I don't think ponies evolve like pokemon.
I don't think ponies evolve like pokemon.

Either way this would totally answer what sort of character I would be in equestria.Odds are it's just magic.
Well seeing as how in the winter carol episode neither celestia or luna were in it then chances are ponies came first. Which would give credence to it being a genetic mutation.Is there any canon about what came first, pony or Alicorn? (besides the play, where there is ponys before Celestia's reign)
If it is Pony's then Alicorns, then the Ponys could have "created" the first Alicorn via magic to have a neutral ruler, that is sure to keep peace without favoring any race (since it is equal parts earthponie, pegasus, unicorn)
EDIT:
yeah, but "magic did it" isn't as much fun as talking about theories
Technically we're talking about genetics.I don't think ponies evolve like pokemon.
I wasn't thinking of a ascension thing. I was thinking more along the lines of like x-men. The difference being that gene is far rarer and regressive and has to be actually triggered for a unicorn to become a alicorn.I guess. There's nothing to measure Celestia, Nightmare Moon, or for that matter, Discord by if we were to think there's some kind of ascension available. If anything, Twilight will just be a powerful magician which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I remember once I brought something up and everyone just went "lawl it's magic," so it's my turn to piss on this parade >:[yeah, but "magic did it" isn't as much fun as talking about theories
I agree with you, I don't care if it's magic you still gotta explain shit.I remember once I brought something up and everyone just went "lawl it's magic," so it's my turn to piss on this parade >:[
Which convention did you go to?Hmm. the con brony panel was kinda crappy, at least compared to the awesome brony panels I've been to at anime cons where 1000 people are packed in a small auditorium. This one had only about 50 people, and the guy showed off brony-made pictures, played songs from the show (no PMVs or brony-made songs for some reason) that no one sang to because no one knew the words, and a few fan-made videos...
Also, he started a MLP role-playing game in the lobby. It's pretty hard to roleplay fluttershy when her default action is "hide under shit".
That would have been my cue to leaveAlso, he started a MLP role-playing game in the lobby.

Actually my theory was that it's a regressive very rare gene or group of genes that have to be activated by a crap load of magic that very very few unicorns ever attain that level of magic. It would also explain why Starswirl the bearded didn't become a alicorn; he didn't have the gene. It would also explain why Celestia, Luna & Cadence all are alicorns; they all carry the gene and it's active.Twilight already established that magic is a technology to them. She stood up on a soapbox and essentially explained it like that to Pinkie Pie. If it was magic, given all the magic and magical books and studies, there would have been a lot more alicorns. If it was genetics, there would also be a lot more alicorns. So I'm gonna go with them being a near-mythical rarity. Maybe a sort of demi-god or god-like creature.
Twilight is a unicorn. I'm gonna say that unicorns are mythical enough that she doesn't need to become a goddamn alicorn. She may become more powerful than Celestia, but she doesn't need to grow wings to do that.. and what kinda lesson would that be for the wee chidrens?

So I don't think it's magic and I don't think it's genetics, but both contributing.
If it is both that makes a alicorn it would explain a lot cause even if you are ungodly powerful of a unicorn as long as you don't have the gene/s you'll never be a alicorn and if you have the gene and suck at magic and/or not a unicorn you'll never be a alicorn.
tl:dr; if it's both magic and a very very very rare gene then that would explain it.
I think Pinkie Pie is the most likely to become an alicorn. To hell with magic and genetics... if Pinkie Pie wants to, she'll make it happen.
EDIT: She won't though, because she's already Pinkie Pie. What a step down that would be!
ZOMFG IT'S HAPPENING!?!
I'm starting to watch the show, and the more I watch the more I'm starting to appreciate it.

That would depend on the level of magic it is,Twilight already established that magic is a technology to them. She stood up on a soapbox and essentially explained it like that to Pinkie Pie. If it was magic, given all the magic and magical books and studies, there would have been a lot more alicorns. If it was genetics, there would also be a lot more alicorns.

Not talking about simple magic you can do by yourself (no matter how powerfull you are), but more along the line of the pony people acting like harmony (just instead of 6 friends who got elements of harmony it's the pony population being united under the want of peace, PERMANENT peace, since they are fed up with war)^If it was JUST magic then there'd be more alicorns and unicorns like starswirl the bearded and such would have become alicorns.
If it was JUST genetics then there'd be a couple hundred alicorns running around.
