Iris Melody 90 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 I didn't really pay any mind to the older generation ponies, and I had no idea it was a TV show. One of my friends when I was 10 had a HUGE collection of ponies. She had given me one with a purple coat and pink hair. I think her name had something to do with a flower. Blossom? I don't know, I don't remember. I was never the girl that wanted a pony. I didn't even like ponies/horses. I never assumed I'd like any of this stuff. In high school my senior year, for Valentines I had bought MLP Valentines and handed them out to everyone just to be silly XD Rainbow Dash was the only name I knew. I put stickers from it on my cell phone because they were pretty and colorful, but that was the only reason. Upon being shown MLP FiM (which I was skeptical to watch in the first place but did without resistance) I was immediately hooked. Now, I love ponies!! Pinkie Pie is my favoritest of the mane six for several reasons, but most importantly because she always has a good attitude. The others can doubt her, say somewhat unkind things, not believe her, and she just rolls with it. I also love her because her self-defined purpose in life is to make others happy. I believe her balloons cutie mark actually represents her uplifting others. Her amazing dimension bending and psychic powers are a factor, too When poor Pinkie Pie looses her mind, well, it is quite humorous. She has her own depression demons to fight, yet focuses on others. The world will be a better place when she succeeds in breaking that 4th wall! > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErBoi 501 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 The original show was, and still is, bad, in my opinion. LittleKuriboh made the old movie a lot of fun though. Godawful and ugly looking toys that made my blood boil everytime I saw a commercial. But now it's like... OMG, PINKIE PIE TOY ON A COMMERCIAL! MUST GET! That reminds me, I was watching TV last week and I heard a commercial begin with "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" in a voice decidedly different from the one on the show. Of course, my first subconscious reaction was, "No you're not, you lying sack of crap!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillia 69 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 My sister was into the old generation as a kid. I never paid much attention to Ponies until FiM. The Most Misunderstood Mare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esp 10 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Ponies were toys! I had some gen 1 and most of gen 2 ponies when I was a filly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashi Takamine 123 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Beware of G3, it will rot your brain into a puddle of pink sugary glittery goo, and the G3.5 New Born Mutants will not only do that, but explode too. G1, milage may vary, but definately more enjoyable than G3. It gets surprsingly pretty dam dark at times for a little girl's show. ...Its quite interesting to see the evolution of MLP. Best way to watch it is to watch the brony commentaries. Makes it bearable....Trust me my brain exploded about thirty times when the theme said: "Rainbow Dash always dresses in style."

Slendermane 477 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 To me, My little pony was this. A bad cartoon whose sole purpose was selling cheap plastic ponies with hair accessories. Now when I think of My Little Pony, I think of this. 2 Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

autumnalone 21 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 I always fondly remembered ponies as those awesome rainbow-colored toys I played with as a little girl!

TwilightSparkle123 1 March 1, 2012 Share March 1, 2012 Before FIM, I thought "ponies" to me were girly and were meant for little kids until I discoverd MLP:FIM and now ponies are awesome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daring Do 195 March 1, 2012 Share March 1, 2012 Yeah, I never really actually acknowledged their existence before it the fourth generation. I always just looked at it every time I went to a McDonalds, out of boredom, nothing special. BUT! I have an interesting story to tell! When I was about seven years old, my mother introduced my sister and me to the internet. The first thing she showed us was e-mail, which she explained was for the use of convenience to send messages. In order to proceed with the creation of our account, she asked us for a word we would remember in order to secure our accounts... I really had no idea what to choose... what was memorable...? I chosen UNICORN. Now I realize that my loving of ponies was fate... 3 Great adventuring for great treasures!....Except when I'm hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy_prance 114 March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 For me, it was the G1 ponies. (Luckily I skipped G2 and G3!) My sisters and I collected those old ponies and LOVED THEM! Unfortuately a bratty neighbor kid stole all of them just before we moved, the no-good bitc--*mentally silences the little voice demanding revenge*...sorry... Especially loved the My Little Pony movie! Nothing can stop the smooze~!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerpotato 889 March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 Before MLP FiM, ponies were four legged mammals. I hadn't really heard an awful lot about the older gens of MLP but what I did here was the girliness of them. That was one of the main reasons why at first I didn't give MLP FiM a chance, past judgements and all but I sure am happy that I did give it a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael 46 March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 In Norway my little pony never was on the tv, but I had heard about it actually (they are selling toys here... Kinda strange when the show is not on the tv...). The only thing I knew about it was that it was a kids show, if you said to me that I am becoming a brony 2 years ago I would probably laugh my ass off ( Then I didn't know anything about it).

Lambchop 7 March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 (edited) Hahah, interesting thread! Weeell when I was little I used to host birthday parties for my plush toys. One day, this certain friend of mine decided to bring a present for my plushie, and it was a G2 My Little Pony toy. She was yellow and her hair was pink-- Fluttershy, without a doubt. That's when my little obsession began. I bought a white pony with rainbow hair and a pink one with purple hair. Those days were beautiful.

Nothing392 61 March 4, 2012 Share March 4, 2012 I remember them as generic girly toys, that i would mock for being stupid. The biggest thing i knew about them was their annoying song. In school we would always sing this parody of it: My little pony, my little pony Went outside to play Tripped on a wire, fell in a fire My little pony is no more I got out a shotgun, it started to run Blew its brains away.... (and i forget the rest) Now if i heard anyone singing that i would have to love and tolerate them to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
