The franchises are frankly too different. A character like Sunset Shimmer would overcentralize the show on a single character, while relegating the usual main characters to supporting roles. Or her character would have to be toned down to something appropriate for the FIM universe, similar to how Starlight Glimmer adjusted between the Season 5 and Season 6 hiatus.

There are so many problems with bringing the shows together, it's pratically a minefield. I'll give you a short list:


 * Significant character adjustments
 * Finding time for this new main character
 * Finding time to explain new character's backstory to people not familiar with EG
 * Justifying why Sunset Shimmer wants to return/abandon her friends.
 * Justifying why Princess Celestia would accept Sunset's return
 * Somehow having Sunset make friends with all the mane six.
