From an EQD interview with Rebecca Dart:

When I read the script I had a very clear vision of what I wanted the character [Chrysalis] to look like. She was described as a gangly, black pegacorn with a gnarled horn, but with a name like Chrysalis I though she should be a bit insect-like, thus the carapace and transparent wings.

[bolding mine]

She was described to her, presumably by someone higher up the chain, as a "PEGACORN." I always liked pegacorn better anyway.

PPG wasn't a part of my childhood and I loved it. It was funny, man. That's all it had to be.

I miss Lauren Faust so, so much. These are such interesting ideas, and they sound like interesting "lessons" too. I miss theydays of lessons sometimes feeling mature and complex. And the days of characters acting out of character only to confirm it more. I loved that sort of contradiction.

I sill love FiM, but it's much simpler now.

But is there going to be a movie? Dangit, I want a movie so bad it hurts!

Bill Clinton.

or more realistically, Seth Green, since he's actually a Brony.

Oh weird, some of it has been resequenced. Like I say "I have talents!" after my talents have been spoken about.

OMG, I haaaaaate the sound of my own voice. Thank god my personality is so dang amazing.

oh, I get it.

You weren't being called a noob though.

Dessa was prefacing her post with the clarification that her picks were for those with no experience.

Yes, Weesh is correct. Brony#299, you have over 2000 posts. How on earth would you qualify as a noob?

Not necessarily the best, but the best showcase of a character for noobs.

Twilight: Winter Wrap Up

Pinkie: Griffon the Brush Off

Applejack: Applebuck season

Rainbow Dash: Sonic Rainboom

Rarity: Suited for Success

The Dells! Woo!

I kinda like how she looks there. It's cute!

Edit: In the packaging image Flutterscotch posted, that is.

I lied. I got it done later than that day. But here it is!

I'll update the bracket later.

Aaaaand on to the next:

Definitely the best version of the Zelda menu Theme.

And on that note, the best version of the Final Fantasy theme "Prelude":

Remember the Crystal Caves beneath Canterlot? Totally relevant. Calling it.

You may find your comments are most appreciated when spoken with more purpose.

Nope. Still considered g1 on most wikis and definitely among old school fans.

Really, it takes either a break of the line entirely, or a complete overhaul of the series, toys and related media like what we saw with friendship is magic to be considered a whole new generation. I mean, My Little Pony Tales was only one season, and only had the main 7 characters released as toys at the vey tail end of the line. It's a footnote in MLP history.

So basically, even if we focused on a new groups of characters all of a sudden, as long as the toys were the same and it took place in Equestria, it would still be considered g4.

That's the thing though, MLPT didn't take place in the same place. The whole world changed around them, and they even developed new powers (sticky hooves!). Meanwhile, the toys DID change, as well as the stories, between 3 and 3.5. It seems a bit arbitrary is all, although I suppose if I collected multi-generational toys it would make perfect sense.

Personally I don't know and only somewhat care because I heard that almost everbody thinks Tales sucks and don't plan to watch it.

It's not all that bad. I find it has a certain charm. I challenge you to do the Pony tour and watch one episode each from G1, Tales, G3, and g3.5. Know your history (and in some cases, suffer through it). It'll put hair on your chest.

So do old-school MLP fans still insist that the Friendship Garden ponies are g2, or have they buckled to pressure to call MLPTales G2?

Yes, I was talking about Bonnie. She confirmed @ mlp fair in 2008, during a Q&A. It was pretty much standard practice if you worked for a toy company, whatever you came up with belonged to them.

Also, WH, generations refers to the toys. People keep applying the term to the shows and that confuses the whole friendship gardens line, which did not have a show. The only reason g3.5 is called g3.5 and not g4 is because there was no break in the narrative for the line itself, but the main molds were redone for the toys. Unless we had a full reinvisionung of the story for the line, and the molds changed, it would still be considered a variation on g4. Until fim and a brand new type of fan happened, I did not come across a single person who considered my little pony tales the second generation.

So wait, the toys have narratives seperate from the shows? This post really confuses me.

I don't watch or care about Bleach anymore. I don't watch the English or Japanese version anymore.

Which is exactly the point. You used to care about Bleach, and now you don't because it went on and on and on.

8 seasons is too many. I'd put 5 or 6 as the upper limit. After some point, shows just go stale, no matter how good they are. Do we really want MLP to be the Simpsons, with a neverending stream of jokes we've heard a million times before?

Also, Flutterscotch, isn't Faust still listed as "creative consultant?" I know her creative unput these days is zero, but a credit would suggest she's still on a payroll.

There are too many to list! Way, way too many. I'll post 2 this time:

Surely the best 8-bit theme evar:

Something most of you probably haven't heard, but totally should:

"Special Reasons..."

Movie?

Also, if they did make a movie, is there any cahnce at all Faust could be involved? ...Please?
