TheMarkz0ne 962 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I want to see more of Cloudsdale. It sucks really. I remember only seeing Rainbow Dash's house for 3 seconds and we never seen it again. We don't even know of that is her parents house yet. I just want to see more cloudsdale episodes because ponyville is getting stale. I mean we have been to the apple family house a ton of times. Why not RD's turf? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I think it's because even though the show reflects on Equestria, Canterlot, and Ponyville. They might show more of Cloudsdale, with Rainbow Dash. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge 382 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Well one reason will be because only Pegasi can go there (unless you have wings made or a spell cast). But Sweet Apple Acres and Ponyville are easily accessible to all. I'm sure they will go there eventually, probably in a RD centric episode. I do admit I want to see more if RD's backstory beyond "I'm a good flier".

Phaeston-e12 173 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I don't remember an episode where the Mr. Mrs. Cake were shown. Were they any? Been looking for some reference of them in season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not RD's turf? Well, 'Dash's house' and 'Cloudsdale' are two different entities. Cloudsdale is the home of the Pegasi, it's the third primary city/town along with Canterlot and Ponyville. Dash's house is just her house, and it's not connected to Cloudsdale. It's been shown to be on the outskirts of Ponyville somewhere, above some grassland and a few dirt roads. (ie: 'Griffin the Brush Off') I think Cloudsdale is just the odd man out of the primary locations. None of the main characters live there, none of the secondary characters live there, etc. Meanwhile, all of the primary and many of the secondary characters live in Ponyville, and then you have Canterlot which has the Princesses and Shining Armor, and is a focal connection to the plot a lot of the time, thusly. It's too bad. I'd love to see more Cloudsdale too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudsdale is certainly one of the more unique locations in Equestria, and that is both what makes it so great but also so difficult to bring into very many episodes. Luckily we've got the fandom to expand upon these seldom seen locations, whether in art or fanfictions! Heck, if I get to "The Derp Knight Rises" down the road, I'm planning on having Cloudsdale play a significant role in that myself. But yeah, like you said, it makes sense, but it's also too bad that the show hasn't gotten to showcase Cloudsdale more. 3 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me.

Landi 600 January 12, 2021 Share January 12, 2021 I agree that CLoudsdale was very underutilized, for being one of the coolest, most unique, and most interesting locations in the entirety of the show. When Cloudsdale was first shown, it had so much potential. Not only was it a city in the clouds, but it was a central hub for pegasi and weather related industries. It was filled with epic nods to classical architecture and a pegasus society just waiting to be delved into. Despite this, the show didn't really go any further than that. There are only about five episodes (give or take) that have have a somewhat significant part take place in cloudsdale (at least over a minute of screen time there). That's less than both Canterlot and Manehatten, two cities which weren't as unique and interesting as Cloudsdale. It's just a lot of wasted potential. The only real reason I could guess for this is that only pegasi could go there, but even that is shaky. With a spell, non-pegasi can walk on clouds for a temporary period of time, so there isn't really an excuse for it. They simply underused and underdeveloped the place; so sad.

ExplosionMare 18,073 January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 Maybe the animators didn’t want to keep drawing multiple cloud spots Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landi 600 August 16, 2021 Share August 16, 2021 It appears that there were actually going to be two map episodes that took place in Cloudsdale, but they were unfortunately scrapped (Prism Break and The Princess of Stress). These unreleased episodes make me wonder if there was an original intention to further develop Cloudsdale as a location, along with the weather factory and the weather pegasi. Unfortunately, this potential development was scrapped, leaving Cloudsdale as an extremely underutilized location. Also, I was hoping that Cloudsdale would get it's second chance in G5, but instead it seems that Zephyr Heights will be taking its place. This is a bit sad to me considering all the potential Cloudsdale had, but who knows, maybe an epic cloud city like Cloudsdale will make an appearance in the G5 series. 2 "Here we are, don't turn away now, We are the warriors that built this town" - Imagine Dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransPirate 121 August 16, 2021 Share August 16, 2021 I don't think 3d animated production with tv level budgets and schedules would allow for a decent looking cloud city, certainly not an epic one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with that though, I feel like that kind of city could still be possible. The concept of a cloud city was such an interesting one, and it would be a big missed opportunity if the writers of G5 didn't try to bring it back in some way.
