If they do address it in the series again they yeah, it will be reconnected, I completely agree. Until then what has been said in the show is canon, you can’t just ignore it. It’s like the people that wanted to ignore anything with Twilicorn because Faust didn’t want it to happen.
 
And again, don’t focus on the “in Equestria”, that’s silly. I could go on to point out that they are in the crystal empire, not Equestria, that we have heard the phrase “what in the wide wide world of Equestria”, meaning that they use “Equestria” to mean “everywhere” yadi yada. Important thing is what was said before: everyone is surprised at an alicorn being born AT ALL, seems to have been deemed impossible til then, and AJ and Rare say that becoming an alicorn comes from earning it.

There’s nothing I don’t love about this picture.

Eew, politics.

I’m going to end this like a real Republican.
 
LUNA AND CELESTIA WERE BORN ALICORNS!  
ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS A LIAR/COMMUNIST/TERRORIST/LIBERAL!

>In the world.
 
I suppose YakYakistan, Saddle Arabia, the Dragon Zone and The Griffon Kingdom are not part of the world then, because those aren’t Equestria.
 
Like it was previously said, the writer of The Crystalling (Josh Haber) admitted he didn’t had the chance to soak himself in the series background enough and ended up “winging it”. That little detail in the dialogue about that being “beyond their understanding” will probably have other context in the future or be simply retconned.

The ponies are surprised than an alicorn was born at all, and so are Luna and Celestia. AJ and Rarity even say “you have to earn it”.  
But yeah, just focus on the “born in equestria” part, because that’s the important detail. It’s not like “in equestria” has been used to mean “in the world” before or anything.
 
I’m too sleepy or this kind of thing, not gonna bother.

@Ridley Wolf  
The official books and even the writers have said they were born alicorns. Not only that but the writer of that baby episode was a bit…new, he didn’t quite get his facts just yet.

@armadiloeater  
Luna and Celestia could very easily have been born before Equestria was founded.

@armadiloeater  
To stir the pot, how do you know that they were born in Equestria?

@armadiloeater  
Uh oh, here come the weasels.

@Amber  
From episode 1 season 6.  
Celestia: The birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen.  
Luna: It is beyond even our understanding.

@armadiloeater  

 
>Celestia and Luna were not born alicorns
 
That’s a nice assumption you have there.

Ah, siblings. One second, you can’t imagine life without them; the next, you want to send them to the moon for a millennium…

@Background Pony #592E  
Well, now it’s canon that Celestia and Luna were not born alicorns, so they could have very well been earth ponies.

Never got that far into a brawl, but one time my brother punched me in the gut when we were play fighting and I went down.

This reminds me of me and my sister XD

siblings, they’re always natural enemies.

@Background Pony #592E  
Pre-ascension - Artist’s head canon being that they were Earth Ponies way back when as fillies.

earth ponies ??
