Pointing out the toys are never show accurate, no matter which generation.

G2 was never showed in TV because that was the part when ponies killed the humans.

One thing I've always been curious about. Was G3 well received, and G3.5 was just so bad that it nearly killed the franchise, as their amount of time that both were on sale on sale imply?

G3 was never on TV either, just a few VSH releases.

G3 and 3.5 look more similar to the toys than G4

It's just always been that the shows were based on the toy designs.

What about My Little Pony Tales? Was that part of G1 or G2?

I still think the ponies' legs in G3.5 look incredibly swollen. It's kinda nasty.

Tales was 1992, predating the G2 toy design by about five years.

The toys are accurate. It's the cartoon that is not accurate; the toys are the original.

Two thoughts:

- The major style change occurred between G3 and G3.5, notably larger heads/eyes. The newer design appears to have been influenced by the influx of anime, like a lot of cartoons during the '00s.

- Despite everyone loving G4 and despising G3.5, those two generations are the closest to each other in design. Basically, G4 is G3.5 with the obvious anatomical and animation flaws removed.

From what I've gathered, G3 introduced the small "Ponyville" figurines with the sculpted hair, flattened faces, and shrunken torsos, and G3.5's Ponyville figurines were basically just a minor update to that mold--except, they also changed the brushable-hair sized ponies to look like that too.

The problems with G3.5 didn't have so much to do with visual design as with story, character, and the lack thereof. They were made for kids, to kids with very very little crossover appeal because there wasn't much there but fluff.

That only has to do with the animated releases; if a kid's just playing with the toys, they can mix and match any generation and still have just as much fun with them.

This reminds me about that G.I Joe/MLP crossover one of the writers wanted to make.

G4 is for kids too. G3 wasn't supposed to be a real series, it was supposed to be an advertisement for the toys and entertainment for little kids who played with said toys.
