>As much as I could laugh at G1 and the song that was memed, they are the Seaponies that we know and love forebearers and none of G4 would be possible without G1. I ought to show G1 a bit more respect as a whole, tbh.
the most benefited side for making this species relevant again..has been gen 1 ironically. In fact, by reviving Tirek, the Smooze, Grogar and this species, gen 1 has become more respected among the fanbase. At least, it´s the preferable choice for a revisit among the community even if it´s for archive purposes only. It has managed to work as a baseline for bringing up all the old concepts and put them together in the relevant gen that would cause a cultural impact.

No one is going to deny that but keep in mind, this species only appeared in a matter of minutes for the whole thing. Like, you are basically trying to build up something out of basically nothing. Not exactly thin air but a species that was designed for bath toys. That´s the entire irony of what I will try t transmit over here.

>This thread...is a joke.
alright, if you want to be less confused about the thing, it´s not about the thread being presented as a shitpost. The thread is properly presented and it will have its own commitment.

The joke doesn´t come from the thread itself. It´s the fact that this thread is dedicated to a conceptual joke at its core (or at least, in its origins).
For explaining the whole evolution and how we managed to get here, the whole background story is more complicated to display than it seems because i need several hours just to compile how this concept managed to deviate so much from 1986 to this point. I need around 10-15 posts just to prove that for a minor species, they are quite awkward and still hold a weird status.

Visiting them is like a mix of the past (but further than 2010, specifically 1986) but still really fresh (2017). Unlike the changelings or the kirins for example, one cannot tell how much fans actually wanted them or how much Hasbro wanted to push them. This last line still induces to raise several questions about how they are seen in general.

Allow me to explain the whole thing first because you will see that the word joke holds a pretty special meaning in this case and it´s not the one that they would be frowned upon, not in the recent years at least.
