Chill Mists (Chilly) 801 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) I only just because of a friend realised why The Count from sesame street is called The Count. Because he's a vampire and he counts. I feel like an idiot. Also the mane six's names all have 3 syllables except for Twilight Sparkle.

ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 164 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 It's just to keep a steady balance. Don't want too many of earth ponies/pegasi/unicorns, right? 1 Hi there. I'm SRAS. This is the most boring signature ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filly Pinkie Pie 208 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was intentional. Yeah. It was probably to cause equalness. Thanks PixiGlow for my PINKTASTIC SIG!!! Cute Avatar made by Dragonshy! Though you are shy and sweet, and I bake every treat, everyone has differences, even best friends, but I can't see the differences in you and me, my friend (formerly Pinkie Pie Rocks) You're only one good thing, and dreams are never worth a thing, my Fluttershy. ~Pinkie Pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraday Flask 21 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Not only that, one of the pegasi, is an amazing flyer, the other is not. One of the Unicorns is amazing at magic, the other is not. One of the Earth ponys has one several awards and is excellent at earth pony work, the other is not. Very formulaic, really, but awesome nonetheless. -FF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerpotato 889 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Discrimination is bad. Therefore, two of each. As many have said before me, it was intentional to signify that every race of pony had a place to fit into in the creation and restoration of Harmony instead of, say, six pegasi or earth ponies. It shows equality quite discreetly, making people know that every creature has an equal part to play in friendship and the Elements that go into it.

NavelColt 22,881 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) Completely intentional. Having at least two characters for each pony type allows more possible plot-points revolving around each species' individual skills and events. For example, 'Hurricane Fluttershy' was made largely possible due to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both being main characters, so that they both could interact with each other. It also just makes sense categorically to have a pair of each one. Edited June 29, 2012 by ~Chaotic Discord~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also just makes sense categorically to have a pair of each one. You spelled Fluttershy wrong Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy do have a bit of history together, and do share quite a few moments together. You have to wonder why Pinkie Pie and Applejack, as well as Twilight Sparkle and Rarity, do not have more screentime with each other though. Feeling Pinkie Keen does seem to hint that Applejack has known Pinkie Pie for some time, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FruitRiver 355 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Maybe because she's the mainist of main characters she gets a bigger name? I think its because she was originally named "Twilight" But they couldnt keep it. They wanted to keep the name twilight but had to add/get rid of something.

SBaby 660 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) I just counted the mane six and there are two pegasus's, two ground ponies and two unicorns. Well, to be fair, whenever I play any of the older Might & Magic games, I usually have two Humans, two Dwarves and two Elves. I only bring that up because races in FiM have very clear differences, and there are things that one race can do that others just cannot physically accomplish. So in this way, it makes perfect sense for the party to have two of each race, simply because that way every skill can potentially be tapped to fit any situation. It's simple RPG logic, when you get right down to it. And incidentally, like the old Might & Magic games, there are six characters in the main group. Edited June 29, 2012 by SBaby A Winner Is You!!!

I feel like an idiot. Not only that, but he is a count, like Count Dracula. It's a pun! As for the actual topic here, I noticed that too. I'm gonna assume it WAS intentional. Gotta have them even numbers! It's ironic how I fall just to get back up again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
