Favorite Species of Pony and Why?

[Radiance64 7,053]

Hello everypone. I've seen topics with questions about favorite ponies, so i decided to ask about your favorite pony race  My favorite pony race is pegasus becous Rainbow dash is a pegasus and she is my favorit pony, and how awesome should it not be to fly? :3 

Hey there The swedish Dashie, just letting you know that I merged the thread you made about favorite pony race/species with the one we already had here. Before creating a topic, it's best to check if it exists somewhere yet or not using the search function, especially in relevant sections. Thanks for your understanding.

At first, I thought we were talking about IRL ponies

 

As for my favorite kind of IRL pony, these Shetland Ponies in cardigans are freaking adorable :D

 

 

But yeah, as for MLP, I have always wanted to fly. So my favorite kind is pegasus. I mean, being a unicorn sounds cool and all with the whole magic thing, but I'd rather be able to fly to wherever I want if I wanted to be alone. Also, there's nothing quite like flying and seeing the huge planet below to remind you of how small you are. Every time I've flown and had the window seat, I can look down and see all the cars on the interstates. People going about their business like ants on a hill. It's quite amazing to see and ponder. Life is such a beautiful, yet fleeting thing. And I like that about life.

I prefer unicorns, because I love everything related to magic.

Strangely, my favorite characters are generally pegasus (Rainbow Dash, Derpy...)

I gotta say Alicorn because magic and flying are cool but if I had to choose between Pegasus, unicorn, and earth pony, I would choose Pegasus because its always been my dream to fly.

[Alicorn Fluttershy 152]

Alicorn for sure. i mean its magic and flying and you are royalty

what more could you want?

[yayayayayala 1,668]

I like alicorn because they have the best of both worlds; if I were actually magically ponified I would probably be an earth pony, but I want to be a unicorn because it would drive me insane to not be able to draw good while having to learn to draw with my mouth XD!

I like unicorn.  Why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's why.

[Odyssey 5,715]

My favourite are unicorns. The wide range of spells they can use is always interesting to see. Not only that, but most of the ponies I like are unicorns thanks to their personalities.

Pegasus for me. I'd take flying over magic any day of the week. Plus my two favorite ponies are pegasi (Dashie 'n Scoots).

[Tameless 979]

I love the Alicorn species.

 

For one they can fly and second they also can do magic. It's a pretty sweet deal.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Personally, I prefer the crystal ponies. It's hard for me to say why, especially with there being crystal unicorns & pegasi, but I'm a major fan of their design and I love the story that links them with the crystal heart. Plus, I just LOVE it when they turn all crystally... <3

 

Plus...crystal unicorns...

It may look like I'm a pegasus but I'm really more of an alicorn. Alicorn's can fly and use magic. Thats what makes them awesome!  :comeatus:

[DaliaMarina 46]

an unicorn ofcourse the unicorn cand do magic like the spell who gave rarity wings

[Tao 7,482]

I'm going Earth for now,   why?   They have a wide range of talents it seems no peggy or unicorn has and they are under used in not only the main cartoon but also ocs sadly!

[Prince Golden Lotus 166]

Alicorn.

 

Nothing too complicated, just my soul race.

And I'm writing a song about it.  Which is deep.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

I think I like Earth Ponies the best. Extra strength is awesome plus there's something about the basic pony look that I like. Pegasus is a close second but feels like a tie on some days. I can't decide. >.<

[Magic Note 2,748]

I'm going to say Unicorns because they're able to cast spells, or use spells to utilize their environments (i.e. useing their spells to light up a dark cave, Rarity useing it to find gems, etc.).

Pegasus because they fly and control the weather.

[Zerbu 72]

Fluttershy is a pegasus, therefore pegasus is the best. End of story!

[Radiobolt 186]

Unicorn, please! I consider myself intelligent in real life, so I guess it'd fit. Plus, I'm afraid of heights!

[ShutterBat 134]

Even though my favorite pony is Fluttershy, I must admit my next favorite is Cadance. The Crystal Ponies has always intrigued me. They seem to be immortal? Or at least live a long time? I mean, were those ponies old enough to remember Sombra's reign in the Crystal Empire over 1000 years ago? Pretty intense. And just LOOK at them! They are gorgeous!

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

Alicorns are my favourite, because they're powerful.

[Scare Effect 312]

my favorite is the earth pony. why because the entire pie family are earth ponies and i would like to see a pegasus destroy a boulder with their bare hooves like Maud pie or unicorns break the laws of physics  and predict the future like pinkie pie.

other than that earth ponies are more resourceful and more adaptive than both pegasus and unicorn. take away a Pegasus's wings and the unicorns magic and their completely helpless, because they become too reliant on magic and flight that with out it they would have trouble with things they are use to doing with ease. for example take away twilight's magic and twilight would have trouble reading a book, take away dash's wings and she would not be able to clear the sky and lose her job on the weather team. there are several other examples. but what exactly does an earth pony use for doing things, nothing. earth ponies work hard to do what they do and do not become reliant on some special trait like magic or flight. they use their heads to find solutions.

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

Surprisingly few people voting alicorns :/

 

Strange that. Not that it should win, but I just figured they'd have a better showing is all.
I blame twilight.

[Mad Cyantist 30]

What type of pony do you prefer, would like to be, or identify most with? Would you prefer speed and freedom, or magical powers? or just be a plain old, pony!

 

Please give reasons/examples why!

 

 

 

My answer changes depending on which part of the question I choose to address.

 

What type of pony do I prefer?  Off the top of my head I would have said unicorns, but once I clicked on this thread and saw that crystal ponies were an option, I had to vote for them, because they look magnificent.

 

What type of pony would I like to be?  Alicorn seems like the obvious answer, because they have flight + magic and (some of them) live for over a millennium.

 

What type of pony do I identify most with?  I guess that would have to be the earth ponies, because I'm boring and have no impressive skills.  They're my least favorite type though, and I certainly wouldn't want to be one.
