

@Q.E.  
But then she’d be the only one with a different companion than her pony world counterpart. Even SciTwi didn’t get a replacement for the owl whose name I can’t spell, since Spike is present in both worlds just like the pets.
 
But the biggest reason is probably simply that having Gummy be a stuffed toy in this world is funny.

Bah, I don’t know. This feels just out of place and unnecessary. It’s still a cartoon you know, I don’t think somebody would have done some heavy complaining about a cartoon character owning a real pet alligator. At this point they could have made him a plushie even in the original series in the first place…

Yup, Pinkie Pie has the unfortunate distinction of her pony counterpart having a pet that can’t actually be kept by a human without special permits and a ton of money to take care of properly (an alligator has a lot of space and environmental requirements). So its simpler to just give her a stuffed animal version.
