damnit hasbro, there ARE 3 other mane six you know

>>29262363
There are 9 mane characters. Twilight, Applejack, Dash, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Discord, Spike and Starlight.

>>29262376
>applejack
are you retarted shes a background character

>>29262376
*Starlight, Spike, Discord, Trixie, Thorax, Chrysalis, Fluttershy (flanderised into a bland love interest for Discord), Celestia, Background Ponies (AKA the rest of the Mane 6)

>>29262376
the day that starlight becomes an actual mane character is the day I give up on this series forever.
I'm banking on her being a season 6 thing that dissapears into the background like cadence did.

>>29262363
EVERYONE important.

>>29262402
They had 4 2-parters around her in a row, 2 without most of the Mane 6 and 2 where she saved the day. Do you think they're just gonna give up on her right then and there?

If they are, that'd be a complete waste of time and direction.

>>29262436
She's also hated by 90% of the fanbase (and not just "not favorite character", hated), and its not like she's selling merch.

There's zero reason for hasbro to keep poochy around. She's not in the movie after all.

>>29262363

>valentines

Dude, you can only use top tier waifu for that merchandise, not a whore, a redneck or a pregnant pony

>>29262363
lmao, a local toystore here at my place also put a banner with exactly these three on display.

>>29262363
>>29262462
One= Main character/appeals to older audiences
One= RAINBOWZ/appeals to younger boys
One= Pink with blue eyes/appeals to younger girls
The Yellow One= Appeals to Discord

Who cares, nigger, Glimmer is a terrible character

>>29262475
I'd actually put that in reverse, Rainbow appeals more to older bronies due to making them feel less insecure and being the "Action" character.

>>29262509
>>29262456
>all these butthurt Starlight haters
#vocal minority
She's not hated and she's very popular, not to mention a full fledged EOH in her own right. Hell, the entire ending of the S6 finale was to set up an arc with her and chrysalis. They're not getting rid of her, they just plugged a whole new plotline with chrysalis and her.

It's pandering.
Those characters are the most popular with the kids most likely.

>>29262532
"big adventure". Its in her description basically.
There's a reason why her alternate timeline self was beating the crap out of soldiers in a way. And she's got plenty of action in episodes like Stranger than fan-fiction or power ponies. Plus her chapter book was an adventure plot for her.

>>29262512
Dash is THE brony character. You can't pander to neckbeards without her

These stats need to be studied. There's something in here. I wanna see that stats for other characters.

(Starlight is best pone)

>>29262726
she just appeals to straight people a lot more, that's all

Are you retarded? A handful of autists shitposting on /mlp/ doesn't equal the entire fandom.

>>29262683
Source of this chart? Also how many voted or what? sounds fishy as fuck.

>>29262363
Those are the big three, they'll always promote them first.
Pinkie is your generic spongebob retard character, good for the little kids, girls AND boys. Her random humor attracts the younger audience.

rainbow attracts the bronies and the boys, as she's the "cool" badass nongirl character to make the periphery audience feel less ashamed, and since they're aiming even MORE at the young boys, that's a huge plus. Plus rainbows sell well with girls too.

Then you have twilight, who is the princess archetype character, good for little girls sales.


The other 3 just can't compete. Fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if they deleted Applejack in the next reboot or version of FIM.

>>29262866
Its not just MLP, derpibooru and pretty much every pony website has a hateboner for her.

>>29262882
gonna need a whole lot of source on that other than you talking out of your ass.

>>29262879
fluttershy is the most popular character. The Hub poll proved it.

>>29262882
content and happy people are almost always silent.

>>29262907
The hub site didn't have any protection. In polls made here, Fluttercucks are so butthurt they always rig them when they aren't protected in anyway.

>>29262870
it's pretty in line with derpibooru's image count, which i consider aprobably the best gauge for fandom popularity

I wish. That would actually made the series more original and interesting. Fluttershy having a love interest, Thorax and Chrysalis fighting for power, Stalright, Spike and Trixie having adventures. That would be cool.

Instead we will get more Twilight solving shitty problems and mane5 commenting on this using their archetype responses like Pinkie making random joke or Rarity saying something with "darling" involved.

It was a poll unprotected without captcha, or ip check.
So some idiot(s) just deleted cookies and voted over and over.

Lol no, there's automatic scripts for this kind of rigging

>>29262971
Yeah I know, but you can also do it manually if you are autistic.

>>29262363
chances are that's some knockoff.

>>29262955
Well know we know who has the most autistic fans.

Kek, nice try flutterfag. Stay cucked.

>>29262363
Definitely thought that said valenttnes for a moment

>>29262512
While this was the case initially, and makes a nice dogwhistle with which to torture the Dashfags, it's unlikely that the people who still like Rainbow the most today are just clinging to her as a defense against challenges to their masculinity.

>>29262578
Loving this meme, but as Flutter Brutter clearly demonstrated, Fluttershy is the favorite of the NEETs.

>>29263976
>zephyr literally tried to TV-Y cum inside rainbow dash multiple times

DYEWTS

>>29263987
It was not the content of the episode that was important, but the reactions of flutterfags to it.

>>29262363
Twilight and Dash are the best ponies anyway.

>>29262363
Yeah, but the other 3 are boeing as shit.

My favourite were always those 3.
And so should Hasbro. Pinkie and Dash were mascot ponies which survived since G3.
Twilight Sparkle is the main character of FIM.

Why should we bother with the other 3 losers?

I think Twilight, Dash, Pinkie would offer everything in terms of episode plots, personality traits and chemistry.

>>29264267
>Pinkie and Dash were mascot ponies which survived since G3
By that logic, Applejack's been around since G1. Applejack appears more in the series than any other pony.
