Description

It’s a small theory. There aren’t exact comparisons since G4 is such an overhaul, but it’s all similar.

Not saying that, in the absence of.other evidence it would HAVE to be, just sayig that the established narratives of G4 already deal with long time-spans, so I don’t see how positing a long time frame between G1 (G3? Why even mention that? Were there Flutterponies in G3?) and G4 would be terribly jarring?

@Draco Dei
We don’t have a specific time line for when g3 happened you can’t just randomly say ‘oh it’s a millienum ago’. There is no canon for that. The G3 ponies may have even been grandparents or great grandparents of the g4 characters since many of them share names.

Proposed addendum:
The Breezies who were against intermarriage, but also didn’t end up QUITE so inbred (and or refused to marry evil people??) became the Breezies.
That would take years of breeding and I have a hard time believing g3 is that prehistoric
This is a setting that already goes AT LEAST millennium back, a few more centuries for interbreeding happen doesn’t seem that big a deal to add? This could have happened while the phenotypes moved towards segregation (to set up the situation before the Windigos arrived)… Although The Terrible Trio managed to make it happen in a much shorter timespan, so that may not be the strongest argument…

World's biggest idiot xD
Modern (ie G4) Pegasi are the result of interbreeding between ancient (ie G1) Pegasi and Flutter Ponies.
 
Meanwhile, the Changelings were a separate offshoot of the Flutter Ponies, who became too insular and inbred…thus resulting in their physical deformities and biological need to feed on love by the time of G4.
 
…that is all. :)

I still like to think that changelings are actually flutter ponies turned evil.

The flutter ponies weren’t very heroic. They generally didn’t help the regular ponies until the danger affected them.
