Favorite Species of Pony and Why?

[IronM17 5,353]

When I was really new in the fandom, I was a big Pegasus fan (even all my OC/Sonas are pegasi and this still nowadays ... except for a short phase where I was into bat ponies). The mane reason was that my former favorite pony Fluttershy was a pegasus and I found them looking cool. But with the time, my interest changed from pegasi to Unicorns and they are still my favorite Pony race. Mainly because most of my nowadays favorites (mane 6 = Rarity, Supporting Pony = Starlight Glimmer, BG-Ponies = Minuette, Amethyst Star, Canterlot Boutique Unicorns, etc.) are Unicorns. And I was always a big fan of the magicians in fantasy and they are quasi the magicians of the show.

Hippogriffs by far for me. I know they aren't full ponies, but shhhh.

I've always loved their design ever since I saw them in the 2017 movie.

From the options here, I have selected unicorn. But I really like the kirin! They can also use magic, but also transform and use fire and they look unique and cute. I was always fascinated by magic and I wish I could use it as well.

For me Pegasus. I've always rather crazy for everything concerning aviation and then additional walking on clouds, making weather :> That's definitely the winner for me <3 Alicorns can fly too, but then I would make it rather easy, since they unite all the advantages of all the pony species.

I chose unicorn. The ability to use magic just seems interesting to me, as well as the possibilities of unicorn magic in MLP

Also, I kinda cheated by giving my OC the ability to spawn creatures made of magic, along with the ability to ride on them. So... I think I ended up negated flight and strength from that alone

My favorite pony species is the Unicorn because they can do and get things that are high up without needing to climb anything.

I know it looks like unicorns are my favorite given my avatar, but I actually prefer Earth ponies. They don’t need fancy magic or flying to be special since they have their own, almost hidden type of magic. It makes them mysterious in that way since Earth ponies are often underestimated. They are also easier to draw.

I love alicorns, but crystal ponies are amazing as well, I kinda like crystal ponies better

[Theautisticrebel 304]

I love unicorns because their magic is so cool!

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 2,874]

I like alicorns because their magic is stronger than unicorns, alicorns can fly better than pegasus and they are stronger than Earth ponies. The Alicorns are the strongest pony race so I like them.

I've always liked unicorns – while being able to fly would be amazing, there's so much more you can do with magic. And they're a bit more relatable than the extremely rare alicorns.

Pegasi, I've always been a major greek/roman mythology geek, so the overall aesthetics of the architectures, the fact that I've always perceived them as the most "heroic" of the ponies, and the fact they fly. It's tooooootally not because I love Rainbow Dash, and only because of that 

[Clawdeen 12,189]

For me it's a tie between Crystal Ponies and Bat Ponies. I also really like Sea Ponies.

[Blue_Lightning2000 44]

Pegasus, undoubtedly.

[Iforgotmybrain 5,530]

Of those on the poll, it's Pegasus. Although bat ponies are my favorite overall.

[XxR3ckl3ss 19]

I like pegasus, something about them is just so awesome to me. I think it has to do with the way they're often seen as "more animal" than the other ponies (within the fandom mostly), in the case of Rainbow Dash and people comparing her to a bird and stuff.

A good example of what I mean is the way Rainbow Dash acts in certain episodes, like The Crystal Empire. (sorry if it's unclear what I mean)

I love changeling, cause I literally could be anything lol.

But I also like pegasus and kirin.

[Rafa Stary 2,894]

Alicorns, because of all the myths and legends surrounding them and how everyone sees them as some kind of deity (especially Celestia), I really like that 

Other than that I think I like them all equally

unicorn!! the style, the elegance, the sheer convenience of having the ability to do chores without getting up? what's there not to like?
