As far back as Generation 1, Hasbro would occasionally reuse a preexisting pony name for a new and unrelated pony later (this phenomenon is not to be confused with the Baby versions of adult ponies made in G1 and G2.)

Cross generational pony name recycling can be confusing to people not particularly aware of previous generations. IE buying a [[G3 Rarity]] toy without much thought... turns out to be a pink pony. This is a growing list of recycled pony names as well as seemingly recycled pony styles/themes.

Cross-generational pony name recycling can be confusing to collectors familiar with only one generation, especially when the differences are striking; for example, a [[G3 Rarity]] is a pink pony while a [[G4 Rarity]] is white. This is a growing list of recycled pony names as well as seemingly recycled pony styles/themes.
  
 
Names are listed alphabetically, but each section starts from the earliest generation involved.

Latest revision as of 00:17, 19 April 2024

As far back as Generation 1, Hasbro would occasionally reuse a preexisting pony name for a new and unrelated pony later (this phenomenon is not to be confused with the Baby versions of adult ponies made in G1 and G2.) They have continued this tradition cross-generationally with some of the G3 to G4 conversions seeming to be more aware of keeping similar designs.

Cross-generational pony name recycling can be confusing to collectors familiar with only one generation, especially when the differences are striking; for example, a G3 Rarity is a pink pony while a G4 Rarity is white. This is a growing list of recycled pony names as well as seemingly recycled pony styles/themes.

Names are listed alphabetically, but each section starts from the earliest generation involved.

  • Also in 2007, a completely different pony called Mittens was released. Her symbol was borrowed from a 2004 pony, Snow'el.
  • The third pony in the 2007 set was also called Snow'el, but was different from the 2004 version.
