Some interesting information has arrived from the panel happening at Trotcon right now starring G.M. Berrow. Apparently, bat pony land was planned for generation 5 before it got cancelled. The writers wanted to expand to more side creatures like griffons and bats, but as you all know G5 has ended.
She also mentioned that she wanted Make Your Mark to be 2D, since it is difficult to get 3D assets, limiting what they could do.
I wonder if any of this will be rolled over into G6? Here's hoping... I still need my Halloween Town bat village.
