Bird Mom 900 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 After watching episode after episode of both generations. I'm tied up. On one hand, Generation 3 is better in action and had more toys than MLP:FiM. Buuut..MLP:FiM on the other hand has way better graphics and more comedy, which, everypony hardly remembers Generation 1,2, or 3. So, My Little Pony franchise has been around since 1982 or 1983. And all other 3 generations were hand-drawn. Which is way more original. But Hasbro now uses Flash to make the graphics. Anypony can do that. So what do you like better? Generation 3, or MLP:FiM?? Your choice! "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.

Scootalove 10,689 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 I think that the older generations were okay, but I'm going with Friendship is Magic. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candlewick13 32 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 I never listened to G3. (I'm 14.) I had a Pinkie Pie and a Applejack pony figure when I was six and used to play with them a bit. I got waaaayyyy out of them when I got older, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argumedies 1,748 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 FIM is definetly the best out of all of them and would rank G1 as second... 2 and 3 however......(flush) G1 had darker story tones despite its more "cartoony" characterization. If they were to combine the two, that would be fan-freaking-tastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandizeen 21 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 I don't like the older generations at all actually. So I'll probably go for FiM. I used to watch generation 2 when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 FIM undoubtedly. I strongly disliked G3. There was hardly any conflicts, and life just seemed to perfect. I didn't even bother it. 2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Room 512 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 FiM is the best in my opinion, but there was one character in G3 that was actually tolerable and had substance. That character is Minty. 1 "Have you ever felt the need to see more than you can see?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Mom 900 February 14, 2014 Author Share February 14, 2014 FiM is the best in my opinion, but there was one character in G3 that was actually tolerable and had substance. That character is Minty. I totally agree. Minty was totally the best. "Pay attention to these petals, Steven.

Fhaolan 4,484 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 I found G3 to be somewhat disappointing, as it was constantly in flux. There really weren't that many G3 'episodes' before they re-arranged stuff and shredded the cast down to Core 7. Then there were only a small number of 'episodes' before they converted over to G3.5, and everything *really* went pear-shaped. Ponies changed breeds without notice, the animation had some strange artifacts like constantly wibbling hair or inconsistent outlining, and the storylines were not particularly strong. Especially the two web-cast episodes that cumulated G3.5 which were just bizarre. Otherwise, my favorite ponies were Sunny Daze and Kimono. Simply because Sunny was so unintentionally funny, and Kimono was so sarcastic. Unfortunately we lost them when they moved to Core 7. So really, I feel it *could* have been good, but each phase of G3 didn't last long enough reach their potentials, and the various 'episodes' felt like more time and effort could have been put into them. To balance that, the toy line was very extensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicEnergy 23,220 May 8, 2022 Share May 8, 2022 I prefer MLP FiM over gen 3. I've seen a few parts of it, and it looks much more girly and therefore much more uninteresting to me, and also the art style is unappealing to me as well. 1 *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
