I've been wondering, due to having far too much imagination and an idle mind. This thought came to me after realizing yet again that the Pokemon Franchise is one that is approaching its 10th generation of mainline series games, after the franchise has been around for 28 years, and has become THE biggest grossing franchise on the planet. Meanwhile, the My Little Pony brand and franchise is going on 44 years old in 2025 and is heading toward its 6th generation. I can't see the pony brand going anywhere anytime soon, but some part of me does wonder- what if MLP took Pokemon's place as the highest grossing franchise? How different would the brand and fandoms surrounding each generation be? Would there even be any differences?
