if you can bring back one character from previous generations to g5 who will itbe and why?

the power is amazing but choose carefully only one pony will be added

 

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

I’d bring back any out of the Mane Six. I don’t mind who. I’d love for all of them fo come back though but that’s greedy.

[Tao 7,606]

If i had to bring back one pony who I think would do the most for that world now in its setting: 

I feel given Sunny getting a mentor would help heal from the lost of her dad and Princess Sunbutt also knows how to deal with a lot.

Shock of the century, I'd bring Sombra back if they don't intend to bring him back after all. He makes sense to be brought back as "the Lich of MLP" after all, they still need to finally do him right. Besides the painfully predictable, I'd also like Chrysalis back from stone and all of the princesses back as spirits to guide Sunny.

Slight typo.

I'd bring back Doctor Whooves, at least as a cameo. I just like the idea that he's an actual time traveller.

[Pentium100 2,122]

Sunset Shimmer - it could even be explained as the magic returning has screwed up the mirror connection so that it now works across time (say, 10 years have passed in the EG word, Sunset decides to visit Twilight and ends up in G5).

Starlight Glimmer could also return - she is known to experiment wit time travel, let's say one experiment went wrong and sent her far in the future (G5) with no easy way back.

I would bring back discord because he is an extremely old and powerful being, so it would make sense for him to be immortal. While returning one of the alicorns would also work, I do not see how one of them could be brought back with the other ones just disappearing, so that possibility is out.  Additionally, the ponies in the movie have demonstrated discord extremely well that they should write an essay about it. Finally, my personal headcanon as a Trekkie is that something happened long ago between the generations so ponies started losing their magic, causing discord to be bored and moving through the mirror or just dimension hopping to a Star Trek universe as Q, while being able to return when ponies became interesting to him again, which may be caused by them regaining their magic.

Not sure why, but I feel like Zecora would be an interesting character to bring back. She'd still be the same Zecora like in Gen 5, living deep in the woods, mixing herbs and stuff, except she'd be older and more wiser. Maybe she would share her wisdom with the Gen 6 characters, like she did with the Gen 5 characters.

[Orchid_Fiore 200]

Discord, because I love him and I want to know how he dealt with Fluttershy's death (yes, I like drama).

[Emerald Claus 24,850]

I'd say Surprise or Minty.

[eventyraren 180]

Spike, an elder wiser one that can be the mentor of the new 5

[twilightlicious69 629]

BRING BACK THE DERP HORSE!

[MrProfesser 4]

BET ID BRING ALL OF THEM AND PRINCESS CELESTIA AND PRINCESS LUNA 

[MrProfesser 4]

BRING BACK THE APPLEJACK GANG 

[Hellfire428 34]

Chrysalis, lord tirek and king zombra. Would really make g5 intresting.

[JMTV99 1,352]

For me, I had to go with Spike.

[FlitterFlutter 1,583]

I'm going to have to go with Flitter. There is really no reason other then she is cute. 

 

[phantompone1148 126]

There’s actually a couple I could bring back into G5.

 

 

Spike and Discord: I actually have a feeling they could still be around in this new generation. Plus, a dragon’s lifespan is way longer than a normal pony’s lifespan.

Flurry Heart: We never got to see her in the final episode of G4. Maybe G5 could be her time to shine.

 

[twilightlicious69 629]

@phantompone1148 Flurry heart should actually come back. I have this headcanon that when Twilight's rule ended, the crystal empire froze again, with Flurry heart. And when Sunny brought back magic, the shockwaves brought back the crystal empire. If this is true, then Flurry could be Sunny's guide!

[Skylight Scintillate 2,009]

I think that if Twilight showed up in G5 it would be quite interesting, but I wouldn't want a repeat of the pillars of Equestria thing.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Give me Sombra! I can see him quite easily causing a sever mess of things in G5-era Equestria. 

[Splashee 28,563]

I only have one character in mind:

Spoiler

The very best of G4

[Solar Power 295]

I'm hoping Tirek, Cozy Glow and Queen Chrysalis get released and return in generation 5, but since you said only one can return.....I'll go for Cozy Glow.

[mlploverlizzy 291]

As a Twilly super fan, I think I gotta go with Twilight 

[SergioFernandez 33]

Spike, I think he's been a pretty wasted character considering he's a dragon. He would contribute a lot to the lore of the series and they could redeem him as a character, now being someone more mature and even as a teacher for the mane 5
