[The Twilight Zone 15]

1. Fluttershy

2. Twilight Sparkle

3. Applejack

4. Rainbow Dash

5. Pinkie Pie

6. Rarity

 

Anywayz i love them all! But if i have to choose, that is my list!

[HayPanda 42]

1. Rainbow Dash

2. Fluttershy

3. Rarity

4. Pinkie Pie

5. Apple Jack

6. Twilight.

 

There's like a tie between Fluttershy and Rarity for me. Rainbow Dash at the top because 1. I've always liked her since I was introduced to MLP as a baby and 2., we both have rainbow hair. As for Twilight at the bottom, I don't know, just never really liked her all that much :/

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

1. Rarity (Because she's Rarity)

2. Rainbow Dash (She's one of the more tolerable out of the mane 6)

3. Twilight Sparkle (She's meh to me)

4. Fluttershy (She's got a little bit of cuteness, but nothing more to her)

5. Applejack (I for some reason can't seem to stand her)

6. Pinkie Pie (She is the most absolute WORST pony in general....give me all the hate you want, but I will never change my mind)

[Homura Akemi 974]

My list changes a lot. So here is mine currently:

 

1. Twilight Sparkle

2. Applejack

3. Rarity

4. Pinkie Pie

5. Fluttershy

6. Rainbow Dash

I'm back. I take it back.

 

1. Twilight Sparkle

2. Pinkie Pie

3. Applejack

4. Rarity

5. Rainbow Dash

6. Fluttershy

 

Dash and Fluttershy were sort of tied for #5 for the past month but I eventually decided I like Dash better because I relate to her. Fluttershy is adorable, especially in fan art, but she's someone I don't wish to be like.

Well ironically in part due to twilight alicorn which as I have said I am against Twilight has been bumped up on my list again. Seriously Hasbro if you guys made Twilight an alicorn to remind me of why I like her you have succeeded, please don't Mary Sue her guys.

 

1. Applejack/Twilight Sparkle

2. Rainbow Dash

3. Pinkie Pie

4. Fluttershy

5. Rarity

[~ Piston ~ 83]

1.Rainbow Dash (She's cool and I probably wouldn't have even given the show a chance if it wasn't for her awesomeness)

2.Fluttershy (She's coma inducingly adorable)

3.Pinkie Pie (Always makes my laugh from her randomness)

4.Twilight Sparkle (I'm pretty neutral with her)

5.Applejack (Meh)

6.Rarity (I don't hate her, she's just my least favourite)

[Wingnut 6,733]

I didn't think it could happen, but the experience of writing a large review on each of the Mane 6  has caused me to revise my list of 1 thru 6 favorite ponies!

Before

1 Fluttershy
2 Rainbow Dash
3 Applejack
4 Twilight Sparkle
5 Rarity
6 Pinkie Pie

Now

1 Fluttershy
2 Rainbow Dash
3 Applejack
4 Rarity
5 Pinkie Pie
6 Twilight Sparkle

This is mostly because my appreciation for Rarity and Pinkie grew significantly as I was preparing my reports on them. And while I am proud of Twilight for achieving her destiny, I liked her much better as a unicorn. She still means a lot to me, but she’s currently number 6 on my list. Just consider this to be unfortunate collateral damage from the whole alicornification controversy. Go ahead, tell me it's not fair and it's not her fault she became a princess. Guess what? Life's not fair. Deal with it.

[~Chaotic Fireball~ 498]

Rainbow Dash

Pinkie Pie

Rarity

Applejack

Twilight

Fluttershy

 

I don't really like Flutter all that much for some strange reason. 

[Toastie 109]

1. Applejack

2. Rarity (she doesn't need to try to be funny)

3. Rainbow Dash

4. Fluttershy

5. Twilight Sparkle

6. Pinkie Pie

 

Rainbow Dash and Rarity are joint because who doesn't love the rainbow?

Twilight and Pinkie are also joint.

Poor Applejack. Always last D':

 

Updating list.

 

Oh wait. There's no need to update. My list is still

 

 

My favorite mane six pony order is the following:

 

1. Applejack

 

2. Everypony else

 

Call me obsessive, sure.

 

...in all seriousness, though, here's my (sort-of-not-really) actual list:

 

1. Applejack: Simply put, she's not boring to me. Far from it. Others find her character bland and dull, but none of them would bother to look deeper into her characterization and find out what's really behind a regular farm pony working for her family at Sweet Apple Acres, eh? I'm not going to bother convincing stubborn fans who insist on calling Applejack boring, but that's just a hint for y'all. 

 

2. Rarity: Some people, again, stubbornly insist on calling her snobby and rude, but you better take notice of several details that you might have overlooked, such as the fact that she is quite generous in numerous episodes, far, far outnumbering the times she had been greedy. However, still looking only at the "Spike deception" thing, huh? Can never satisfy anyone with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. 

 

3. Twilight Sparkle: Alicorn or not, Twilight's personality hasn't changed for me, not at all. Still booky, somewhat socially awkward and maybe a bit paranoid at times. I can almost call people racist the way they started hating on Twi cause she grew a pair of wings. Really. For me, personality matters, not what they look like. 

 

3a. Fluttershy: Tied with Twilight after Keep Calm and Flutter On, where the central focus was finally not of her shy personality, but of her kind side. Though, there'll have to be more episodes like that in order for her to reach a higher rank. Again, I can hardly care less of how "cute" or how ZOMG HER PINK HAIR ZOMG she is. Inner beauty is the utmost importance! Her personality became the tiniest bit complex after that episode, which is why she's tied with Twilight instead of hanging around in the 4th place.

 

4. Rainbow Dash: Unfortunately, not everyone's going to love this rainbow pegasus, whether she can fly at Mach 9 or not. However, I won't pry at her arrogance. I'm proud to call myself not one of those stubborn fans who refuse to look at only a pony's bad side of their personality and hate on it. Wonderbolts Academy was one of my favorite episodes this season, and (this is a VERY unpopular opinion here) it emphasized her loyalty and positive traits far, far better than Sleepless in Ponyville did. Not to mention more character development. However, she's still hanging at fourth because I mostly find her shoved in my face everywhere I go. Call me a "fake" fan for letting fans influence me; I don't care. That's not the only reason, because I also got irritated by her comment of calling Fluttershy and AJ "slackers" in Keep Calm and Flutter On. 

 

5. Pinkie Pie: Used to be fourth, because the Smile Song is pure amazingness, now hanging at last. Not because of what most people who put her last may say, that her randomness is irritating and her jokes in season 3 are getting bland. For me, it's moreover of her obsession with "DASHIE!!!" and how she doesn't seem to like Applejack as much as the others (shown in Party of One, the Last Roundup, and Too Many Pinkie Pies). Yes, I know that there are best friends within best friends, but still; I really, really didn't like how inconsiderate she was being of AJ's feelings in the Last Roundup.

 

Oh, and people who say "who doesn't love (pony)?" I can answer all of them.

[Shanks 10,811]

4. Rainbow Dash: Unfortunately, not everyone's going to love this rainbow pegasus, whether she can fly at Mach 9 or not. However, I won't pry at her arrogance. I'm proud to call myself not one of those stubborn fans who refuse to look at only a pony's bad side of their personality and hate on it. Wonderbolts Academy was one of my favorite episodes this season, and (this is a VERY unpopular opinion here) it emphasized her loyalty and positive traits far, far better than Sleepless in Ponyville did. Not to mention more character development. However, she's still hanging at fourth because I mostly find her shoved in my face everywhere I go. Call me a "fake" fan for letting fans influence me; I don't care. That's not the only reason, because I also got irritated by her comment of calling Fluttershy and AJ "slackers" in Keep Calm and Flutter On. 

As much as I loved Sleepless in Ponyville most of episode focused a bit more on Scootaloo than Rainbow Dash so I will of course have to agree for the most part that Wonderbolt Academy emphasized Rainbow Dash overall positive traits a bit better. But I do credit that episode with changing my opinion on Rainbow from thinking she is a bit overrated to her becoming my 3rd and later 2nd favorite pony after Twilight became tied with Applejack and Luna is we are also counting non mane 6 characters for my favorite pony.

 

The ending in particular showed Rainbow Dash's softer side which we don't see very much and made Scootalove canon which presents some excellent plot development opportunities for both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. I think part of the reason why I found her overrated was because I felt she was a bit overexposed and on a subconscious level I knew that her and Applejack have a great deal in common and didn't really like how she got all this attention while Applejack often got upstaged. So I think I understand where you are coming from on this.

There is one! 

 

It's on the far right. You could also type : and D with no spaces to make a Rarity emoticon. It's basically a cute little smiley face.

[Ms. J. L. Snickers 101]

Ooh, good question...

 

1. Rarity. (I'm sorry, I just love overdramatic people, and her breakdowns are my favorite parts. Plus, this: "I am not whining. I am complaining. Do you wan to hear whining? Thiiiiis is whiiiining!")
2. Fluttershy. (She's Fluttershy. Hello?)
3. Pinkie Pie. (Again with the overdramatic ponies! I love how random and spazzy she is. Plus, I sort of ship Dispie. Or at least wish they could share a conversation. XD)
4. Twilight Sparkle. (Lesson Zero. That's...that's all. I know everyone else hates Lesson Zero, but that's probably one of my favorite episodes ever.
5. Applejack. (Why is she so low!? I love Applejack. Hmm. I don't know. I don't like how they take her out of character in every AJ-centric episode. Well, not OOC, but taking out her likeability. :/)
6. Rainbow Dash. (I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't like Rainbow Dash, but...I am. I know way, way too many people like her, who just brag to hide their insecurity, and it's annoying as hay. Really, really bothersome.)

[Homura Akemi 974]

Nope.

 

A lot of people don't like Rainbow Dash. I think she's alright since she's #5 on my list, but I know a heck load of people who don't like her. At all.

 

Twilight Sparkle. (Lesson Zero. That's...that's all. I know everyone else hates Lesson Zero, but that's probably one of my favorite episodes ever.

 

That was voted the most popular episode on Know Your Meme, actually. I don't think it's the most reliable source, but it's still a well-received episode.

...Wow.

 

Fail on my part. ^^ Shows just how much I know about the brony community, I guess. That's so weird! I keep seeing people saying how much they hate Lesson Zero and love RD, so I guess they're just a very vocal minority. :3

[Addem Up 246]

Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Dash, Pinkie.

 

Hmm. The unicorns are on the top of my list, for some reason. *cough* Amazing singing *cough*

[Flying Space Badger 84]

1: All of them

 

This is like asking which of my friends I like best/least. It just seems...wrong... to quantify them with a ranking.

 

Also, sky diving badgers.

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

I don't recall ever posting my list in this thread. I don't know if I can bring myself to do it, since I like everypony out of the Mane Six, and I dislike the term "least favorite." I would just feel bad putting anypony in the #6 spot.

 

But hey, the last several posts in here have shown a lot of love for Rarity. That's good. I feel she is pretty underrated sometimes.

[Mars Caramel 319]

Alright then, here is my list.

 

1. Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

 

2. Rarity.

 

This is actually for serious. I like every pony except Rarity pretty much equally, but Rarity is the only one I hate with a burning passion.

These two comments amuse me more than they should, especially because they're right next to each other. Although I do sympathize with Sugar Cube.

[Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240]

1) Fluttershy :3 
2) Dashie
3) Rarity
4) Applejack
5) Pinkie 
6) Twilight

When I first got into MLP, I really didn't like Twilight or Pinkie at all, but they've grown on me since

I was just thinking the same thing. RIGHT after I post about how I am happy to see Rarity getting more love someone comes in and posts that they hate her with a burning passion. So much irony. Oh well. You just can't win.
