Will There Be Romance In My Little Pony G5?

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

The characters seem to me younger than the Mane 6, so it’s a strong possibility. I hope it’s kept to a minimum of so, romance tend to be more of a liability when portrayed in media 

[EpicEnergy 23,190]

Maybe, but I'm not sure. If there was any romance in it whether I would like it depends on how well it is executed.

[CaesarSalad 36]

Hopefully not, it'd be fine between secondary/background ponies but having it between main characters would suck

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

If there is, I hope it’s not a big part of it. It would just take time away from the more interesting possibilities.

It seems that may be the case, if the moment in the animated teaser is anything to go by, especially between Sunny and Hitch.

Yes, it looks that way. But I think it has to do with the 3D animation crew learning how to do things right. They were trying to have this "big brother best friends forever" cuteness going on, but the way Hitch's expression is done, it is adding a little bit too much into that scene.
I believe they will tone (tune/tweak) it down for the movie.

You're darn right they should, because nobody does it better than Arrow  

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

It seems too early to predict, but I hope for romance. I'm a sucker for romantic stuff, especially the way MLP did it in Season 2 and 7

...Except playfully shoving each other is not an indication of romance. The three are obviously good friends so to see two of them being playful is not anything to “go by”. 

This is the problem I have with these kinds of theories, some fans jump to conclusions based on a singular scene or line. It’s fine to wonder and hope but to say confidently, at this point in time, that the two will be probably into each other? No.

Agree with this 100%. People always look at these tiny details that obviously mean absolutely nothing and then come to these far fetched conclusions.

I mean there's romance in G4, so why not.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sunny and Hitch get together in the series.

Or her and Izzy

[Totally Nyx 36,016]

Oh gosh I hope not. Leave shipping to the fandom, that way if you don't like one, it wasn't canon anyway. Don't ruin something good. I couldn't stand any shipping episode in G4 except Hearts and Hooves Day.

[Pentium100 2,122]

I hope not. I can ignore the shipping fanfics, it would be harder to ignore shipping in canon.

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

Despite honoring G4, it’s clear they wanna make new dynamics in there which the Mane 6 hadn’t. We got a stallion, two princesses, which are sisters and closer to age than any of the Mane 6 who applied to. With that, romance is possible 

[Miss 6,228]

I would say I don't mind if there is romance. I didn't mind it in G4 as long it's built up correctly and not just random af. And there were some decent romance moments in G4

Spike and Gabby, Big Mac and Sugar Belle

Tho the former was random it never went super serious romance anyway. But either way great episode. 

I was waiting for either Rarity and Applejack or Starlight and Trixie or something that we saw get developed for a while. It didn't happen and that's fine, but then in the finale we see Sandbar and Yona and it's like bruh we don't even know about Sandbars aspirations etc. And Applejack and Rainbow Dash out of nowhere like come on. 

If Sunny and Izzy get together that'd be nice. I feel like the movie really built up this great dynamic between the two. From the main group, Id probably only want one couple and then someone in group have a romance outside of the main group. 

I can't stand when shows have to ship every character in the end like romance is the end all be all. Really liked that Rarity was with anypony at the end tho I was hoping the single status would be reserved for Rainbow Dash. 

[Pearly Marshmallow 399]

I'm in for some romance, as long as it's well made. I think it was kept in good levels in G4, so why not? 

[Sherem 4,807]

up to the creators, but I wouldn't suggest it until some bases should be worked between the interactions

[Star_Quake 28]

I hope not, I like the idea of everyone staying friends with each other but having romances with other bg ponies or at least implied love interests. 

[Tao 7,599]

I don't think some add in of romance would be bad at all for the show coming up.    We had a lot of side ponies get some of it and even married in later seasons as the show went on.

[Cash In 22,232]

I dunno actually. I feel like it would be safer not to do that, but I could see it happening. It's pretty much a coin toss at this point.

[Misty Shadow 7,848]

If there is, it will very likely be between Sunny and Hitch, and not just because of what the creators want or because it seemingly always happens with childhood friends. 

It seems that is what the fans who want romance in the show would want to. 

[Malarkey 45]

I don't think there will be, because modern kids' shows don't often do romance nowadays. 

For example, Branch and Poppy confessed their love for each other in Trolls World Tour, but in the subsequent series (TrollsTopia) there is no indication they're in love from what I've seen.

I personally think pony romance in G5 would be adorable, but I won't be disappointed if there isn't any, because I'm not really expecting it.
