@FlameStar101: Yeah,you are correct, the alicorn thing was a new idea. Back then alicorns and royalty weren't synonymous, but since the retcon with Cadance changing into an alicorn when she was shown in S1 (outside the show) to be a unicorn they became as such.

I still think Hasbro were trying to please bronies by doing that, but it looks like it backfired (I am neutral about alicorn Twilight.)
