Why is Rainbow Dash on the cover of a BW manual?
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B008DCUEZ8/
The product description (kind of, Google Translate):

"New Pokemon for the first time in two years of" Pokemon "boasts sales of more than 160 million in total series"
"Capture Guide full of Black & White 2 ".
Transcribed their own illustrations, the information that is withheld, easy-to-understand explanation for beginners.
Full color version

So basically yeah, this is a BW capture guide with Rainbow Dash on the cover. Along with a lamb and a chicken.
The heck is going on here.

No idea. I guess Pokemon is just trying to catch more attention for the games?

I doubt it's an official guide book. There's no way that would happen on an official book. But it's pretty funny anyway.

Yeah, I doubt it too. I did get a good laugh at it, though.

And you're right, there's no way Pokemon/Nintendo would let that slide and open up a can of worms that they don't want to open.
 
That guide book is pretty great.

I just bought 6 blind bags from CVS, and got some neat stuff. I don't really know what wave they are or anything, but I got a Crystal Rainbow Dash so I am pretty happy. The other ponies I got were Applejack, Lemon Hearts, Firecracker Burst, Roseluck and Pepperdance. They came in Pinkish Silver bags with all of the mane 6 on them. If anypony knows what wave these are they should totally tell me. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to merchandise.

Um...not really. That scene wasn't one of my favorite RD scenes. This one below is.

I have one question Where did you find the cool avatars and sigs? Bronies 4 life!

There are some shops around here you can request some avatars/banners.
 
That one is pretty cool! Rainbow Dash is one of my favorite ponies. Her attitude is the best and she is the coolest one around.

To start a new discussion...
What do you think will be in the upcoming season 3? I'm assuming the elements of harmony will be used in the first 2 episodes again.
 
Oh wow! That is so cool. I am totally getting it. I just hope we don't have to wait another year...

So, apparently there was a "BronyCon" in New Jersey! I can't believe I missed out. Anyone else have any thoughts? Although, being a 13 year old boy surrounded by 20-25 year-olds in a MLP convention would be just plain awkward. News Story Here
 
two Season 3 songs have been officially revealed by The Hub. I was deliberating on listening to them; since they were officially revealed, I think I'll give them a listen when I get a chance.

Season 3 spoilers:
also, the Crystal Empire is probably a thing, crystal ponies are apparently a separate race, and Cadence's magic is failing.
 
Well, it looks like the mane 6 are in Canterlot now, not sure if I like that. The songs are okay...the lyrics are a bit sloppy and the music isn't great, I guess it is a show designed for younger girls...
 
First one seems musically similar to others, with some less catchier lyrics. Second one seems like it'd come from a musical. It's an interesting change, but I call season premiere material.
 
I'm not going to cast total judgment on Season 3 until I hear more about it, but right now, I'm not satisfied with what I've heard...
 
I've never been a big fan of the songs in My Little Pony. I'm not very impressed with the actual music, but I think they have stepped up the quality. Comparing those songs to the songs in the beginning of Season 2, I think we are in for a treat. This makes me want to believe they are bringing the show to a higher level, Season 3 could blow Season 2 out of the water.

Although I'm not a big fan of the songs themselves, I'm very excited for the episodes that the songs are in. They revealed a decent amount about the plot for what I am assuming is the season premier. First thing is first. Canterlot. Looks like they are going to be there. That's always fun. Also, Cadence is going to be in Season 3. That's pretty great, considering it wasn't necessarily a given; after what happened to Luna in Season 1, I had my doubts. I have a feeling Cadence may actually play a bigger role than Celestia this season, but we'll have to wait and see. Twilight having to overcome failure is going to be interesting. It has the potential to create some bombin' character development. I doubt she will actually fail at anything though. I'm excited for Crystal Ponies and jousting as well. Mostly jousting.
