I sleep nude the whole year (I may wear socks on cold nights at winter).

For that case (specifically); you wake up in the last game you played that had at least one "chapter", "stage", "cut scene" or other clearly defined point of development from where you can not backtrack normallly. NOTE: Tutorials do not count.

Sunset Shimmer won her first "Spring Fling" with a smile in her face. The second "win" she got was on her first "Fall Formal"; here is when she started to become mean and manipulative (this is where that baloon Mabel Pines got "backstabbed"). By the time of the "Last Spring Debacle"; she had no other choice but to sabotage Rarity´s popularity to win. EQG1 starts days before Sunset Shimmer´s second Fall Formal. The portal opens once every 30 moon cycles FROM THE EARTH SIDE (about 2 and a half years); as It would mean nothing if Princess Luna talked about "moons" from the Equestria side ( since it was data Princess Twilight should known in case SHE MISSED IT, for her to come back then). -> Since Sunset came from Equestria (a little AFTER the time for a "Spring Fling"); she either did not participated on that same first year´s Fall Formal, or she lost it (this assuming those events already existed back then, as we did not see any other photos of any other girl in Principal Celestia´s office). If we assume this first year is when the humane five met and took that early yearbook photo (the "freshman year"); then they remained friends through the next year (sophomore) without incident; with their friendship being broken by Sunset on their third year [just previous to EQG1]. -> The events of the 4 movies happened in this "third highschool year" that is probably the 10th ;as it is implied in "Forgotten Friendship" that Wallflower Blush met Sunset Shimmer [in 9th] after Sunset joined C.H.S. (but not necesary "as soon as" she came from Equestria, since Sunset had no real NEED to go to school inmediatly, she probably waited for the begining of the next scholar year).

This is a myth. The only variation in the budget happened between Season 1 (plus The Return of Harmony two-parter) and season 2. The reason we got "improvements" overtime [besides the FLASH software and DHX computers getting better]; is because part of the budget was always dedicated to "research and development" of new assets and techniques that get either incorporated or discarded for the "mass production". Some early examples is a "dynamic shadow projection" used for a single scene in S1E02 [Rainbow Dash spooking the rest of the mane six in the Everfree Forest]; that was only reused 50 episodes later in S4E03 (since it required as much work to do it right as making a new asset/animation from scratch just for that scene); getting superseeded by another more flexible one by season 5.

Think of it this way... For (whatever reasons) you become a greek demigod and move to Mount Olympus to enjoy your inmortality. Since now your body is both inmune to the elements (you always feel comfortable no matter what) and a symbol of perfection; it is expected [yet not enforced] for you to show it with pride (naked) all the time. Since you have still the choice to wear any clothes, would you? Twilight feels exactly the same about the "Princess Regalia". Rarity would digress, but she is a weirdo (for pony standards).

A backstory about their deaths ? Nope. Never. Everything else about them before ? Maybe. -> There are "other worlds" in MLP:FiM; so we may even get a meeting of Applejack with the dopplegangers of her parents.

By creating a completely disconected universe with different rules and history. Counter-example: MLP:FiM and Equestria Girls are NOT "different generations" (technically speaking, each one is a diferent franchise; it is just coincidental that the first 3 EQG movies are also a CROSSOVERS with MLP:FiM). It is common on MLP to "recycle" names and color schemes of characters into the new generation [nothing from the "original" one carries over]; because HASBRO is a toy company that keeps making some of the same toys even years after "the tv show" that promoted them finished. For example, the G3!Scootaloo has G3!Cheerilee as her sister (both are sold well on Europe by colectors), but that did not influenced the current show at all. The "CMC" Scootaloo was not even on Cheerilee´s class at the school until after they met Applebloom [who is a G4 original character]; as there was no relationship between them other than their models and names being "required to be" in the current tv show so HASBRO would not lose their eclusive TRADEMARKS (like how it happened with other ponies like Surprise).

(Technically speaking) That episode of the "digital series" only requires "Friendship Games" [EQG3]; since nothing from EQG4 is referenced in it [he could be just a random love interest for Sci!Twi, just like Flash with pony!Twilight]. -> In that case, the only "spoiler" would be he does not suffocate under the vines in the 4th movie (or maybe he was revived? xD ).

It is "technically" better on multiple aspects (but so was the case for Friendship Games). About 4/5 of the "votes" on popular brony sites like this forum are splitted between Rainbow Rocks and Legend of Everfree (with opinions about what is the "best" being varied). Good songs on both. - - - - - - You should check the "prequels shorts" for Rainbow Rocks (how they formed their band), the "encores" of Rainbow Rocks (there are MORE than those 3 videos liked by CiberHoof). Also check the "BLOOPERS" and deleted scenes (DVD) for Friendship Games. "Legend of Everfree" only has a blooper reel as "extra".

In my opinion, it is unfair to compare a would-be-for-DVD-movie like Rainbow Rocks [that also depends of EQG1 for continuity]; with the longer teathrical "pony movie" (that was in principle ment to be seen independently from the FiM mother series). -> Maybe if you compare the combo EQG1&2 as a whole then... (ignoring the visual/music money update, storywise...)

It is a Josh "blame him" Haber movie... it is understandable =P

You should always check the credits (usually with good music), because at the middle of them (or just after) there is always a final "extra scene" or animation added "for the fans" [the DVD versions of Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games had those plus deleted scenes on the extras].

The next 3 "Equestria Girls Specials" (Dance Magic, Movie Magic, Mirror Magic <- In that order); are losely inspired on episodes of Season 4. If you do not care for the "imported spoilers" from Equestria´s seasons 5/6 of FiM coming through the mirror; you can watch all "Equestria Girls" content as soon as you finish Season 3 [that is a half season with just 13 episodes anyways]. -> Then you can "get the references" when you watch S4 of pony =)

Few had done this "sync route" between the girls and the ponies [since it was not available until 2016]... Since you do not care about spoilers... I would like to ear (read) about your experience with both "series" [Equestria Girls & Friendship is Magic] by the time you finish with the content of the former and the season 3 of the latter [currently "half" of the content].
