general Is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series related to the MLP gen 4 series and if so how?

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

I believe this can be true because the pony world is made animals and Pokemon MD has, well, Pokemon, yet neither have humans present.

[Stardust 645]

I can't see the link tbh other than both have animal or animal like characters. If both worlds met I think there would be chaos. They feel more different than similar.

I thought tho keldeo looks like an mlp character lol
