There are also Butterfly, Angel, and Mer-filly toylines, but I'm not sure that they will be in the show. At least the Butterflies and Mer-fillies. There was a character in the trailer who looks like an Alicorn from MLP, and he may be a Unicorn/Angel hybrid.

Yeah you are right. Sothesti, the user on Equestria Daily who created Funtasia Daily told in the comments that his theory is that Al (Alicorn) is the Angles leader or something like that. I think that the Alicorn is an Angel Filly who just happens to also have a horn. He should have an important role however in the show since he appears in Twilight's (The teacher, not the hot looking purple alicorn) classroom and goes on some mission with some of the students. It's hard to tell what the actual plots to the show will be, but definitely more towards MLP FIM then the G3 movies. I do think the show will be good, it's just needs to do things that FIM doesn't do. And I believe that Filly Funtasia should be able to pull that off. It does look very impressive and the show has developed very well from the first trailer.  I really hope I'm correct on all this. I still wonder what channel Filly Funtasia will be on in the United States, though!

I don't see any pony all is see are pound signs or well I guess [Insert currency here] signs 

You did click on the link, right? Because when I clicked it, the image on this thread did appear. Yeah, the website is from Great Britain (Hence why I said it is Stompeez UK). It's listed in pound signs because it's intended for users in Britain where the British Pound is used.

It seems like a lot of pony themed things are trying to profit off MLP's popularity by adopting a style similar to G4. For example, the game Pony vs Pony: Battle is Magic. I played it for a while, and I managed to make my pony look pretty close to my OC.

Teen Titans Go! references MLP:FiM by having Raven (voiced by Tara Strong) secretly watch a cartoon called Pretty Pretty Pegasus and play with Pretty Pretty Pegasus dolls.
There's apparently an episode where she turns the other Titans into pegasi.

I'm guessing the Brony fandom has made more of an impact then I thought it did! It sure has made a difference in how the 2010s will be remembered apparently. Companies I'm guessing in many countries feel that by making ponies similar to G4 MLP they can make money off Bronies and the young female fans of MLP. Something seems that Tara Strong recommended that episode with Raven watching Pretty Pretty Pegasus because she knew some Bronies do watch Teen Titian Go! I do wonder though if this show is really intended for little girls however?  It does look like a cute episode. I wish I was one of the those ponies there. I'd love to be a pony. I'm serious about that.

I'd say I'm a casual brony. I've watched all the episodes, and occasionally spend time watching mlp related youtube videos. That's about it. I hope the servers open again soon. I just missed the recent weekend. 

That's me. I do collect some MLP merchandise. But that's it. Not into any fan related work.

What is this? PETA? 

No, but I'm saying that the way we do treat equines in our world is very cruel and it's not right. I mean seriously. Have you read Black Beauty by Anna Sewell? It's the story of a young horse who endures painful hardships because it's masters aren't nice to him and treat him like some kind of slave. Bridles aren't something that should exist in Equestria and the fact that they appear in Rarity's Boutique just tells of how used the ponies are to them. Equestria probably takes place in a post-apocalypse version of Earth after humans disappear for good.  So the ponies from past generations who did used Bridles and Saddles by humans now use them as fashion designs because they sadly don't know the idea of freedom! It's really sad and I don't think you'll understand until you read Black Beauty. If I was a pony living in Equestria, I'd be hurt by the looks of them and would do anything to get Rarity to understand that ponies shouldn't be wearing them. They don't need them anyways! Because Saddles and Bridles are only used by us humans! And come on, look at Sweetie Belle! She has tears in those sweet little eyes of hers. She hates Bridles!

Wow, I thought that was fanart at first!

Yeah you can definitely tell they're inspired by MLP:FiM/Faust's designs. Reminds me of this one time when I went to Ryan's and I saw a stuffed animal in the claw machine, and I swear the eyes looked exactly like Pinkie Pie's or something

Gotta cash in on what's popular, I guess!

Well, I found this image on some store site from the UK. http://direct.asda.com/Stompeez-Unusual-Unicorn---Children's-Slippers/STOMPEEZUNICORN2013MASTER,default,pd.html
There are other cartoon designs based on their particular stompeez designs! I'm thinking it was just a coincidence that the "unusual unicorn" cartoon design looked like it was MLP fanart! Sure, it doesn't have a cutie mark but I guess it could almost count as a MLP Filly (Little Girl Pony) design by the fact that it's short and has a medium sized head and no cutie mark! Maybe they hired a British Brony to do the design! I don't believe Hasbro would take this in a positive way however! Which stuffed animal at Ryan's was it actually? Thanks for replying.
Here's two more pictures of the cartoon pony!
The Stompeez UK design box.
Apparently this one animates as well! Isn't she adorable?

I think it's very cruel for ponies in a all pony land like Equestria to be wearing bridles and other equine accessories like saddles. Don't you think?
I would. It would bother me if I lived in Equestria as a pony and I would question Rarity of the fashion of Bridles and Saddles! It just isn't right. Even for a real life horse/pony. They deserve more of a free life then they are treated!!!!

So I was looking at pictures of Stompeez, those slippers that would pop it's eyes/ears when you stomped on them and I stumbled upon this image.

I don't know why, but for some reason it really does remind me of Faust's MLP designs. They use this cartoon pony on packaging for Stompeez in the UK so you wouldn't have seen them on US packaging. Doesn't this look like the same cartoon design that's used on MLP FIM? Because it really does by the design of the head. It could even be a good G5 design! IDK, comment on what you think of this.

When people throw away a milkshake, smoothie/slush, or Blizzard because they can't finish it, and they're at home. Excuse me, haven't you heard of a freezer?
Also, when someone criticizes me for putting my milkshake, smoothie/slush, or Blizzard in the freezer to save for later. Hey, I can't finish it, and it's too delicious to throw away, so I'm gonna eat the rest later. Deal with it.

What?

He's sayin that he doesn't want to waste it. I don't blame him. Why waste a perfectly good milkshake after spending like $5 for it! It doesn't make any sense at all!

She* I'm a woman.
And I asked "What?" because I'm confused as to why Byndbored used that emote. Are they wondering what a Blizzard is? Do they think I'm weird? (That's fine, I know I'm weird ) Do they think it's weird that people (my mom, for example) would criticize me for putting leftover icy treats in the freezer?

Art thieves!
There are a bunch of people on Pinterest who are stealing people's pony OCs and artwork and putting them on this stupid "adopt a pony" thing! http://www.pinterest.com/ilovemlp123456/pony-adoption/
And it's so obvious, too! They've stolen Tara Strong's OC, WoodenToaster's OC, Snowdrop, mane six recolors, background ponies from the actual show, and even art from Deviantart that still has the artist's watermark on it!

Spoiler: show

Didn't realize the emote there before! Yeah, I'd be wondering what they are trying to mean as well.

pokemon is the only right answer

Not even Equestria? I'd love to live in the Pokémon World, but Equestria would be even more fun. Besides, who doesn't want to live with sweet, adorable ponies!
Post Merge

MLP, obviously. It's sweet, adorable, and happy, but still can have adventure and action. The great thing about living there would be that I could enjoy just simple, everyday life, without having to have some sort of crazy adventure or whatever. (Not that I wouldn't want to have one now and again.)

Alternatively, I've never seen Agents of Shield, but I've always like the Marvel Comics stuff. Maybe that could be my backup.


Oh, and Julius? I know Dr. Who is a cool show, but if you're willing to live in a show where Empty Children and creepy doll things exist, and where everyone keeps dying, even the main hero, (although he keeps regenerating,) then you're a braver dude than me. A trip in the TARDIS? Awesome. Living my whole life there? I have a feeling that would be a lot shorter than I hoped.

MLP? Don't you mean Equestria? Unless your willing to live in the G1 or G3 worlds! 
I would like to live in the Pokémon or Pony Worlds because it seem that life in both universes seems peaceful, yet adventurous. I'd personally though would love to live in Equestria. Partially in a cottage in Ponyville.  Ponyville is so sweet and innocent. Everything about it is! The ponies and even the buildings with the little heart symbols and horseshoes. OMG, so CUTE!!!

"Having potential" is far different than achieving that potential. I think somepony could make it work if they did it right. And the idea of magical talking ponies, while it was widely popularized by Hasbro, is not something copyrighted or that could or should be copyrighted.

HOWEVER... I have my worries. I am a conspiracy theorist, and so I do tend to assume the worst at times, (trying to work on that,) but while I don't deny that the show could have potential, I sadly fear that it was created solely because some corporation saw that MLP was becoming popular and decided to ride on that popularity. Now, if someone fun and artistic who wanted to make something good and unique got in charge of the show, then even with the creepy OC prince it could be good. (And since it's not MLP, even Prince OC Boy wouldn't be considered out of show character, so I guess I shouldn't tease him.) And I like the idea of trying to incorporate male characters. (Even if my cynical side tells me that it's just a ploy to lure in bronies and get more money.) But what I fear is likely to happen is that a big corporation who is interested in money more than quality will be the ones behind this, and only jumped on the pony boat because of all the money they saw in it. (Sadly, this is highly likely.)
The balance that Lauren created between keeping the feminine appeal for young girls while still designing a show everypony could like was a very fragile one. I'm not saying it can't be replicated. I'm just saying I'm not getting my hopes up.

Still... you never know....

The idea of magical ponies that talk didn't start with Hasbro though. It started because of "Pony Books" which stared horses/ponies that actually talked. Many started to be released in the 1920s, but started with Anna Sewell's Black Beauty which was written around 1877. We don't exactly know if Filly Funtasia will be a good show. I do myself believe it has potential, but in order to have that it will need to do things differently then MLP. And it does, don't give me wrong. Filly is different from the Chinese companies who make MLP rip offs and sell them in typical dollar stores in the US. They have their own series of ponies like witches, angels, fairies, unicorns, and I think they also have a wedding series. So it's definitely possible for Filly Funtasia to do good, it just depends on our opinions and the theorists if the show is actually popular. Yeah, it's possible for Dracco to be doing this TV show just because MLP has done well because of the 2010 cartoon. But no one is going to do ponies the way Lauren Faust did it. She did it in a special way because she wanted to teach actual morals and friendship lessons instead of being all girly too-shoes and not really understanding the full aspect of having a good friendship with others. Just the fun the comes with it is what G3 did. Not that it's bad, but still. Believe me, I do think of the worst sometimes too. I still believe MLP FIM is going to end next year.

Apparently, the Filly Funtasia toys have been around since, about, 2006 in Germany, which would explain why none of us Americans have heard of it.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic didn't start until 2010.

Actually it's just called Filly and yes it started in 2006. However, it only exists in Germany, Central European Countries like the Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia. It never has been around in the United States because I'm guessing due to too much competition against the big names, Hasbro and Mattel. My Little Pony itself started in 1983 (1982 as My Pretty Pony) and it started in the United States by toy designer Bonnie Zacherle. We know it very well because we live in the country MLP was founded upon. MLP is 23 years older then Filly so I'm guessing that prior to 2006 MLP was doing good in the European market. I've heard the only reason we have G4 is solely because of Filly and I think it's to try to retain the European audience that it lost 4 years prior to MLP FIM's launch. So Dracco probably responded by creating Filly Funtasia and will begin it's air time in 2015 because of it.

Dragon Ball > Dragon Ball Z > Dragon Ball GT

And somewhere there are movies. Direction of arrows mark progression of series into the other next series.

It's been far too long to even remember what all happened, though I'll admit I'm really curious about why Ho-oh was shown even before the Johto arc.

To answer your question: yes, I do still love Pokémon (I wouldn't be talking here if I didn't ). I've watched every season so far including the X/Y arc, and it's actually thanks to the show that I've changed my mind about some Pokémon to the point where I actually raised them; take Meloetta and Dedenne, for example.

Although we do have Pokémon-Amie, it's a shame the games will never be anything like the show...

No the game won't be like the anime, but I'm still in shock. How much Pokémon merchandise do you have? Like every single era? Because you must've spent tons of money on all that!

That would be a cool element. But isn't this topic a little out of date? Because the Mane 6 now use Rainbow Power instead of the Elements of Harmony!

I've been a fan ever since Season 1 of the animé dub/Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow. Didn't really care about catching them all until Gen V, though at the same time I don't really try hunting for shinies with the Shiny Charm.

Since the anime started in the United States in September of 1998, you've been a Pokémon fan? Wow, I didn't think many of the original Pokémon fans were left. Pokémon was like the biggest craze in Japan and America during the later 90s. You must love Pokémon to never stop having a interest in it. I know some MLP FIM fans who were fans of MLP prior to the show and go as far back as the 1980s when MLP started! I wonder if there are still any MLP fans from when it actually started in 1983? What's your favorite episode of Season 1? Mine would be the first three episodes and The Song of Jigglypuff. I also like episodes 6 and 7.

Off-Topic Archive / Children's Television Network will obtain rights to Filly Funtasia.

2014 Aug 13, 21:54:20

I want to know which TV network aimed for children in the United States will get the rights to the BRB Internacional/Spanish Network production Filly Funtasia. It is a upcoming CGI animated television series based on the Filly brand of ponies from the German toy manufacturer Dracco. It is set to premiere in 2015 and the only television network so far that will air Filly Funtasia is TVE's children's channel in Spain. Here's the article for it. http://www.rapidtvnews.com/2014070834411/clan-takes-on-brb-for-the-summer.html#axzz3AKLFJOkm
The channel also airs the Spanish version of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. So much for the irony there! 
Anyways, I just want to know what television network in our country will get to air Filly Funtasia or if it'll be a sole internet TV series on YouTube or Netflix. I hope that won't happen, but by the facts that Dracco doesn't market Filly in the United States like it's other franchises that's probably what's going to happen. Anyway, just want your honest opinion.

When people argue with us about something we tell them they need in order to pick up their child's class schedule.

Spoiler:  Lemme explain a thing. • show

Essentially I have been spending 8 hours a day up at school for schedule pick up. I basically stand behind a counter and ask parents "what's your child's name and grade?" then I might ask"How do you spell the last name?" I then look through folders to pick up the folder for their child, and also a piece of paper of their emergency contacts.
Next, we ask for an ID and a utility bill/ lease agreement.
Easy, right?
... Well..

Sometimes parents will be like "Uhhh I haven't moved. I don't have a utility bill."
Then I have to say. "You need one."
Then they say "Uhh no. I don't have one. It doesn't say that ANYWHERE."
Then we have an argument about how there is a sign that says you need one, it's on a card that was mailed out, AND you have to have one every.single.year.

We have gotten into full blown arguments about this. Multiple times.
Just stresses me out.

So what do this all have to do with throwing away perfectly good milkshakes or blizzards instead of simply putting it in the freezer?
