G4 is creppty

@Yet One More Idiot  
I can’t believe they made MLP games before the GBA era.
 
And I know Tales was released during the late G1 era. Most people just refer to it as a G2 product on a technicality due to it following the G1 animated series and predating G3.

@XD-385  
Oh I can respect an entirely slice-of-life setting as well, it’s just not what I think of when I think of MLP. :)
 
Yeah, the marketing during that series would’ve been a bit over all the place, trying to advertise characters in this very much more normal world to little girls who were used to the fantasy of the earlier stories.
 
(although actually Tales was late G1 - G2 ponies had a rather different style that was never used on-screen, but did get some dolls and a videogame)  

@Yet One More Idiot  
I can respect an entirely slice-of-life setting. What undermines G2 is that they weren’t certain on how to sell the premise at the time.

@XD-385  
Wellll…and I know this is just my opinion, but as I made this meme based on my opinions, I’ll explain:
 
I made my rankings based on taste, and my taste leans towards the more magical, adventurous MLP stories. While I did really enjoy MLP Tales, it was a fun series with some great stories, it was 100% slice-of-life (or maybe 99.9% lol) and, well…no adventure or magic.
 
Tbh I wanted to put Tales in a tie with Twinkle Wish Adventure, but that would’ve just made it messy. xD

Swap Tales with 3.5 and it’ll be accurate.

G3.5 my little pony yes g3.5 my little pony newborn cuties they are babies ponies why the no brain?

@Fizzy the G1  

 
Indeed! Love your username and avatar, Fizzy rocks! =^^=

G1 remains supreme

Yeah so rude to newborn cuties😡

@nano821  
No newborn cuties is adorable 🥰

If all of MLP was like Rescue at Midnight Castle (minus how rushed it was) the series would’ve likely been more popular

Lyra Heartstrings is a big fan of G1, since it has humans,  
so she expanded the last panel, in the human art style. (Plot-twist)

@Yet One More Idiot  
Ah. Okay. ^^

@TheMultiBrony21  
As much as I enjoyed MLP Tales, it was basically normal world type stories, but with the characters all drawn as ponies. The whole series was “slice of life” which isn’t bad in moderation, but it just didn’t really grip because of it. G3 and G3.5 at least reintroduced the fantasy elements to the franchise. :)

Interesting.
 
So, why is Pony Tales above G3?

@Amethyst_Crystal  
Thank you. :)

I want to fave or upvote this but I feel bad ranking the different pony gens lol  
It’s definitely tempting to say the very first special had the very best pony designs, at least.

@redweasel
 
Yes it is, thank you for noticing. :)

that sure is an opinion you have there.

@Lord Mega
 
You’re very welcome. :)

Yup.

@Yet_One_More_Idiot  
oh, well the art styles look almost exactly the same.
 
also, one of the few times when its good someone doesn’t live up to there name. lol, thanks man.

@Lord Mega
 
No, the last one is the classic G1 My Little Pony, they were more pony-like in behaviour and had much neater on-screen designs, and the stories were magical fantasy. The second one is My Little Pony Tales, the characters were more human-like in action (using front legs/hooves as arms/hands, living in a human-like society) and there was no magic at all in these stories. You could basically swap the ponies out for human characters without affecting the story at all.

@Yet_One_More_Idiot  
Newborn Cuties, I Don’t think the Episodes is Final Releases Design, Because The Commercial Much Cuter than NC.
 
NC Seems like a Dumping Design or Private Buggy Design
