With the launch of G5, I've seen a lot of MLP generation timelines and video compilations appearing on social media (mainly from people new to the fandom). In them, they always label My Little Pony Tales as Generation 2. There's never any mention at all of what I consider the actual Generation 2:
My best guess is that new members of the fandom are being thrown off by the fact that G2 didn't really have its own animated media, and tend to deduce that a series that took place in the 90s must have been G2. I've always considered My Little Pony Tales as part of Generation 1, but it led me to wonder how everyone else divides the generations in the 90s? Where do you guys draw those lines between generations and sub-generations?
