heavens-champion 1,905 December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 (edited) Do you guys think Hasbro should keep the names from G4 in G5? Edited December 27, 2018 by heavens-champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Solace 5,132 December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 If they are going to change the names, I think G5 won't be the MLP we know right now. 2 ~Twilight x Midnight~ Ask Midnight I'm not a bad pony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonkett 345 December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 They'll just keep the names while adding new ones, it's been like that since G1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that more or less a given thing regardless of if they change the names or not? I mean, the names are the least of the things they're gonna change. There's talk about Twilight being an earth pony, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky Pinkie 39 December 28, 2018 Share December 28, 2018 I can't even remember the names of the student 6. How am I supposed to remember the new names of the mane 6 then? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacodidra 61,516 January 2, 2019 Share January 2, 2019 (edited) It depends. If the characters kept their personalities and were recognizable as the same ponies as their past selves, keeping the names would be a good idea. But if they were going to change them drastically, I'd rather see them use completely new names.

How am I supposed to remember the new names of the mane 6 then? Same here. I think one was called Boulder? Spoiler I predict it will be a division between G4 and G5 anyways. If the old names are left in G5, Bronies of the older generation will have difficulty protecting their known characters from the newer generation of fans (they will come up with some cool name to call themselves). But if the new generation has new names, the fanbase will be split anyways, into two groups, with only a narrow part of it liking both generations. Remember, new kids in the 8 year old range will claim G5 as unique and good (world changing!), and they will have priority over us on how to interpret their precious MLP characters that they will grow up to. But on the other side, we have public Bronies that lives off their Youtube channels, and they will try to claim MLP too (we know Hasbro, we know the voice actors, we know it was meant for us). Only in a perfect world of harmony will there be just one group of happy people. G5 should be called G5 only if it is completely a new take on G4 or MLP. Else it will be some G4.5 stuff that I am sure will end up being confusing. I am of course staying for the drama. *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepul-Coloratura 762 April 6, 2020 Share April 6, 2020 (edited) G5 definately relies on G4's success and it's fans, so the characters would be recognizable. If not, I would be more interested, becaust it means they got something to prove on their own. Edited April 6, 2020 by Sepul-Coloratura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicEnergy 23,239 July 12, 2020 Share July 12, 2020 I think they should either keep all the characteristics of the mane six or keep none of their characteristics. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Shadow 8,016 July 12, 2020 Share July 12, 2020 I don't see why they'd change their names. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, they've maintained that attitude for a lot of characters since G1, like Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Spike. It would also create needless issues with marketing, people prefer to buy toys based on characters with familiar names. Everyone loves Misty. For good reason, of course. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashee 28,581 July 12, 2020 Share July 12, 2020 Why do we need the name ponies amyways? Hasbro needs to create some new names and stereotypes for us to follow. We already had 9 seasons, humanized versions, and tiny cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
