Twilight Mist 54 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) With Applejack and Spike first appearing in G1 I was thinking maybe Hasbro has a surprise in store for us? Even Twilight appeared in G1. Okay she was named firefly but apart from that an almost perfect fit!

ReverseFaller 2,484 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) I don't really think it's a prequel. The only way I could see FIM as a prequel is if G5 was in the FIM world as well. (Which could be really awesome if done right) Edited February 12, 2014 by Mikami 4 Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutter's lover <3 8,206 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 I don't think so. In my head canon, FiM is a completely different universe from previous generations of MLP. Fluttershy's lover, she's my waifu. I'm in love and obsessed with her, she's given me shyabetes. *Hnnnng* Yellow Pink Squee Blogs | Ask one of Fluttershy's biggest fans | Official Fluttershy fanclub page!

Untitled Goose Q 5,137 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Doubtful. There are no signs pointing towards FiM being a prequel to a previous gen of MLP, but we might get a prequel series.

Zhortac 1,475 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 No, it's not. It's no different then the multitude of Transformers series out there, hardly any of them are connected to each other. Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one.

Andaasonsan 3,205 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 It would be especially unlikely as most of the Mane 6 are basically Frankenstein versions of past generation characters with the names, personalities, and appearances mixed up. It would be hard to reconcile them as being in the same universe. Application REJECTED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) Not that I'm some big expert but I don't think any of the MLP generations are meant to be connected. There's nothing even remotely connected. Any characters from previous generations are just that generation's version of the character.

Harmonic Revelations 8,836 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Each gen is more like a remake/reboot, I doubt they're set in the same universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy 1,821 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) No, I think it's a different universe.

Andaasonsan 3,205 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Okay if their set in a different universe, explain how Applejack and Spike crossed dimensions from Ponyland to Equestria. If I remember correctly, there were weird legal issues with using characters from past generations, because Hasbro doesn't own the right to every character for some reason. Spike and Applejack appear basically because they were the only G1 characters that could be legally used. Application REJECTED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootaloodle 1,623 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 (edited) Okay if their set in a different universe, explain how Applejack and Spike crossed dimensions from Ponyland to Equestria. I don’t think it’s a prequel, I think Lauren Faust borrowed character names from the past gens then re-created them to fit with her version of MLP: For example the already mentioned Firefly being the inspiration for Rainbow Dash, the name Rainbow Dash (along with Pinkie Pie, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Cheerlie) were all Generation 3 characters before Lauren Faust did her version, they even lived in a town called Ponyville as well. But they look and sound different in each gen, and there personallitys are different and they live a different life, and the same can be said about G1: In G1, Spike was like this villains side kick before he joined team pony as it were, his backstroy in G4 contradicts the G1 version of Spike, and he was never a villan first he was always on team pony and a goodie from the start Edited February 12, 2014 by Asherdangerdash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,475 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Okay if their set in a different universe, explain how Applejack and Spike crossed dimensions from Ponyland to Equestria. There doesn't need to be one, because they're not the same ones. I refere to my example previous, in the multitude of Transformers, they reused many characters from before (Optimus Prime, Starscream, Bumblebee, etc), and they're not related to the previous ones, other then in name and simular looks and personality. A better example is the DC Multyverse, where there's multiple versions of say, Superman, but they're not all the same. Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 No. But that does sound like fun when you think about it, but it makes sense if it's more of a remake centered in the same universe as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 No. A prequel has to be made beforehand, hence the prefix -pre. It's more of a remake than a prequel, since Hasbro had to remake the show after the first generation ended. That's why we have four generations.

Bird Mom 900 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Hmm depends. Is Derpy featured? "Pay attention to these petals, Steven. The petals' dance seems improvised, but it is being calculated in real time based on the physical properties of this planet. With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your gem and perform your own dance!"

Tigerpop198 696 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 I cannot see how it could be a prequel. The FiM environment has a different feel and surrounding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
