actually she's more of a proto 4th gen, L Faust wanted to use the surprise design.

She was named Surprise, looked like Surprise, had Surprise's personality, is Surprise.

SAD but true, they hate older versions, but we cant explain loving g1 version ponies in the g4 version.

This.. So very much.

Seriously, almost every image for Surprise is G1-less. No one bothers to tag her properly.

Just because she's popular and in G4 form doesn't mean she's any less of a G1 pony gone G4.

Why did I read 'fag her' instead of 'tag her'?

Anyways, don't really care about it.

But then the 90-odd people with "G1" filtered because they don't like the style end up missing her :(

(I mean, it's a decent argument. She is G1. But the tag has connotations which don't really match the fully G4 portrayal of her that we know and love.)

But she's still G1. It's their fault for filtering G1 out.

Applejack is G1 too, she must be labeled as such.

Spike is G1, G3 and G4, he must be labeled as such too.

Surprise never appeared outside of G1 though. Spike gets labeled as G1 and G3 if he's in G1 design, likewise Applejack only if she's in a G1 drawing.

You know you don't HAVE to draw Surprise with G4 Pinkie Pie's hairstyle, right?

^^^ Yes she did; the above drawing. Lauren's prototypes have nothing to do with G1 beyond it being the inspiration for their designs, which is exactly as much as G1 has to do with the current Applejack. Fan art that's clearly inspired directly by Lauren's prototypes, in turn, has nothing to with G1.

There's no reason to attach G1 tags to something that's actually a prototype G4 Pinkie Pie. If the image in question has a hairstyle closer to the G1 version or she has a bow on her tail or something like that, then that should have a G1 tag. But tagging every picture of Surprise with G1 is just like tagging every picture of Applejack with G1. The only difference is that Hasbro lawyers didn't allow the former.
