In what way can two people be born minutes apart and yet NOT be twins? Did Pinkie's mom get pregnant, go through gestation, and give birth all over again in five minutes? I don't mean to be rude, but have you even really thought about what you guys are saying?

Pinkie referring to Marble as her "baby sister" does not mean that Marble is years apart from her. Plenty of twins refer to each other as "little brother/sister" or "big brother/sister" despite being only minutes apart - it's an affectionate joking thing. Lots of other shows have used the old, "You have to listen to me, I'm the older one!" "By five minutes!" joke. It doesn't mean anything.

Sings-With-Spirits was spot on by describing the extremely simple fact of Identical vs Fraternal twins. "Twins" are ONLY defined as multiple individuals that came from the same pregnancy, the classification of "twin" is NOT dependent on how similar the two siblings actually are to each other - they just have to arise from the same pregnancy. Which, again, unless you want to suggest that Pinkie's mom is some kind of super freak of nature that can go through entire pregnancies in a matter of minutes, Marble and Pinkie are by even the strictest terms, twins. It doesn't matter if the writer doesn't want to call them twins, that is in fact what they are according to the details he wrote about their births.

Common sense, people.
