I remember watching G3 MLP when I was a kid, at the time I liked it and used to watch it a lot on DVD. It's been a while since I watched it.

I remember seeing G1 MLP film on laptop when I was younger.

Same here!

I saw the Generation 1 special, Rescue at Midnight Castle, and I remember seeing the trailer for the Generation 3 special, A Very Minty Christmas, a few times as a kid.

I am gradually watching My Little Pony Tales atm.

It's somewhat dated, therefore it makes me feel dated, because I was very much watching cartoons when it was brand new. 

Also, there is only so much Clover that one can take in a single sitting, so I have to pace myself. Some of the things that are said and some of the characterizations would not fly today. But, it's like root beer, the more I watch it, I start to like it more.

I remember watching a couple of gen 1 episodes when I was a really little kid (They were a little older by then, but my family always had a lot of old dvds and vhs tapes lying around) including "The Quest of the Princess Ponies" and "The Golden Horseshoes". I don't remember particularly having a favorite gen 1 episode. We also had the three episode box set dvd of "Positively Pink", "Come Back, Lily Lightly", and "Two for the Sky" from gen 3. Of the gen 3 episodes I watched, I remember liking "Come Back, Lily Lightly" the most and "Two for the Sky" least. To me, the reveal that Star Flight and Heart Bright gaining wings was all a dream was a bit cliche and confusing, especially when you consider the fact that this is all happening inside a book read by Storybelle. Little me was like "So, you're telling me that not only is this not real, but it's not even real in the not real world..."

I watched the first 15 or 16 episodes of MLP'n Friends, I wasn't enjoying it enough to keep watching. Never watched Generations 3 and 3.5, for me it feel even less interesting based on the clips I saw and what I heard about them. Now, Generation 2 had a show???

Technically, no. There was a *second* Gen 1 show called My Little Pony Tales. Gen 2 didn't occur until a few years later, and it didn't get a show. The ponies in G2 had a very distinctly different appearance, being far taller and thinner. They had comics, toys, and a video game, but no show. My Little Pony Tales had a completely different *setting* from My Little Pony 'n Friends, as it was a modern-like setting rather than a pseudo-historical one, but the character designs were very much Gen 1 ponies.

I completed my previously mentioned watch of all pre-generation 4 episodes a while back, and I don't know if I'll ever bother watching any of it ever again.

One of the friend groups I'm in did a whole watchthrough of the G1 specials, and we're occasionally working our way through G3. It was interesting to see that G1 had a lot of actual adventure to it, and I found it enjoyable if a bit silly at times. G3, on the other hoof... yeah, that was a rough. Not even a unicorn until pretty far into it, and zero actual story.

I watched G3 when I first got into MLP and it was my first encounter with the franchise
