Favorite Species of Pony and Why?

[JackTheTurkey 6]

Unicorn, because...you know, magic.

[Myth 46]

Pegasus, it would be awesome to be able to fly!

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

Think about it this way:

 

In human form, we're all Earthen beings, therefore we are all Earth Ponies already.

 

That rules out that option.

 

Unicorns are beings of magic, which would make our everyday lives a whole lot easier. HOWEVER as human beings, with easiness comes laziness, and we would soon use magic to do everything, becoming fat lard lumps.

 

That rules out that option.

 

Leaving Pegasi.

 

As Pegasi, humans would be able to do numerous things:

 

1) Fly to their destinations, saving time, gas, money, etc.

 

2) While flying, exercise, as the wings would be considered a muscle group, and you'd need to constantly flex and unflex those muscles.

 

3) Reach high up places that were normally inaccessible

 

etc. etc.

 

Which is why my choice is Pegasus.

[Fliggledorf 14]

Definitely a unicorn. I was debating about Pegasus, but then I remembered I fricken hate heights >_<

[Midnight Breeze 4]

Wow, not nearly enough love for earthies...

 

Gotta get one in there for the earth ponies.

[MaggieXawesomeness 24]

Most of the background characters I like are Pegasi, and I'd want to be one, but then we have Lyra, DJ, Colgate, Dinky, and several more awesome ponies that are Unicorns, and Octavia, Doctor Whooves, and lots of other earth ponies. Pinkie Pie is my favorite of the Mane Six and she's an earth pony. THEY ALL ROCK. Like Tom.

im already a unicorn

 

so i don't need to choose.

 

[Clover Heart 978]

Alicorn. Best of both worlds. ...Sorry, earth ponies...

 

Having to choose only one, I'd go with a unicorn, though. I don't fancy putting non-edible things in my mouth, so writing would suck if I couldn't be a unicorn. Also, for more powerful unicorns, I'm sure they could teach themselves to fly without wings. Probably wouldn't be as fast, but still, flying's flying. It just seems like life would be really inconvenient being a pony would can't utilize magic.

[Rudehamster 156]

Unicorn all the way, I have always liked the idea of a unicorn, plus, I would always have a weapon if the situation demanded it. xD

[SDpegasister 1]

I would choose a pegasus if it wasn't for the fact that I fail at everything that involves some kind of athletic skill. And since flying is seen as a athletic skill I would have to choose unicorn instead. (sorry Earth pony) I wish alicorn was an option...

[False Perception 482]

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!

 

 

I like Unicorns the best, but to BE one, I would love to be a Pegasus, just to fly around and have the freedom to go anywhere.

If you can imagine yourself becoming a pony, I don't see that your lack of athletic ability in the real world should factor into it. Beside, you could hardly be a less athletic pegasus than Fluttershy.

Unicorn

I'm what you might call a "Unicorn Supremacist" no joke...

I don't know, Flutterb!tch is still counted as Fluttershy, and she's pretty strong. And we all know that Fluttershy can keep up with RD, from s2e2. And The Last Roundup, she's pulling a cart, to keep up with FOUR stallions.

[Isobel 279]

Pegasus, because I had a lucid dream once (You can control your dreams, and you're aware of it) and I flew in it and IT IS SO AWESOME! It really felt like you were flying, and it feels amazing when you fly fast <3

 

Next lucid dream: Go to Ponyville and meet everyone.

True, but Hurricane Fluttershy pretty much confirms that she has a very low wing power, about half of most pegasii even in the best case.

[False Perception 482]

Yes, but adrenaline changes everything. Have you ever read stories from fighter pilots? Their reaction time and strength either plummets and the black out, or they become a facimile of a super human.

[SDpegasister 1]

Good point. Now choosing whether to be a unicorn or pegasus is much harder now...

[Sunny Fox 5,951]

If Flutteryshy gets an boost from adrenaline, then other pegasii would get a proportionate boost. They would still be twice as strong as Flutteryshy on average.

[The Awesome One 1,315]

I'm a hard-core aviation fan who plans to be a Fighter Pilot, Pegasus all the way for me because they're like the planes of Equestria.

[Tom 891]

I came to this thread with the intention of choosing Unicorn, then on the first page I stumbled upon this:

 

 

I'm already an alicorn.

But if I had to choose one to molest, I would choose a unicorn.

 

 

So I think I'll stay as a rock, that way Molestia can't get to me.

Please be right.

Don't know why not many ponies like earth ponies, they are so the best pony out there being so smart and completely dependable.

I see that you have forgotten our favourite egghead.

 

What... did you think I meant Twi?

Not necessarily. Every creature has a limit, where it would harm physical being going past said limit. Rainbow Dash's SONIC RAINBOOM is her limit seeing as how she makes use of adrenaline each time. And, technically, she could only get weaker, when the effects of adrenaline are weakened, due to it being like dopamine, the more you use, the less it works. Any creature can be pushed to the body's breaking point, eg Exhaustion stage of exercise, where the body breaks itself down to keep going. So, of course Fluttershy would probably never need this kind of awesome strength and will never use it. And even if you debunk this theory, what about the instances of her keeping up with, and even overtaking, Rainbow Dash?
