Reason: Standardizing the generations of little ponies! Currently they're a hot mess. Since we have mlp_g5, I think we should follow that standard. G3.5 isn't a separate generation, and is a part of G3, so it should imply G3. Unimplying some G1 cartoons from the main MLP tag to imply them to G1 instead, and aliasing a couple G2 and G3 media that aren't notable enough for their own distinct tags.

I also really don't think pre-g4 needs to exist. ~mlp_g1 ~mlp_g2 ~mlp_g3 would accomplish the same thing once properly set up.

I plan on making BURs for character implications later on, mainly because I have to sort out the mess that is the damn *_(pre-g4) suffix and deal with ponies like Minty who have multiple different incarnations lumped under one tag (which isn't hard, it's just a pain to track them down)

Don't worry, this BUR does not touch the beast that is G4. I don't want to touch it. It scares me.

Edit: Pointed MLP Movie 1986 implication to MLPNF because it's set in the same continuity, also made aliases for the two specials from that continuity since they're not really noteworthy on their own.

Reason: Also pls let me remove the transitives so I can deal with these tags, the *_(pre-g4) suffix is genuinely awful. "pre-g4" covers three different iterations of the franchise... Many of these characters have appearances in more than one, as very visually different incarnations... And those that don't can just be *_(mlp) like the G4 and G5 ponies since there's no need to disambiguate. (NVM on that death to *_(mlp) too but that's the topic of my other thread)
