So, I've noticed something about the net workings of the game: resetting the program (as in, shutting it down and restarting it) appears to correlate with peak moments of usefulness. By usefulness, I'm referring to being able to visit other pony towns and drop chests.
The most reliable way to restart it that I've found, is to simply turn the phone off and then back on again.

Johnny ChopsockyScootaloo! We have to cook!Grillin' HaysenburgersRegistered Userregular
I don't have any fanfic or anything that can get ruined by whatever they do with any characters. To be honest, anyone whose opinion of a show/movie/etc is ruined because it doesn't follow their fan creation has some issues. I like Scootaloo because we haven't seen very much of her, there's so much potential for what they could do with the character. We know more about Zecora than we do about her. I doesn't bother me one bit who her parents are or anything else, I'm just curious to finally see it after so long.
So uh, why would @BaloneyBrony lose followers due to this episode? I didn't really see anything that major...
Or maybe its the fact that they didn't do anything major that the fans would be disappointed?
Just keep doing what you guys are doing up in DHX. It's coming along great.
I'm not sure how that was fanon destroying. Scootaloo got Rainbowdash to take her in as a sister. No parents were mentioned. She still can't fly.
As far as the episode itself, that was great. The stories were funny, it's always cool to see Luna. Animation keeps improving, seriously, those environments were amazing. Tons of great little gags. The lesson at the end was easily the best one yet, your biggest fear is being yourself and you should face it. Even if it hadn't been Scootaloo, they could've just as easily done this episode as Sweetie Belle trying to get closer to Rarity or something, and it still would be my new favorite episode.

Heck if I know. Maybe he was thinking that fans were expecting some Scoota-parents, and would be upset at not being shown any? *shrug*
Anyway, I loved this episode. Nice Scoots/RD development, and the interesting development of Luna as some sort of dream mistress. I was a bit fond of that idea already, so nice to see it make it into the show.
I can see where Meghan McCarthy was coming from with her tweet though, lots of fanfiction fuel.

Scootaloo was adorable in this episode, but Sweetie Belle and Rarity had some good moments as well.
Sweetie Belle and Rarity always have good moments. I doesn't hurt that Sweetie Bot exists and will always be at the back of my mind when Sweetie Belle is on screen.
Okay, new theory. The loss of bronies will be due to
never actually explaining Scootaloo's freaking backstory, even in episodes heavily featuring her. Seriously, come on!

That was a really great episode. They've been on a fantastic trend so far in S3 and I'm enjoying it immensely.
So this seemed like the first time Scootaloo was center stage out of the CMC. It's nice to see her character get fleshed out a bit and I think the mentorship with Dash will be expanded in future episodes. Lots of fun moments and a good message. Also Luna. I am always happy to see Luna, especially when she's playing a role like in this episode.
Holy mother of god. That was just 22 glorious minutes of fan pander.

Not sure how else to comment because it would require referencing a TV Trope and I believe there's a ban on that on this board, right?

The talk between Luna and scoot is kind of a big deal people have missed. Going back to that picture of luna offering nightmare moon the candy in S2 E4 there is the connection between offering candy to the nightmare so it it eats it instead of you. This is meant as a foal story but with the latest episode we see there might be a lot more being explained here.
Luna: But when you awake the thing that frightens you the most will still exist.
Scoot: eh, the headless horse?
Luna: Hmm, is the headless horse really what frightens you the most?
Scoot: (no) I'm afraid rainbow dash will find out i'm not as tough as she thinks I am.
Luna: Everypony has fears scootaloo. Everypony must face them in their own way. But they must be faced. OR THE NIGHTMARES WILL CONTINUE.
Scoot: moan sound
Luna: FACE YOUR FEARS.
It's easy to see that the advice here is one luna failed to follow for herself. Her fears devoured her and it transformed her into nightmare moon. What's interesting isn't what we already know about Luna's past but instead how she now feels she needs to step in and protect others from their own fears. Like shes on the hunt for nightmare moons return at some point in another pony.
My current theory of season final: (based of leaks and theories) :
Second Last Episode:
Trixie leaves ponyville and is still bullied by others after magic duel. Consumed by her fears of being alone she becomes the new nightmare. Luna tries to save her but fails. Luna and Twilight and co attempt to face off vs trixie but fail. Trixie plans to rewrite Equestria to be a place where everyone is unhappy and alone. Or not around at all. As an act of preservation Luna protects Twilight. Everyone else is cursed by Trixie. World changes Episode ends.
Trixie goes mad with power and does something to Equestria removing Luna, Celestia and the rest of Ponyville from the picture. Twlight seeks out teams up with discord (as star swirl). They work together to defeat the new nightmare Trxie and use discord chaos/alicorn transformation to rewrite reality/return to the past and returning equestrian to how it was. (Also reverting twilight back normal). Luna takes Trixie under her wing and becomes Trixie's mentor. Discord sticks around as star swirl and becomes Twilight's new mentor. End Final episode.
* Trixie will become Luna's new apprentice.
* Discord will stay as Star swirl for season 4. (There will be a lot of Q/Star trek style banter between Twilight and discord because of it.)

Rainbow Dash's grump face on that first page... oh god...
If I wasn't so content with my current av/sig combo, Dash grump face would be taking that slot.
