During season 1 and 2 (Lauren's seasons) FIM was very G3-esque, and most of that seemed to be her doing, regardless of whether she meant it to be or not. What I mean is, the fact that FIM is for the most part, a girl's show, but can appeal to both genders (and why should a girl's show not appeal to a boy?), and the characters have distinct personalities, and heart-warming friendship moments, not to mention lessons that can be related to for people of any age or gender. That, and a lot of other sides from FIM just screams out G3 to me.

FIM takes bits and pieces from all the previous generations (I'll have to check if it takes anything from G2 which is not Tales) I already explained G3, but it also has the daily life aspect from My Little Pony Tales, and the adventure element from... well, every generation, but the first one that most would think of is G1, as that was the most well known for having adventures.

There's bits and pieces everywhere - the idea of ponies controlling the weather is from the G1 toys, some of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's personality comes from their G3.5 selves (Sweetie Belle even gets a bit of StarSong's personality thrown in as well).
