Humanized anthropomorphic characters that still retain their animal characteristics are much much worse. In my opinion, when the Equestria Girls have pony ears and (some of them) wings is when it gets a little creepy. Not to mention the various skin colors.
Oh, how tragic. In Skylanders, though, it's not that they rewrote his story. It was more like a sequel to the Legend of Spyro in its story. The original version of Skylanders--Spyro's Kingdom--had a grown up Spyro after the events of Dawn of the Dragon ruling a kingdom. In our Skylanders, he was invited to Skylands from his hometown after the events of Dawn of the Dragon. That's why Cynder, Sparx, and Moneybags (renamed Auric) appear in the series too. (Side note: He can actually still go back to his old world in Skyanders: Lost Islands). But I guess, yeah, it's still kinda similar to what happened with Prototype, though to a much lesser extent.

The skin color thing bothered me too. This is supposed to be the human world, right? I mean, some characters like Big Mac had their coloration toned down to look more natural, yet, in spite of that, others like Rainbow Dash are still completely blue, Rarity is still a pure pale white, Derpy is still gray....and no one seems to be bothered by the fact that the sudden new girl has a rich purple skin tone either....
Yeah. I'm not sure which I dislike more, but of the two, anthros are easily much more disturbing. I especially agree that the half-pony forms look weird.

Want to try out mine?
I played it. And boy, that was too damn close. I missed the star at the end but I managed to "fly" through Bowser.

I know why they didn't give they human skin tones: They didn't want to handle the controversy of race in a little girl's fantasy movie. Having too many white people or not enough black people or something would've been something constantly plaguing them as they worked. So they took the easy way out and kept the same colors, with several exceptions (as you mentioned). This should've been one of the first signs that EG was a bad idea...

The difference though is that MLP is supposed to take place in a fantasy land where stuff like that is possible. EG was supposed to take place in the "real world".

The only thing I liked that we got out of EG is Sunset (who could've been a character in the main series or an entirely pony-focused movie) and well.....I still like the idea of Twilight having a love interest, so I'm alright with Flash (his human design is an eyesore, though. I have the same opinion on all male EG characters, as well as a few females like Celestia and Luna)
The pony world is magical and totally fictional. The human world seems more like ours, it's meant to be normal.....apart from the skin tones. That's it. I can understand why they did it as such, but it still looks very weird and out of place....IMO....
Agreed tenfold.

Yes, but have you seen unicorns or pegasai either? Or ponies that can well.....speak?

It's pretty much they made him do it for reasons of another game.. I honestly wouldn't expect him to just leave his home on his own freewill..

Why are we debating about the EG series?
The first one had a great concept in theory, but was so poorly executed that the sequels have also taken a hit from it.
As for the skin tones, I think it's to make it easier to tell the characters apart.

Eh, I've just always hated the idea of humanization (unless there is a very good reason for it, like the character having been human in the past,, etc.....this was not a good reason at all to me....the characters not being human is what makes them special and different, IMO, it's one of the many reasons why I liked MLP as well......) so a part of me still dislikes the first one....
I don't really want to debate about it.

Well at the end of Dawn of the Dragon, he fulfilled his destiny and took down Malefor. After doing what he was destined to do, I guess he was open for a new world to explore.
It's not really debating. We're just discussing the movies. No harm in that.
What's the difference?

Or found it funny, for that matter.
This is why I've never understood the "notice me senpai" meme.

The Japanese are much more different when it comes to formalities, along with being much more interested with the concept of "love"
Combine these together, and you get the trope of a younger girl falling for an older guy
Thats where the meme came from

Bit late to this, but how would Twilight look as a Caucasian white girl?
(That came out worse than it sounded in my head)

As a meme or joke, I still don't think it's funny, though.
Hmm....yeah. That does make sense.

I'd rather not picture any more human humanoid designs of ponies.

Maybe the first few times I could see it being funny, but most of the times that I come across it.....it's just pure meh....
Ah well. In the long run it's just another meme that I can easily disregard.
