mega thread Your favourite pony and why?

[Sketchy Style 39]

Rainbow Dash, she's just plain awesome! 

[Clarity 3,094]

No Sunset Shimmer on this poll? Blasphemy. 

[Shimmer Sparkle 4,101]

Twilight Sparkle and the Great and Powerful Trixie are best ponies because I love how Twilight can be so dorky and I like Trixie's personality and I liked to see the relationship between her and Twilight and because it's so much fun to see her. She's not on this poll, but Sunset Shimmer is also best pony because she's just so awesome! These three are just so cute and adorable.

Rarity is my favorite of the mane six because she's so classy and fabulous~

I'm also a huge sucker for Diamond Tiara because I love the snobby rich girl type of character.

Honestly though, picking favorites is super hard! 

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Oh gosh, how can I pick just one?!

 

Most of them are background ponies and minor characters, 'cause I like to appreciate the underappreciated. Like Trenderhoof.

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

Favorite pony? Littlepip, Homage and Blackjack

[kanwe yest 157]

Rainbow Dash is my favorite from the whole show. I feel like I can relate to her in a lot of ways. I don't like reading or anything like that, i like being athletic, and hyper most of the time.

 

But for looks. I guess all the ponies are cute. xD

[raridashylightpie 7]

the pony is called "not applejack" and here's why:

Pinkie PIe, FOR SURE! She's my spirit Pony, i am her, and she is me

[Batbrony 16,055]

Huh... seriously, I've never responded to this thread?   Well, first of all, as I've said before, I have no favorite Mane 6.  While Twilight may be the definitive main character of the show, I've always argued that the group as a whole is reliant on what each member brings to the group to be as special as it is.

 

Among secondary characters my favorite character is without a doubt Princess Luna, and as for background characters, well, anyone who knows me shouldn't even have to ask. :comeatus:  Derpy Hooves has been almost since Day 1 of my time in the fandom, and always shall be, my best pony in general, and thus is obviously my favorite background character. 

 

[Raynoult 32]

Rarity. Because she's cute and elegant. (Or maybe because I was going to designers school for 5 years).

[Aurora Rains 164]

Ok here we go.

 

Fluttershy

 

She is just so freaking adorable and I can relate to how shy she is.  I hate big events and unless I have a friend or two with me I don't even like going to the mall.  Plus I'm a dog trainer so I'm naturally going to gravitate to the one pony with animals all over the place!

 

Big Mac 

 

Stable and strong although you don't see him often in the show he is always there when he is needed.  I never really had good male role models in my life so seeing him and his dedication to his family and good old fashioned hard work is refreshing.

 

Diamond Tiara

 

When she was a bully she reminded me of several bullies back from my school days who would target me for nothing more than my birthmark.  They make my life a waking nightmare.  I loved to hate her and see her get her comeuppance as it felt like karma hitting my own personal bullies.  When she turned around and I got to see her with her mother all I could think "Good god It's my mom as a pony"  Suddenly the character I loved to hate had me feeling for her (thanks for flipping with my head hasbro).  I'll miss her being the bully but I'm also going to love seeing her do more charity level stuff.

 

So there you go.  My 3 and the reasons behind each choice.

[20%cool100%pegasistr 20]

This is actually an easy one for me! My two favourite ponies are Rarity and Pinkie as they are just solar opposites, and yet they are still alike in some ways!!! Rarity's elegance is so nice, and she is drawn beautifully, but that just makes Pinkies joyful nature and simple character so much more refreshing and fun!!

[Lucia 100]

Rarity, because she gets what she wants and doesn't let others bully her. She also breaks tropes: she's a fashion queen but isn't a ditz.

[MindPalace 39]

Over all, Moon Dancer (from the show, not the comics) is my favourite. Books and learning are awesome.

 

Of the Mane 6 Twilight is my favourite, for the same reasons I like Moon Dancer, though I don't necessarily always follow the rules as she does. If a rule is illogical, then usually I plain out ignore it.

[Scrubbed user 3,416]

Captain of The Wonderbolts, and in charge of training the new recruits in the academy. (also knows all of the academy records) Since she is a recurring character instead of a main character, she doesn't show up very often. She was even an antagonist in at least one episode. 

 

 

Also, the Swedish VA should be a thing for the English version dammit!

[----- 477]

My favorite pony is Sunset Shimmer, although she was never seen or mentioned in the show itself.

I never could identify myself so much with an fictional character than I can with her and the more I know about her the more I see myself. 

 

But if I had to choose a pony from the show I would choose Princess Luna for similar reasons.

Out of the Mane 6, I would say Fluttershy because she is the one I relate to the most. Secondary would be Scootaloo because she is Rainbow Dash's protege.

[FlutterGuy999 2,228]

Even though I feel like I relate more with Rainbow Dash, my favorite pony without a doubt is definitely Fluttershy. I just love how sweet of a character she is, but, at the same time, she's not entirely bland. She does have her limits so she's not just a pretty face with nothing going on upstairs. I also really love how much development she receives over the course of the 5 seasons from overcoming her fear of failure in Hurricane Fluttershy to overcoming her fear of performing in Filli Vanilli to realizing that the kindest thing you can do to someone is to push them away in It Ain't Easy Bein Breezies. One of my favorite Fluttershy moments was in the Season 5 opener where she was the one to discover that Starlight Glimmer still had her Cutie Mark and then dumped water on her to reveal it, causing the whole infrastructure of the cult to collapse and resulting in everypony getting their Cutie Marks back. I just have a really huge crush on Flutters she's soo lovable.

Also she was just as cute in the Equestria Girls movies as a human. In all seriousness though, to me at least, it doesn't really matter if she's a human or pony. She's beautiful either way.

[Starcloud_tos 7]

Rarity! Cuz shes fabulous!

[FlutterGuy999 2,228]

What I don't understand is how it is that Prince Blueblood got more votes than Shining Armor? The latter is far more likable and has been in more episodes as well as the Friendship Games movie. Seriously people what even?

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

Reading the last few pages of this pretty much confirms what I thought about Fluttershy's popularity, it's ENTIRELY based on people relating to her it seems, every damn post expect for like one or two where people state her as their favorite it just seems to be "o well I relate to her the most". And I just don't get it, why is that so important to some people? Isn't a character being compelling better? Having an actual arc of some sort? how funny they are? the quality of their focus episodes? Things like that more important?

 

 

 

Also as iv said before this poll REALLY REALLY needs to be reset. There's so much outdated junk data here from years ago that it just does not reflect much of anything anymore. Like Rainbow Dash? Might still be number #1 after a reset but I don't know, Rarity and Twilight would definitely both be much higher and Pinkie Pie I suspect might actually place 6th, I hardly ever see hardcore Pinkie Fans on this forum anymore, that or they are much quieter than the others.

[PinkieatHeart 208]

I love them all, really. X3

 

But if I had to choose a favorite, I'd probably say Pinkie Pie, cuz I can relate to her.

Personally, I don't see any problem with people being able to relate more to certain characters. Me and my friends have characters that we relate to and no one's ever had a problem with that. Let people relate to who they want. Let them have that special connection. It really doesn't matter in the end. Don't try to keep someone from connecting with whoever they want. That's what makes us unique.

[Crusaders Forever 88]

I really love the CMC, and I would pick all of them for my favorite; however, that is not the topic that this forum is about.

 

If I can only pick one. It will be Applebloom. She seems to act a little bit more adult then Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, and she has this aura of a leader about her.
