Most popular ponies from each year of G1...

[Deep Purple Crystal]

Considering the threads about unpopular pony opinions and ponies which are never discussed, I figured I'd better complete the collection with this thread.
My opinion on this:
Year 1: Minty
Year 2: Moondancer, Ember, or... probably Ember.
Year 3: Probably Gusty, or the second set of rainbow ponies. The second set of adult sea ponies, especially Whitecap and/or Sea Mist.
Year 4: Wind Whistler, the Pearly N Pretty Baby Sea Ponies, flutters with wings...
Year 5: Mimic (well, of course Mimic), the Soft N Sleepy Newborns, the second set of So Soft Ponies...
Year 6: The second set of TAF ponies...
Year 7: Red Roses...
Year 8... I... I don't know much about years 6-10 of G1. Pony research time!
Year 9: Glow N Shows, maybe?
Year 10: Sweet Talking ponies...
Year 11: The Seven Characters, the Hair-Do ponies, the Rollerskate ponies, The Nesties I think, Euro Princess Sparkle...
Year 12: Surprise Twins pony, the Nurse ponies, Splish, the Jewellery/Sweetie baby ponies.
Year 13: All of them. They're all hard to find, at the very least.
Sorry for the incomplete list, I'll get my G1 inventory back soon, and then it's time for some pony research!
Has anyone else got opinions on this?

There are about as many opinions on ponies as there are collectors. Finding a single pony that is most popular of each year would need a wide range of research done, so I'm not going to even try and guess.

I'm clueless when it comes to which ponies are from which years, but I do know Fizzy seems to be a pretty popular pony.

This is why we have the Arena Derby every year - the fan favorites change!    The Derby is a March-madness style of popularity contest for MLP - we all vote on what we think will be the favorite, and then we vote for our favorite, and then the people who guess with the highest degree of accuracy for popularity win prizes!

Year 3: Gusty
Year 4: Fizzy
Year 5: Crumpet or Mimic
Year 6: Princess Taffeta
Year 7: Diamond Dreams or Red Roses
Year 8: Oh thats hard - there are not that many that are super popular this year - maybe Raincurl
Year 9: Dazzleglow
Year 10: Again not loads that end up on the popular list - hmmmm Flowerbelle
