Because of Spike's bond being different than the CMC's bond. That and its his choice to wanting to hang out with his sister's friends Making Spike a dog because they can't figure out his relationship with Twilight is downright moronic. Due to they are answering with "he's a pet, lol". Its like someone struggling to find an answer but end up blurting out something really dumb instead. Really, just say he's her brother in the human world. Its that bloody simple. Its not worship territory. Because loophole, like Wallflower doesn't even know about him(due to either Sci-Twi's hypocrisy leading her to not bring him or he's stuck in a backpack too much) And her specifying the stone to take only the students and teacher's memories, Spike isn't a student. And yet the writers squandered that. Even with the oppertunities Spike has as a dog, they muck it up. He would still have a bond with the other Mane 5, problem is the writers muck it up by not properly exploring it. At least Fluttershy got powers, be part of that chosen ones bond, GOT TO DO STUFF and be included. Spike can't have that all because he's stuck as a freaking dog. Unlike the Mane 5, its dumb how Spike didn't get to meet his counterpart since dragon Spike and pony Twilight were the only ones from Equestria(that has counterparts) that visited the human-world. Isn't really fair Sci-Twi met hers TWICE but Sci-Spike doesn't get to not even once. Sci-Twi would just have Owlicious. Pony Twilight literally has an owl as a pet. Spike did not need to be a pet. Or at least have Sci-Twi use a robo-bird or something, since Pinkie had a plushie in place of Gummy since she can't have a real gator unlike her pony counterpart Not really. Since Spike is still badly restricted HARD. Can't even interact with anyone outside of the Rainbooms. Them choosing to not bring Spike because of fear is really not fair for him really.

Problem is, they are never gonna fix it. Meaning might as well say the memory loss is permanent. I feel the same way, ESPECIALLY that last part. My fear came true but much worst actually.

That I am unsure. They seriously should have explained this instead of downright pretending it never happened(looking at you, Season 10 comics and Gen 5 -_-)

Honestly they need to fix the damage they did to Spike(and other stuff) before they should pretend its not part of Gen 4. Its like a wound but instead of treating it, just plain ignoring it.

I am glad Spike showed up for real in Gen 5 and is Dragon Lord. But I don't like his design, the fact his memory is never gonna be returned due to the hibernation Twilight did to him and the fact he is only there as exposition and be a absolute failure to prop up the new heroes. He barely got to be a hero and the fact he now must be worf-effect bait is just horrible. They did him horrible here.

About Gen 5 having to break away from Gen 4. Sadly its too late for that. It made its bed and must lie in it. Breaking away now will cause further damage due to not only their crippled linked to Gen 4 due to ABSOLUTELY STUPID copyright stuff, but also the damage they did to Gen 4. Such as Spike's only appearance is being only for exposition and a failure to prop up the new heroes, how his and Mane 6's hard work basically got ruined by Opaline, etc. Its a wound they inflicted and must be treated, not pretended that it was never there in the first place.

I wished they actually explored this instead of pretending it never happened afterwards(looking at you, Season 10 comics and Gen 5)

1. He would actually get to interact more with others and be easier to do stuff and be a actual character than a PROP. 2. Pretty sure if they added that younger students can come, he would still be allowed to hangout with Sci-Twi due to being his older sister 3. He CAN accomplish something if the plot allows it. Like helping Starlight get the mirror or giving a helping hand 4. They used different VAs when having characters since iirc. So they can do the same for Spike. And it probably look pretty adorable seeing him being able to play something while in the band 5. He would probably still help Sunset anyway(especially if Wallflower forgot to take his memories, which is ironic since she's angry people basically forgot/never notice her) 6. Spike can still contribute by just joining in on the fun properly. 7. Spike would still be there and actually get to meet his dragon counterpart(something the show wasted the chance to while Sci-Twi got to meet hers TWICE) 8. Still be involved and actually do something though, and probably end up listening to Sunset about the loops. 9. He would most likely get to be there for the activities anyway that intersect and probably participate in something Spike being human will do him ALOT more prominent since he is not just THERE like a prop. Like has the actual potential to do something and such. Fluttershy would still bond with him due to being adorable little guy who helps her with the animals Pinkie Pie might find it fun planning hilarious stuff since kids around Spike's age are mischevious Rarity would surely appreciate his help and such even if the whole "Spike's crush on Rarity" is missing, and appricate him hanging out with her little sister Applejack might like to see him as a little brother too that helps out with chores or hanging out with Applebloom. Rainbow Dash might like to show off her awesome skills and such for another fan just like with Scootaloo Spike has it much worse than Fluttershy's case Spike being a DOG IS the reason why his role was so badly limited. Most of the time he's either THERE like a prop, unable to interact with characters outside of the Rainbooms, so many times Sci-Twi forgets she can break the "no pets allowed" rule(freaking hypocrite she is), so many times he has to stay in the backpack. So many stuff he can't do because he's a dog No, the thing with Scooby is not really the same as Spike's case. Dog Spike REALLY DOESN'T WORK.

Him actually get to do stuff and explore his bond with the girls

Well he be allowed to be involved more and get to do more as a human

He would most likely be the human CMC age. There's really nothing questionable about a guy hanging out with a bunch of girls, especially if one of themis his sister. Human Spike could just sneak in at Prep. While plot would change so freshman can come to the trip.

So according to a clip , dragons were all sleeping due to magic going away. Twilight basically screwed them over it seems. So now their fates belong to the ponies if said ponies play nice or not?

There is nothing wrong with a guy hanging out with a bunch of gals as friends

Hopefully he isn't all old/wrinkly and also not there soley to be a dude in distress/victim to prop up Opaline

They really did not think this through when they reduced him to a dog

Then the portal is a moron since Spike can easily help/follow Twilight as a human

They really messed Spike up by making him a dog.

Or.. just give him the ability to become human at will

Spike really should have been human instead of a dog. He's basically stuck as a prop

They really messed up by making him a dog

They really screwed Spike's potential by making him a dog

Is there a link to the fic?

Which makes no sense WHY his counterpart is already a dog though No, its doesn't fit Spike's role by making him a dog No it doens't make sense He's essentially the adopted little brother to Twilight. He's not their pet, he's freaking SAPIENT as everyone else in Equestria

Wished Spike did get a human form
