mega thread Your favourite pony and why?

[Cash In 22,262]

My favourite ponies would be either Twilight or Sunset, as I can heavily relate to both of them and their experiences, to the point where they would be the ideal individual for me to know, as they would truly understand me.

Just going to drop it... Sunset Shimmer. It comes down to one single thing: Character development.

She has had one of the most amazing roller coaster of a story line, but it has not been just to progress the plot (what?). There is genuine feelings in her quest to make herself being a better person, and she really cares about the rest of the (can I say generic dolls of the ponies we love?) girls probably more than they do themselves.
The only one even getting close to her outstanding character is Twilight Sparkle (the pony version going to Equestria).

I wish I could explain it better. I like deep emotional stuff, that gets to your heart. Things that makes you cry.

Rarity had her time in the episode "Suited For Success", but after that it was all jokes about fake eyelashes and "Spiky Wiky" (and in Equestria Girls, except for "Dance Magic", it is just about the fashion and dresses), so why would I ever like Rarity now? Please find me a way to like Rarity again?

Twilight Sparkle was at the top of my list with "Boast Busters", "Winter Wrap Up" and "Lesson Zero", making her really interesting as a character. Then that thing happened in season 3. It was in season 4 that she got the personality of wanting to be more than just a princess to play her part, bullying Fluttershy in Bats! and having a love interest for some weird reason when no one else was even trying to "fall in love" with somepony. But the icing of the cake for me was how Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, soon to be ruler of Equestria, on the big movie screen, was stealing a perl.
You might have flaws in your character, but if you make all your friends hate you in less that a minute, and disappoint poor Princess Skystar the way she did, there is no forgive, that princess title should have been removed right there! Please find me a way to like Twilight Sparkle again?

All the other Mane 6 have the usual problems which come down to different writes having to do something with them. A lot is good though! But we have a few Applejack and Rainbow Dash episodes which drags their characters down for me. Pinkie Pie is too childish at times to make me like her. There are some fun moments thought.

Every show is dealing with these problems. I am just expressing why Sunset Shimmer takes the lead by a big margin here, and why I think it is obvious.

1.) Pony Flash Sentry because he is my first favorite character in MLP and he look like Captain America to me.

2.) Starlight Glimmer because she is so awesome and she is same level just like Twilight.

3.) Shadow Lock because i love him as character because he has amazing magic just like Twilight and Starlight.

4.) Flash Magnus because i love ancient also soldier character from the past.

5.) Radiant Hope because she is Sombra's friend and i love both of them relationship and i want to see her again in 2019 or season 9.

6.) Gusty the Great because she is so powerful and smart so she is same level with Grogar,

Rainbow Dash and Applejack are at a tie for my favorite ponies. I relate to them both a lot, especially Rainbow Dash. I also love them both because....

 

APPLEDASH FOR LIFE

 

[LeafFerret 3,382]

I like Rainbow Dash for undisclosed reasons. 

[hinaii 39]

Twilight and Starlight, I love them both so much. Twilight because she puts her best effort into everything, and she has grown so much. She is pretty obsessive but intelligent, all the while being an amazing friend. And even though she loves studying and magic, she puts her friends first. Character design wise, I'd say she has the best design in my opinion. 

I like Starlight for a similar reason, being that she has grown so much. She also feels really remorseful in regards to her past. And I relate to her the most out of everypony, probably. She got scared about confronting her past and that happens to me all the time. I feel like she is often overloooked.

Celestia is also amazing, I feel like she is also overlooked. She's made some mistakes with her sister, but you can't blame her or Luna for that. They both have their differences, but they do work them out in the end. Being the elder sister of the princesses of equestria, it's rational to think that you will mess up along the way, and it would be hard for her to bond with her sister due to her plethora of royal duties. So she's a very strong character, been through a lot.

And last but not least, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are my favourites too. I relate to Fluttershy what with being too passive and learning to be assertive, and being shy/not confident. But at the same time I relate to Pinkie as I just love making people happy, and I try to be optimistic as possible whenever I can. Plus they are cute.

[Pentium100 2,122]

I sometimes consider how bad would it be if  I was locked in a room with a character?

Using that, Twilight comes in first - not only is she really adorable, but getting locked in a room with her would not be bad, since I think we would have something to talk about. I actually started watching the show because Twilight was in it.

Starlight would be second, for pretty much the same reasons as Twilight.

Luna would be third, since I am a night person. Getting locked in a room with her would probably not be that good, but I still like her.

[Ittoni 538]

fluttershy, because i identify with her everyday struggle to be even close to functional.

 

Spoiler

And if we are talking about my favorite character it would be Pharynx. Seriously. Even if he appeared in one single episode only I fell in love with him. He's one of the most if not the most grounded and aware characters in all of equestria and he doesn't hesitate to say it like it is, and the great part is that he's completely right and reasonable about it (even if his methods to achieve it are a bit extreme at first, I want to believe that he's learning to be better). He's blunt, bitter, has great humor, snappy (I bet that if mlp allowed for swears he would be very rude), intelligent, he's a general so he has to be very tactical and a leader, has to learn to move on from a dark past and still make use of his military background and even though he's reformed now I bet he hasn't changed much in terms of personality (at least I wish because I love it), and he's handsome too <3

I just wished the could have given him another episode or more spoken dialogue in later episodes. I wanted to see and hear him again. I wanted more of him and a payoff of what the changelings can do under his military command

I always end up going back to AJ as my fav mane six. Dash and Flutters tied for second.

Sweetie and Apple bloom are fav secondary.

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

My favorite is Starlight Glimmer, because.. well, I just think her personality is adorable. I love her strange 1950s manestyle, her tone of voice, her awkward behaviors. Everything about her, really.

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

So, I guess I'll make this my 800th post.

As a lot of ponies on here already know, my favourite pony is Fluttershy. She's cute, sweet, and adorable in every way. I've always felt like I can relate to her, in that both of us can be quite shy, yet still long for friendship. As I've watched the show, I've almost felt like I've grown with her, from really shy and awkward, to being more open and willing to spread kindness. Yay for Flutters! 

[IronM17 5,368]

Mane 6: For long time, it was Fluttershy and Twilight who were my favorites, and I still really like them. But in the last few months, Rarity became more and more my favorite because I find her the most interesting character from her characterization. And besides this, she is just beautiful designed.

Supporting characters: Well, formerly, it was Discord, but since S5, he became for me often to arrogant and acted sometimes really stupid. So, I had to chose between Rara, Treezie (who both I did not find in the list), Coco pommel and Autumn Blaze. I chosed Autumn because she is funny, interesting, a good singer and totally adorable.

BG Ponies: Well, no surprise, it's are the Canterlot Unicorn Girls from Canterlot Boutique (so I chose other ebcause they wasn't in the list). And they are still my favorties. Why? Well, I really like their designs, they are so unique, beautiful and cute. From the old BG-Ponies, it is Amethyst Star. I love her color scheme (and amethyst are some of my favorite minerals).

Stduent 6: I am not that big fan of the Student 6, but I really find Yona interesting. At the beginning, it was Silverstream who was my favorite, but with the time, Yona become more and more interesting in her characterization. So, I chosed Yona.  

[Cagey 4,248]

I have trouble picking between the Mane Six. I relate to Pinkie the most, think Rainbow is the cutest, find Rarity to be the funniest, love Applejack’s character, and am afraid of everything like Fluttershy. And Twilight likes books, so she’s also great. 

[anjo 18]

My favorite pony is Rainbow Dash. Personally, I don't exactly know why, but it was most likely influenced by the fact that in 2018 (when I first came in contact with the show) I began to really get hyped for the FIFA World Cup, so when I first saw Dash playing soccer in Equestria Girls (first thing I watched), I guess that just made her really sympathetic to me. That's my theory, because she doesn't really represent the traits I have nor the ones I'd like to have - with exception to her confidence, of course!

But I also really like Fluttershy, because she shares my love for animals and is very shy, like me.

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

I can relate to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie the most. That being said, all three are my favorites. 

[Clawdeen 12,190]

My favorite out of the mane six is Rainbow Dash. I love her personality!

My favorite out of the secondary pony is Trixie! I do also love Princess Luna,Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance and Photo Finish though

My favorite background pony is a tie between Octavia and DJ PON3 

I don’t really have a favorite out of the student six

[DivineMist1000 71,354]

Who are your favorite ponies ever? Which ones get the highest score from you all?

My favorite ponies are Celestia and Luna, because both are equally amazing and beautiful and both have been through so much for the last 1000 years! These two will always be my favorite ponies ever!

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I'll be listing half the ponies in the show if I picked my favorites I'll just choose one from each category.

My favorite main character is Rainbow Dash (as I've said many times before). I love her assertive and adventurous attitude, and even though most people say her ego is out of hand and she has a tendency to put sensitive topics bluntly, I actually like those qualities about her.

My favorite secondary character is probably Trixie (post reformation). I just like her whole persona, and she can be really funny. Plus, I really like her voice acting.

My favorite background character is Derpy. How can somebody not love a face that cute?

[Kevin Tang 2,426]

I like Autumn Blaze so much cus....

Cus....

Cus....

[applesjck 5,601]

Of course, my favourite pony is Applejack!! I could go on for ages over why I love her, but I feel like that would take way too long to write.

Ugh. Opinions. Everyone has their own favorite and that's not gonna change for most people. In my opinion, Rainbow Dash is the best character in the show, but it's just that. An opinion.

sooooo true

These polls are fixed! Twilight is far behind being best pony! I DEMAND EVERYPONY OF THE FORUMS TO HAVE A RE-COUNT!

um no.

its our choice and opinion on favorite character. not everyone likes or enjoys twilight. just because she's the center of the show doesn't mean she's popular, these people out there who hate or dislike twilight. so the poll is honest and true to itself. 

[Pandora 38,015]

I’m curious.. who do you like most from the mane6 and why? 

My main is Rainbow dash, i’ve loved her ever since i was little and when her design was still a little different (toywise she had no wings) but those Rainbow colors /happy look sure is nice.

+ fluttershy, she is a lot like me irl, friends who heard my voice often call me like her.

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

Definitely Rarity.

I love her design, top to bottom. Her over-the-top, dramatic freakouts are hilarious. I appreciate that she's artist like me (different mediums, but still). I appreciate that she's a super feminine character who's femininity is not shown to be a bad thing. I also appreciate that she's a businessmare with a thriving brand that she built from the ground up.

And I love all her outfits, darling. 

EDIT: This post was for a “Who is your Favorite Mane Six” Thread. Now that it’s here, my favorite pony OVERALL is Celestia!
