Nah my headcanon is Tales era IS the earliest point. There’s a reason there’s no Unicorn or Pegasi. They don’t Exist Yet! Bright Eyes and co stumble onto magic and make a golden age…that goes straight to hell years after they pass, resulting in Gen 1 and later Gen 4. And Gen 3 is just a bad candy dream Pinkie has.
Headcanon ahoy: the Uncharted Old Woods are the remnants of Dream Valley’s Shadow Forest in G1/Tales time, but its old magic lies dormant in this era of televisions and microwave ovens. Bright Eyes and her friends halt its destruction, and much of it regrows during the G2/G3 eras’ fall of civilization and rediscovery of magic to become the Everfree Forest we know in G4.
