I think I disagree still. Look at newborn cuties and gen 3 generally. I can't believe that those episodes brought their toys any extra sales. I think they were riding on what parents remembered about gen 1 and maybe 2. If they change again, sure they'll get different ponies, but, unless the style stays the same, future parents will be disappointed I think"}
