Should Pinkie Pie leave the show?

Even though she just had a very bad episode, that doesn't mean she's a bad character! She had good moments this season like in Mean 6! Basically, the writers just need to make better episodes for her next season!

And they better. Same for Fluttershy, too.

But the only two ponies I don't want to see much anymore are Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

Agreed. Pinkie Pie is an important character and she's absolutely amazing. The writers have just done her wrong as of late.

They should probably do that to Rainbow and Rarity as well this time after all those episodes focusing on either of them.

Honestly, I don't see why they would get rid of her.

Definitely not, in my honest opinion. Pinkie can be annoying at times, but she's crucial to the Mane 6 and the show itself. It might sound cliché, but it literally isn't the Mane 6 without her. Removing her would unsatisfy the majority of Pinkie's relatively large fanbase or would even stop them from watching the show. It would also drive some of the kids away from the show, since many of the kids watching the series view her as the comic relief character. They don't have a good reason to do so either, Pinkie can't just suddenly disappear from the show without any prior context, it just wouldn't make sense for the production team or writing staff to get rid of her completely for the remainder of the show's run. And as a reminder, the Season 3 finale would never have worked without Pinkie either, as much as you may hate to hear it, you can't deny how important of a role Pinkie has played throughout the show. Pinkie is also a pretty identifiable part of Hasbro's branding, and removing her could lead Hasbro to suffer financially as well. Even though some of us may not like her as a character, removing Pinkie would ruin the show. I just don't think she would nor should ever be removed from the show.

Especially me. Interacting with the Student Six (and some other side characters as well) would be fun!

I don't think that she should be removed at all. Suddenly removing Pinkie would definitely throw the chemistry of the Mane 6 off balance. 

If all the other Mane 6 members are included in Generation 5, I see no reason for Pinkie Pie not to be.

I'm sorry, but absolutely not. Even though I may have a bit of a distaste for Pinkie Pie, I wouldn't ask for her to be removed form the show. Not only is that quite a slap to the face to her fanbase, but it would also damage their marketing campaign; Pinkie Pie is one of My Little Pony's current mascots, alongside Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Could her character be better? In my opinion, yes, absolutely... but removing her from the show (or the brand at large) seems rather extreme.

 

I agree with you.

This is a very good post

If I had it my way, Pinkie wouldn't be completely removed from the show, but she would be demoted to a secondary character.

Then we'd finally see an EQG-exclusive character in FiM, with Lemon Zest taking her place as the new Element of Laughter.

After all, Lemon was supposed to be the "Pinkie Pie" of the Shadowbolts, so it'd only make sense for her to be the one to replace Pinkie.

Now that would be awesome,

I stated before in another topic about a fan's love of a certain character not getting the episodes the fan believes their favorite character deserves: Don't let your love for a single character make you criticize an entire season/episode/show just because your favorite's not in it. 

@Rarity's crush

The polar opposite can apply here as well. Just because you find Pinkie annoying, that doesn't mean you should waste your time spreading your hateful opinion onto others. You can hate Pinkie all you want, but please don't force her fans to give up the admiration for her.

I don't want Pinkie to leave the show and I didn't hate on anyone, I didn't even say I wanted Pinkie to leave.
