Your MLP top 10 per generation

[Dreamer]

Collectors, I know this might be a hard question for some, but if you were only to keep 10 ponies from your collection/wishlist, which ones would it be?

And to make things easier, you can have 10 ponies per generation. Fitting +35 years of pony history into just 10 slots can be very hard!

As for me, I made my own here under the spoiler (no particular order). Just G1 tho, I'm still thinking about G2 and G3:

Spoiler

- Moonstone (Blue, planet symbol, rainbow hair, unicorn, she's perfect for me)
- Medley (Teal and green, pegasus for variety, musical symbol. I just think she's lovely!)
- Starglow (I love the whole concept of Glow N Show ponies, and Starglow pulls it off the best)
- Big Brother/Mountain Brother placeholder (I don't know which one I'd like yet because everyone looks so nice! But I'd defo want a boy pony in my collection. I love the fluffy hooves)
- Seapony placeholder (I love G1's variety when it comes to species and I think Seaponies look very different and adorable)
- Princess Pony placeholder (Something about the Princess Ponies feels... special to me, you know?)
- Creamsicle (again, we're aiming for variety and iconicity here, and my pick for a Pony Friend is Creamsicle since I love giraffes)
- Neon-colored pony placeholder (probably a tropical one, or a Neon Beat, or that one Melody with rollerskates. I love bright colours and while they're not MLP's main color scheme, I want some brightly colored goodness represented here)
- Night Sky or Munchy (These are my favourite TAFs, and it's a lovely gimmick when pulled well)
- Quackers (I love the Twinkle Eyes for their surprising comic lore, and I love her whole "looking for rainbows after the rain ends" vibe. And ducks)

As a general rule I don't add baby ponies because they're not quite my thing but if I had to make an honorary mention that'd be Baby Ribbs. Love me some green ponies and especially dragons.

What would be your top 10 picks?

G1: Butterscotch, Twisty Tail, Hopscotch, Tornado, Baby Paws, Baby Fifi, Fleecy/Flocky/Speckles, Fluffy/ Bunkie (yeuch, BUNKIE!!!), Confetti, Dancing Butterflies. (this was actually hard after the first few so let nostalgia lead)

G2: LONG-HAIRED Ivy, Tipsy Tulip, Trixiebelle, Princess Silver Swirl, TAF Sweetberry, Princess Crystal, Prince Firefly, Princess Sapphire, Lady Waterfall, & Lady Rainbow. (not easy either & I put an 11th on by mistake)

G3: Starcatcher, Sparkleworks, Dream Blue, Winter Ice, Whistle Wishes, Thistle Whistle, Rainbow Dash (best of Core 7 & G3.5 too), Winter Snow, Autumn Skye, & Applejack. (less difficult tbh, I tried to pick one from each set/year, except the Season Ponies because those two are both gorgeous)

G4: Twilight Sparkle, Daring Do, Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, Snowcatcher, Honeybuzz, Dewdrop Dazzle, Ploomette, Silverstream (not so many to choose from as most of the releases were repeated Ponies, & I picked ONLY TS for armying because mascot. But still some beauties in here who aren't in the top 10)

G5: Not got enough Ponies to pick a top 10 yet, but very drawn to earth Sunny, & if they do a blue brushable, I'll be right on that

[Leave a Whisper]

I'm just gonna stick with ones that I own, except for G2 because I only have one, so that's more of a wishlist. G4 is hard because I wish they were in different generations. G5 is hard because it's new and the toys are few. So it's more of an, I hope.

G1:

Spoiler

• SS twilight. i just love her. she looks so soft and fancy. but my favourite thing from her it's her cutie mark!
• medley. i think she's cute... and her mane colour is pretty unique.
• blueberry baskets. very blue and seems that she would smell very good. her mane looks so brushable...
• skyflier. she has an interesting design, quite simple but effective!
• caramel crunch. i love her colour scheme.
• sugarberry. what a nice lady! her argentinian variant is pretty nice, too.
• gypsy. i'm in love with her design, she kinda reminds me of skyflier, but more fancy

• speedy. by far, my favourite TE. i like her concept and colour scheme!
• ringlet. she's beautiful, fancy, and seems shy. a beautiful pastel pony.

G2:

Spoiler

• copper glow. i'm in love with her scarlet red mane. a very unique pony in general, she has a very uncommon colour scheme! besides, she's one of the few G2 unicorns, that makes her more unique!
• dainty dove. she's dreamy and i like that. she looks soft.
• light heart. i always thought she and dainty dove were like, cousins, since they look a like a bit. she reminds me a bit of G3 sunny daze, a pony i own and that i like too! i like how her hooves look in several releases.
• sundance. she's bright and cool, i like her!
• ivy. i really love her colour scheme since she has THREE of my favourite colours. isn't that nice?
• prince firefly. oh my god, his colour scheme is so gorgeous. i think he's one of the best G2 ponies out there!
• night glow. she's simple but nice.
• queen sunsparkle. she's very unique to the G2 line, too!
• eve. i like dolphins and her mane. she's neat overall.
• spring. is she minty's long lost cousin!? maybe her mom? who knows, but i like her!

G3:

Spoiler

• thistle whistle. my favourite pony ever and one of my first ponies. loved her personality on the specials and her scent is just so nostalgic to me. because of that, i really like coconut-scented cosmetics!
• precious gem. i've always loved her, and i own her too. her design is beautiful and i think she really stands out.
• sunny daze. she looks so cheerful! i love her mane. it's just so, brushable. and her cutie mark is pretty cute!
• crystal crown. i'd love to own her. i like wishing wells. she also looks very fabulous!
• core 7 toola roola. i've always been pretty sad about her because she didn't have many releases compared to the rest of the core 7, and as a child, she was the pony i most identified with since i like to draw. i don't own her, would like to have her.
• cheerilee (unicorn). i own her, i like her, i liked her personality on the runaway rainbow! i would have liked more if she were a regular release and not a styling pony, but, oh well, i still love her!
• marshmellow coco. her tiny hat is so cute and i love her cutie mark. would like to own her
• chocolate delight. love her brown eyes. would love to have her. too cute for a discount pony!

• round n' round. in love with her colour scheme, would love to own her. she's just fabulous!

G4:

Spoiler

• twlight sparkle. not my favourite pony on the show, but her toys always looked very cute. like her. i own her, too!
• ploomette. i only have her second version. i like her design. she looks shy but down-to-earth.
• dewdrop dazzle. so stunning. love her!
• feathermay. the only thing i don't like about her is her discolouration. but i like her design and concept. her little parrot is so cute! her parrot and her design reminds me of a macaw, and i really like macaws.
• potion nova. does she count? i like her design, but i'm not a big fan of G4.5 toys... i like her chaotic personality on pony life though!
• rainbow dash. my favourite character on the show. her toy versions always seem so cute.
• cherry pie. i've always liked ponies related to desserts and such. she's simple, but i appreciate that.
• honeybuzz. i absolutely LOVE that colour scheme!
• sunset shimmer. i also like her character on the show. i like her "through the mirror" release.
• trixie lulamoon. another character i like from the show, but i also enjoy her toy releases!
