Description

(I am almost feeling half-terrible for posting this.)
 
Note: if you look closely at the beginning, you can see that one of the tribal ponies bears a striking resemblance to Sandbar.

Strange. I’d appreciate a link.
 
I’m basing my own view on MLWiki’s G1 pages, assorted collector blogs on Tumblr including heckyeahponyscans, and this thread on fimfiction (from dim and hazy memory). Fairly certain it’s a widespread consensus. I guess you’d call my specific take a whole-franchise-centric viewpoint, and I think I take that stance from being UK-based. The unique and semi-unique comics, collectibles, and audio discs/cassettes along with (er,) the actual toys pretty much were the G1 fandom over here, as I understand it. I don’t even know if either TV show was ever broadcast in the UK. There are folks who call Tales G1.5 too, but as a comics lover it’s all continuous G1, albeit with a slowly growing then quite sudden change of focus toward the end.
 
The tag here is “g1” anyway, which I’m OK with because it’s (er…) not connected to the messy graph’o’connections I call “g2” in any major way.

That’s not a way that the majority of collectors and fans think, and it creates more problems than it solves. Maybe it’s clearer and better to say that major generation numbers are a single sequence determined by major disconnects in the toylines, comics, TV shows, and other media taken all together. Minor generation numbers then seem to be about soft reboots.
 
It’s a real shame that there were no TV shows about the G2 ponies (Ivy, Clever Clover, Dainty Dove and that lot), but there were comics and other media. I don’t believe they referred back to any G1 stuff.
 
Sure, the TV shows’ MLP Tales and MLP ’n Friends didn’t share a common world or characters, but they can be linked through the toys and/or the comics quite well. It’s fun to speculate about Tales being a gated community or exclusionary city-state within the madness of Ponyland: then you get crossover oddities like Tuneful the Bard dodging the cops and hiding her horn to hang out with Melody, or Dazzleglow evading Ponies in Black just for a fleeting and risky glimpse of her long-lost foundling daughter~

I meant the show was G2 - it came years after My Little Pony ‘n’ Friends, with a completely new setting, new characters, and no relation to the previous show.
 
Basically, I see the toy lines and shows as two separate lines of generations: for toys, there are the G1 ponies (which featured characters from the G1 and G2 shows), G2 ponies (the lost gen as you described), G3 and G3.5 (we all know about those), and of course G4, whereas for the shows you’ve got MLP ‘n’ Friends as G1, My Little Pony Tales as G2, the unnamed G3 series of one-off episodes and movies (and the same for G3.5), and then of course MLP: FiM is G4.

How are you gonna mess up changing a 1 to a 2? It’s not much of a risk to take. You’re a user here, you should learn how to do something that basic. This site relies on users like you passing by and seeing that something needs fixing. So I hope in future you try it out.

As Something About Octavia said, this is G2 not G1. I try not to fiddle with tags because I’m afraid of messing them up however that G1 tag needs to be changed.

I remember this episode. One of the funniest things I had ever seen on tv back in the day. I still laugh when I think about it because the flapping legs bit always cracked me up. Admittedly, this is taken out of context though I feel I should point out.
