In all fairness I think the episodes often are fairly predictable and this is something which annoyed me the first time I watched the series, but it's hardly intolerable, particularly considering most shows - especially animated shows - aren't significantly better. Meanwhile, what those other shows don't have is amazing animation, unusually appealing character/world design, perfect voice acting, uniquely clever writing and the most likable characters ever (ever!). Not to mention that even predicting what will happen, watching the events unfold is extremely enjoyable anyway. It's an easy fault to forgive.

You know what I noticed? Now some of my messenger friends are talking about it. I believe the topic here, and my other friends getting into it is a conspiracy against me for me to watch it

That's because it is. It's a conspiracy. It's only because we know what's best for you. And what's best for you is ponies.

Except for the fact that 1) the 'cliche'd plot" is presented in a unique manner, thus making it interesting, and 2) The fact that they use cliche'd plot is one of the many elements of the show that is intentionally unimpressive, so as to lampoon the old series, and to throw a middle finger at Hasbro for being so controlling in the design process.
1) Doesn't make it any less clichéd.2) Doesn't make it any less clichéd.
Is it so hard to admit the show has faults? You can try to rationalise them away and point the finger at the evil Hasbro all you want but it won't change anything
Hell, even JoshSim admits the fault.Also, not sure if it's been mentioned yet but some fans are making a MLP fighter called My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic.
Some gameplay footage:
They did a good job replicating the art style.
As other people have mentioned, how fricken awesome would it be to have a Hasbro vs Capcom game or something like that? MLP, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Inhumanoids... Hasbro have a massive library of characters to choose from.

I don't mean to undermine anyone's argument (in fact I skipped most of last page and am only peripherally aware of the discussion taking place), just giving my view on things.
The pony fighter looks incredibly well done (I am always astonished by the devotion and talent of this show's fanbase) but I don't generally like fighters. However, strangely, I find myself very interested in the MMOs in development - which is another genre I usually don't care about.

In any other instance I would agree! I don't usually even remotely like MMO(RPG)s, but I also usually don't watch cartoons, draw fanart, read fanfiction or any other such nonsense. But these confounded ponies...QUOTE(Pokemonmaster64 @ Jun 27 2011, 12:21 AM)

Hell, even JoshSim admits the fault.NO ONE IS DENYING THAT IT'S CLICHE'D. NOW, I'M SORRY IF YOU WANTED ME TO BOW DOWN AND SAY "THIS SHOW'S PLOT SUCKS AND I'LL NEVER SAY A GOOD WORD ABOUT THIS SHOW'S PLOT EVER AGAIN", BUT THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE FRANKLY, I ENJOY IT. IT'S CLICHE, BUT IT'S ALSO HILARIOUS. SORRY FOR TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE.

Okay, you know what? Stop this nonsense. You are getting angry over My Little Pony. And it isn't the first time, either. Next outburst gets this thread shut down.

I'll drop it, k?
@ JoshSim, not helping :/
SO...the screener copy of s2ep1 is getting reviewed...omigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh....
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, that means that the episode is basically finished, animation and everything, and they just have to get it ok'ed. From what I've been hearing, season premiere is this fall.
