If this post doesn't belong here the could someone move it to the appropriate location. Thanks.

Okay I know many have made post such as what are you going to do after the show ends, or do you think the fandom will die, etc.

This post is not like that. At least not for the most part.

First of before I begin I want to say that I believe the series will last for a while. I don't think it's going away sometime soon.

We know the show will end someday (sadly ), but it will always have a special place in my heart and mind as one of the greatest cartoons ever made.

Anyway after the show end, and considering the success of the current generation, the series will be rebooted.

Admit it. If (and I think this will be the case) MLP: FIM is successful till the end, then the MLP series will be rebooted for G5.

Okay now that I have your attention I have question.

What Kind of Show do you want G5 ponies to be? I know it's going to Be a long time till that happens, but this is all for fun so work with me. So what do you want to see for G5 ponies?

Let me start to give you an idea.

I for one am looking for the sequel approach.

What do I mean?

Let me give you an example (note this is the best example I could find so don't hate me). For those who don't know in 2012 Nick released a cartoon called "The Legend of Kora". What about it you ask? Well it's a direct sequel to "Avatar the last Airbender". The series takes place year after the original series. The show however is it's own series. The series has writers, artist, etc. from the old series and The show sometime has references to its predecessor, but in all honesty it is it's own show. It has its own characters, its own setting, and its own storyline. You don't have to watch the original series to enjoy this show. It has references that fans of the old show will get, but new comers are still able to enjoy the new series.

This is sorta the approach I want Hasbro to take when they consider doing the G5 pony series. To be a sequel to MLP: FIM.

Let me explain what I mean.

The show should have its own set of cast. It could be another group of 6 I guess. For their personalities I want them to be more unique. They could be similar to the old cast, but if they were exactly the same that would be boring. They should each be unique to show improvement in the series.

The setting should obviously be in the future, but as for where I don't know. It could be a future in a town we already know, or a completely new part of Equestria. As for how many year in the Future, well if we want cameo appearances of the older cast then it should be only a couple years in the future.

Which brings me to my next point. Yes I think it should have some references or nods to the older series. Maybe have a cameo appearance of one of the older cast of characters. I however don't think they should do this too often, in order to show that this is a show by itself. Should there be nods to the older show? Yes, but not too much that it makes the new show look like it depends on the older generation. It should be a show all on its own. I think the new show should have its own set of characters minor an major to show that it's a show all on its own.

Art and story wise? I think that consider the success of FIM I believe that they should have no trouble bringing some of the old cast to make this new series. The art style could be the same to show reference to the old generation, but that's just me.

In short if Hasbro did this I think it would be a good idea. It would bring new content so that a new generation can enjoy the show. It will also have some of the old to get the attention of us Bronies that love the G4 series an may make us give this new series a chance. This way the Brony community could last longer and a new generation may come.
