How would fans react if g5 was actually g4.5?

Everyone seems to be expecting a "generation 5" once gen 4 ends, and that's all well and good because we really do need to end this gen and bring in some fresh faces, but what if Hasbro throws us a curve? What if what we get is like g1's soft reboot that produced "My Little Pony Tales" with new characters and new settings, which was still a part of g1, because the toyline stayed the same (thus making it still g1). So how would fans react to a soft, rather than a hard reboot? (which probably won't make any difference in the series, either way, since there's still a chance we'll get focus on new characters, but for collectors, maybe)

While this sounds cool in a hypothetical situation, there is no way in hell that I can see this happening. I'm thinking it's going to be some sort of reboot over G4 if anything. I know I for one will jump ship if something like G3.5 is made. Even then, if they still somehow mess up G4.5 or G5 or whatever, I will still have G4 to hold close to me.

Well G1.5 sucked, being an antithesis to what it's predecessor was. And Newborn Cuties, the soft reboot of a soft reboot (G3.5) of a soft reboot (Core six), damn near killed the entire franchise. 

So history isn't on our side, but maybe third time's the charm? As described in the OP, a soft reboot sounds a lot like a spin off. So focusing on different characters and locations but within the same universe would be very well accepted. 

Using the same names of characters and locations but changing personalities and designs would effectively be a hard reboot. Just like how every generation of MLP was a hard reboot of the last. And look how that's turned out for us so far.

If it's a soft reboot or spin off, this'll be my response 

FIM has still lots to offer with all the lore bait. They could easily make either with the next show.
