Like Thundera, Equestria is just another kingdom on Third Earth, albeit larger and (so far) free from Mumm-Ra's influence. The reason why the gas giant planet hasn't been seen by the ponies is because Third Earth is tidally locked and only the Thundera side faces the planet. Eventually the cats will enter Equestria an be amazed at finding horses (especially unicorns) and will try to enlist their powerful magic in defeating Mumm-ra. It is also possible that one of the Power Stones is hidden in Equestria, since its high concentration of gemstones would be like hiding a needle in a haystack. Also the Snarfs (which are distantly related to dragons) are originally from Equestria but migrated to the Everfree Forest, which is actually a massive landbridge that serves as the link between the two. It is also possible that whatever possessed Princess Luna is in fact one of, all of, or a splinter of the Ancient Spirits of Evil that Mumm-Ra invokes in his [[Transformation Sequence]].

* If you look very closely at the moon as seen in "Song of the Petalars" there are a series of shadows on it that look suspiciously like the "Mare in the Moon" as seen in the pilot.

== G4 is set years after G1. ==

== The show takes place in the same universe as one of the various Transformers continuity families. ==

* World 2: The universe of G2, which contains ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Gardens]]'' (a video game, not a TV series, but still takes place in this universe).

* World 3: The universe of [[My Little Pony G 3|G3]].

There are also other universes that will be explored as new generations are created.

== Tabletop Games ==

Walk through the right door in Sigil and you'll wind up in a gorgeous land of magical ponies and unusually bright and friendly versions of monsters common throughout the planes. Now we just gotta guess which pony belongs to what character class.

* Which edition? Of course Fluttershy and Pinkie are likely NPC classes, having never demonstrated any kind of combat ability whatsoever (The Stare being a 'spell like ability' of course). Though the idea of Pinkie being a Sorcerer or Bard and simply hiding her awesome power is an attractive one...

** Fluttershy strikes me as a 4th edition invoker. Lightly armored servant of the gods, raining down holy fire at range. It is after all theorised that Fluttershy's meekness is due to her special power being extremely aggressive in nature. Rarity... 4th edition bard maybe? Lots of flashiness and illusions backing up martial ability, and they actually get the power "Words of Friendship". I'm still with Pinkie as a sorcerer, just because it would annoy Twilight.

** Fluttershy strikes me more as a Druid. Considering her ability with animals, but also that she's able to convince non-animals to do her will (indicating the Wild Empathy ability). She's also got a good Fort save, indicated when she resisted the cockatrice's stare. And let us not forget Angel, her animal companion! She hasn't shown any ability to change shape, but it's possible she's taken an option from a sourcebook that eschews that ability in favor of more focus to animal control.

On second thought: Equestria might be somehow close or connected to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor since in both cases, we have conflicts between forces of day and night that span centuries.

* Also in both settings, there are "elements" composed of abstract concepts - the Elements of Harmony in one case, and the Greater Elementals in the other.

*** ...nor have there been references to horses in Lorwyn-Shadowmoor. But there have been several races (changelings, hobgoblins, selkies, etc.) going into / coming out of hiding when the plane transforms, so post-Shadowmoor ponies isn't too far of a stretch.

* It's also a nice coincidence that Celestia's cutie mark looks exactly like the white Mana symbol.

== Literature ==

Based on how often the characters [[Sanity Slippage|go nuts]], especially Twilight the spellcaster.

* It's probably somewhere in the Dreamlands though.

* The ponies actively changing the seasons and grooming the natural world ("The wind gibbers with Their voices, and the earth mutters with Their consciousness. They bend the forest and crush the city, yet may not forest or city behold the hand that smites").

* Pinky Pie's fourth dimensional powers are just her heritage manifesting particularly strongly ("Not in the spaces we know, but between them, they walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen"); as is her accompanying madness.

** In light of this interpretation, I no longer want to give Fluttershy a great big hug.{{spoiler|Okay, I still do.}}

* Pinkie Pie can see the system's code. Hence her ability to break the fourth wall, her Pinkie Sense, and other abnormal abilities.

* The Elements of Harmony are backdoor security and hacking utilities.

* Discord is a rogue AI that was originally involved with creating the underlying simulation (hence his powerful "root access" that Celestia can't override on her own).
