Poll Results: Favorite Equestrian City

I got a few emails on this one asking where Fillydelphia was.  This poll was strictly for cities that have been shown in the series so far.  Hopefully we will see it in the future, but for now, these are the only visible ones. 

I admit, I voted for Cloudsdale.  Ponyville may be where the mane cast hang out, but come on... cloud city, with cloud factories...  You can't beat that!

Next poll: Favorite Male Pony.  Charge!

Overkill said...

Favorite male pony? Small selection.

Rohit Eligeti said...

In Cloudsdale,you'll fall down if u r not a Pegasus LOL
I prefer capital city Canterlot, that's where Princess Celestia is <3

Octavia said...

I voted Canterlot since it's where I live. ;) Manehatten is good too.

Tundra said...

Favorite male pony? After "Sweet and Elite", I'm now torn between Fancy Pants and Big Macintosh.

Viridian said...

Well, let's see...

-Big Macintosh
-Doctor Whooves
-Braeburn
-Davenport
-Swineclops
- ...uhhhh......


...

...Dang, that is a small selection. O.o

Znex said...

Fancypants should def. be on the next poll. :D

Bombedrumbum said...

@Viridian you forgot Prince Blueblood. Well done

Viridian said...

Oh blast it, how the bleep did I forget about Fancy Pants!? D:

Lord Bloomberg said...

I voted AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPLEOOSA!

Zyrin Kain said...

Yea, well, because of "Rainbow Factory" I'm wary of Cloudsdale. . .

Wheelz said...

Cloudcity...inb4 star wars jokes

HMorris73 said...

We really need to see more of Manehattan.

naahdude said...

These polls are starting and ending way too quickly o.O

As for male ponies, the results are most likely going to be Big Mac just ahead of Dr Whooves, with Braeburn, Fancy-Pants, and Caramel lagging behind.

Bombedrumbum said...

Cloud city with cloud factories. That's not the only factory up there.....

D. Shadows said...

Lets see

What about that Turnip guy that said he knew Rarity?

Mister Fancy Pant?

Big Mac?

Braeburn?

Favorite male pony... hm...

I'll vote Spike! He's an honorary pony right?

If not I vote that turnip guy that washes windows.

Eric said...

Will Brazilian Rainbow Dash be included?

I think I'll vote for Soarin.

Haze said...

I would vote for pipsqueak for favourite male pony as he has Luna as favourite princess.

TenchiFreak5 said...

I voted for Appleoosa just so I could say AAAAAAPPLEOOSA.

CTVulpin said...

Sepia Tock for best male pony!

PegasusGoshey said...

ponyville is not a city you derps

Kaijyuu said...

Voted cloudsdale. I wouldn't want to work in the factories, though.


Favorite male pony? That'll be tough. Braeburn's the sexiest, while Fancy Pant's is the awesomest.

DerpyHooves91 said...

I voted Appleoosa because it reminds my of Armadillo from Red Dead Redemption

Joey said...

I vote Fancy Pants. He's like a pony Clark Gable.

Knux said...

Don't know 'bout you guys, but I'd vote for Flutterguy.

Tundra said...

@PegasusGoshey
City. Village
Tomato. Tamato.

Bombedrumbum said...

Lets not forget Snips and Snails!!

Luna On The Moon-a said...

Maaaan. I have huge affection for Big Mac, Braeburn, Caramel and the Doctor. Hardest choice of my life.

Batty Gloom said...

I voted for Ponyville because of the Mane Six but Cloudsdale is a very close second. For obvious reasons.

SgtGarand said...

I voted Ponyville. I mean, sure Cloudsdale and Canterlot are cool. But Ponyville has Sugar Cube Corner, the Library, AJ's farm, the school house, etc. If you weren't a pegasus then you couldn't live in Cloudsdale, and the only reason I'd want to be in Canterlot would be to see Celestia and Luna.


And for the new pole, I was torn, but I went with Big Mac. He may not say much, but we do see him a lot more than we will probably see Fancy Pants.

PegasusGoshey said...

@Tundra
there is an obvious difference between a city and a town

Mr. Sandcolt said...

I went with Manehatten, I am tired of being in a small city.

and cloudsdale is raciest by nature (only Pegasus can live there)

Broph said...

On this next poll, everyone who doesn't vote Fancy Pants is objectively wrong.

LowRyder said...

Vote for Fancy Pants on the next poll! (Big Mac = over rated!)

Oh, And on THIS one, I voted for Cloudsdale. It's just the coolest looking city by far.

Weim_Time said...

Not AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPLEOOSA???

Tundra said...

@PegasusGoshey
Sure, one has a larger population and/or higher class citizens. But the point of the poll wasn't to argue. It was just a representation of opinions.

Batty Gloom said...

@Mr. Sandcolt

Now you're just being silly. All you need is a unicorn who can perform a cloud walk spell. Surely Twilight isn't the only unicorn capable of performing such a feat.

Oh, and I'm voting for Fancy Pants in the next poll. He leaves a very good first impression.

Kaijyuu said...

Ultimately voted for Braeburn.


Fancy Pants is an awesome dude, slightly more awesome than Braeburn. But he's not sexy. Yes, I can be shallow.

Deibron said...

Derpy Who....

Oh wait....

MALE, not mail...

I'll get back to you on that

8bitbleepbleep said...

SNAILS FOR LIFE OH YEEAAAH

Octavia said...

What, no Mr Breezy, "The Dude", or Hayseed Turniptruck? lol

I totally know who I'm voting for... Spitfire! Amirite? :D

But in all seriousness, I'm stuck between Hoity Toity, Fancy Pants, and adorable little Pipsqueak.

Celestia said...

I voted for Canterlot, lovely as it is Ponyville is a town.

Besides, it's where I live, it'd be wrong not to vote for it.

Oh and that new poll hmmm, i'm not sure who i'd vote for but if Blueblood wins i'd start running.

Dancing Lotus said...

I choose ponyville cause all the ponies there are crazy and I like CRAZY!

As for best stallion...big mac attack for sure, always love silent characters, and hes preety close to that

eaglehooves said...

I voted for Cloudsdale. A city made of clouds fascinates me, and I have a weak spot for pegasi anyways. Hopefully we'll see a bit more of everywhere. Cloudsdale and Manehatten feel very underrepresented in canon.

Chell said...

Csnterlot... it's just so high-end. Not to mention all the best ponies are apparently known as important ponies. Fancypants, Caramel, Derpy and Rarity. Can't ask for better than that. :D

Best stallion!? You're making me decide between Fancypants and Caramel!? What a cruel decision this is.

CityFlyer502 said...

It's probably because the show spends a lot of time there that I voted for Ponyville. I could have gone with one of the bigger locales, but I think Ponyville represents one of those places that strikes the right balance between not too busy, and not too quiet. Sort of like where I live. Besides, how can life in Ponyville possibly be dull with the Mane 6 always up to something?

Defcon said...

Sheriff Silverstar is best pony

Zyrin Kain said...

Well, since Doctor Whooves isn't a main choice, I'm gonna take Soarin. Just because he's awesome and loves pie.

Jacky2734 said...

@ Sethisto

Where the heck is Pipsqueak?

D. Shadows said...

@Celestia

The fact that he is allowed into the poll is good enough reason to run screaming. Besides how does he qualify as a colt acting like a filly all the time?

Also he actually has votes... I'm scared. I'm going to go stare at a picture of the muffin queen for a while.

Big Mac and Fancy Pants are some of the greater colts, along with Snails and Soarin.

I'm sticking to Big Mac as a vote because Fancy Pants is almost bound to win by personality alone.

ChaosDX1 said...

I also voted for Cloudsdale.

As for this one... Hm, Fancy Pants or Soarin?

One of the few high society ponies that doesn't look down his nose at everypony, versus the pie-loving stunt flier.

David said...

Best male pony is obviously Flutterguy.

But otherwise, definitely Fancy Pants. He was salvation incarnate in Sweet And Elite. I like how the entire conflict's build-up and climax was ultimately resolved NOT by overcoming adversity, NOT by deus ex machina, NOT by owning up to one's mistakes, NO. The entire episode's conflict was nuked into orbit by Fancy Pants just being an all-round awesome guy who sees greatness in everypony.

HOLY CRIPES ON TOAST, BATMAN. Clear the beds, the hospital ward for tropes and cliches is gonna be jam-packed after Fancy Pants effectively MASS-MURDERED them!

Ashfire said...

blueblood has more votes than snips and snails combined...

Ashfire said...

also, late roundup is late...

Etherdrone said...

I'd normally vote for Manehattan because, as far as we have seen, this is a city where we would normally be living in. The problem is, we didn't see Manehattan enough. The only vision we had of it was of small Applejack, and the rich douches that live there. It didn't really attach to me.

Cloudsdale is awesome, but there isn't anything for me to do there. A rainbow factory? Weather control? As awesome as that is, it's not my area of interest in life, and it isn't that what would make me want to live there. Appleloosa's pretty awesome as well, but not my kind of place to live in... Interestingly enough.

Now we've seen enough of Canterlot's high society, and I can safely say it's too classy for me to bear. Yeah, we don't know if everypony in there is a rich pony, but I feel claustrophobic when surrounded by all that stuff that doesn't have anything to do with me. So that only leaves Ponyville.

It's not a city per se, but it's a place where lots and lots of Ponies live. And it has pretty much everything they need. Seeing how that place is apparently more important than it gives away that it is, one can only imagine Ponyville as having everything anyone could need, within reason. It's not fancy at all, but it's not a boring place either. And even if we'd consider that "there is no Mane 6 there. Choose." I'd still pick Ponyville anyway. Because I just like the place, and could definitely picture myself living in it!

TL;DR - Ponyville is best city for me, at least! So I picked it.

Now... For best male pony. Voted for Big Mac.

Eeyeup.

K4RN4GE said...

I'm guessing most of you aren't big city enthusiasts if Manehattan's results are to judge. Honestly, I'm still hoping for a Las Haygas to make itself into the show. Get on it Hasbro!

As for male pony of the month, there's not really that much to choose from seeing that Equestria is definitely a matriarchael society. I'd definitely go gay for Braeburn. Just don't tell him I said that.

Ashfire said...

@Computerman897

background pony. his name is never officially mentioned

Zoronii said...

I'll admit, I voted for Canterlot. Just because there are some high-class, rich snobs doesn't mean ALL the high-class, rich people are snobs. Long story short, I like classy.

And EVERYONE vote for Fancy Pants, he's losing to Big Mac!

Vanishing said...

Soarin' is best dude pony.

Zoronii said...

Eddmario said...

I would have picked Cloudsdale, but we didn't really see that much of it so far. Same with Canterlot and Manehatten. And I'm not really into old-western style towns, so Appeloosa was out, so all that was left was Ponyville.


As for favorite male pony, Fancy Pants gets my vote, mostly because he sounded like John Cleese, but he did lose a few points because his VA also voices Prince Blueba-I mean Blueblood. I would have voted for Snips AND Snails, since they're like the Abbot and Costello of MLP, but since I could only vote once, Fancy Pants got it.

Ashfire said...

@Zoronii

fancy pants and big mac are a close tie in my book, and they will be neck and neck this entire comp. personally, i voted for big mac.

Ashfire said...

also, late roundup is still late, and now i'm going to bed.

TaylorRose said...

I voted for Ponyville in the last poll but not because it's where the mane six hang out. I honestly just love the small-town feel to it, where everypony knows everypony and the community is what a real community should be. I just really like it and I would love to live somewhere like that. :)

Tonzog said...

I feel really dumb asking this, but who is Caramel?

Ashfire said...

Nyxilis said...

I was quite torn between Canterlot and Cloudsdale. After seeing more of Canterlot, it not only has the royal castle and gardens but it's structure is in the side of that mountain as we saw some of in Sweet and Elite. So it still has a heavy sky feel to it.

Cloudsdale will always keep a solid second place and maybe one day in the fics it wont always get super savaged in every take over!

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

Damn, seems like I always miss the polls! Oh well, would have voted for Ponyville anyway. Simple ponies are best ponies. :)

Hat said...

Voted for Canterlot, where nobody sleeps because Luna comes out at night who is still adapting to 'normal volume'.
This next one I voted for the Sheriff :D

Nyte_Crawler said...

No love for Silverstar in the new poll?

Sure he didn't do/say much, but the mustache!

Ashfire said...

@Hat

good, he needed some votes, hot-headed though he may be XD

Flutterfan said...

I voted for Cloudsdale, it just seemed really fresh and original.

Why the love for Fancy Pants? I don't get it. He's just another rich pony but he stuck up for Rarity at the end.

I have to say if there is a weakness in the show it's lack of cool male characters.

But it doesn't bother me since so many cartoons (or liveaction for that matter) have had a lack of cool female characters I guess we were due for one that marginalized the males.

TehTrojanPony said...

as others have mentioned, how come Pipsqueak isn't an option? I don't think he should be relegated to the generic "other/background pony" option. I mean, how many other ponies can you absolutely confirm their opinion that Princess Luna is their favorite princess?

that being said, I picked Soarin', lol. Because pie is cool, and being a wonderbolt is cool. And because they haven't introduced Spitfire's apparent twin brother Rapidfire as a charactger yet...

Ashton said...

How could Cloudsdale have lost?! Is it not where the Most Awesome Pony in all of Equestria is from!? Not to mention the Wonderbolts!

Seriously though, I love the Classical architecture, even if RD wasn't from there I'd have voted for it. (Anyone else feel like Canterlot is more Arabic than Medieval inspired?) Not to mention it's a city in the clouds, which makes it 2x as awesome to me.

Best Male pony... there are so few choices... (though nice to see as of S2 there ARE more males than before) Personally I felt that even if he was the best of the 'upper class' that Fancy Pants was still too snobbish (and honestly, I'm shocked Prince Blueblood got any votes, must be for his looks instead of his character) Of the choices, I chose Soarin, he's nice down to earth (so to speak) and the hint of Canon RD+Soarin shipping is so cute ^___^

Kit said...

Pipsqueak doesn't count as male pony? o~o
D: Now who do I vote for?

Levishm Rae said...

Where was Trottingham, Western-supermare and Stalliongrad?

Woof Hooves said...

im sure ponyville got hit as its just what everyone see's constantly...cloudsdale is the best..period!

best male well..thats a hard choice between soarin and big mac

Woof Hooves said...

best male well..thats a hard choice between soarin and big mac

Ergo Cogito said...

Breaburn, as annoying as he was, would have had my vote. He was funny annoying.

Then Fancy Pants happened. This pony does whatever the hell he wants, and says what he thinks. No matter what he does, the Canterlot elite somehow just eat it up. More importantly, he knows it. He knows that a single word from him will change the opinion of his peers. But instead of taking complete advantage of it, he uses his powers of charisma for good. Sure, he probably gets a lot out of it, but who wouldn't?

Nameless said...

What, no Pipsqueak? He's my choice

Maz said...

Big Mac is best pony. Of all ponies.

herpyderpy said...

pfft sif any town could beat Ponyville.

Had a hard time deciding between Big Mac and Fancypants this time, went for Mac because hes OG.

Stormcaller said...

I went with Ponyvillie. Mostly due to the fact I asked myself if I was a pony where would I like to live. It just seems like such a nice small town town. Besides. Cloudsdale and Canterlot are both within flying distance for visits. So woo sky trips!!

goldenCapitalist said...

Around Christmas Seth you should ask which pony everyone would like to receive as a Christmas present.

Justin said...

Eh I went with Canterlot, and now I'm voting Fancy Pants, like Rarity I'm a Canterlot Pony at heart

drakrrth said...

I voted for an OC: Firewall!
TTEOAP is best fanfic.

Within canon, I'll say Big Mac. You hardly ever see the others.

Harwick said...

@Tonzog

Caramel is likely one of the Apple clan (some fans cast him as a hired farm hand, I think). I believe his one and only appearance was towards the end of "Winter Wrap Up" where it's mentioned that he did something to screw up the planting, right before Twilight leaps in with her organizational skills. I think fans were so desperate for a male pony with a canon name that he's gained a rather inflated importance.

Harwick said...

I voted for Canterlot because I think all of the backgrounds set there, especially those in the opening two episodes of the second season, are absolutely incredible. The castle, the mountainside, the airships, the throne room, the hedge maze, the statue garden, the stained glass... Artistically, that place is boss.

Big Mac would easily get my vote if he said more than this usual two words. However, when he has had longer lines I've not really cared for his voice acting. It doesn't really sound... natural, I suppose.

I went with Fancy Pants. I'd like to see him return.

But no Pipsqueak, Mr. Cake, Rarity's Dad, or Hayseed Turniptruck? They've had bigger roles and more lines than some on that list. And if he had a name, I'd consider voting for the groundskeeper during "Best Night Ever".

cjwcjwcjwcjw said...

I voted for Ponyville, because Canterlot and Manehatten is full of 'high-class' assh*les, Cloudsdale is kind of racist to non-pegasus ponies and Appleloosa is really stereotypic. Damn it, Ponyville seems like the only decent place to live.

Shadow Heart said...

Canterlot is the best and worst for one reason.

Strong liquor

100th comment

Sgt Byrd said...

Mayor called Ponyville a city in Mare do Well ep, so Ponyville is a city. It has its own Hydroelectric Dam.

Why is derpy left absent from new poll? Voting other then.

Aeolus said...

I voted Apleoosa so I could say the name

Aeolus said...

I voted Apleoosa so I could say the name

Harwick said...

@Sgt Byrd

Derpy is female, so she doesn't exactly qualify for the current poll.

Sgt Byrd said...

@Harwick

I know what I saying :)

Arkalidor said...

Best male pony? Are you serious? As if Big mac had any concurrence at all...
oh wait... Fancy Pants? hmmmm yeah he's nice, but seriously he's no Big Macintosh.

Al_Skylark said...

I also voted for Cloudsdale xD

Harwick said...

@Sgt Byrd

Ah, I gotcha. My brain doesn't really kick in until noon.

(Re-doing my comment since I didn't realize the poll left out Pipsqueak, Mr. Cake, Rarity's dad, Hayseed Turnip Truck, and the gardener pony from "Best Night Ever"...)

Top 5 male ponies, IMHO: Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Snails, Fancypants, and Mr. Cake, in that order; honorable mentions to Pipsqueak, Hayseed Turnip Truck, Rarity's dad, Sheriff Silverstar, Soarin', and Snips. Caramel has starred in one fanfic that I really liked (can't remember the name, but it's the one where he stumbles across a village of ponies without cutie marks), but he hasn't done enough in the show to make an impression on me. Jet Set, Blueblood, and Hoity Toity get no love from me, sorry. And I would like to see that gardener pony again, if only so they can actually give him a cutie mark.

frith said...

Cloudsdale is cool as is Canter-lot
But Ponyville has every pony every pony I know

Beautiful buildings count for a lot
But in the end that's all they've got
It can get lonely up there
So I know where I'd go
Down to Ponyville to every pony every pony I know

Yes, I'd leave the gardens and the fancy show
To live near every pony
To talk to every pony
To laugh with every pony every pony every pony I know

Fleymevas said...

Aw, I voted Canterlot.

You know... because... Princess Celestia...

Rarodar said...

No Dr. Whooves in the poll?

Pave said...

(Oh noes, Pave is gonna tell a story...)
To me, the voting selection was decided do my history: I originally started my life on farm (Sweet Apple Acres), from which I moved at the age of 5 to a rather large village (Applelosa) which was located next to rather small city (Cloudsdale (more details at the end: "symbolism")).
Few years later we moved back to my mother's birthcity (Manehattan), where I would live my next +11-years of my life, while wishing to be live once again at my birthfarm during that whole time.
Fast forward to March-April 2009 and I'm on my way move into my birthtown (Ponyville), which is soon to become part of big merger with several other towns, villages (including Appleloosa) and a city (the same Cloudsdale). While officially we should be consired as one big "Cloudsdale" now, we still call Appleloosa and Ponyville as their own original names. And our are mails are delivered normally with same address via goverment held postal service (Mail Mare Inc. (oh now I'm just taking this too far)). So yeah, fancy mancy "hip" political thing happened, and things went haywire. But that's another story (no, that wasn't how Equestria was made...)).
Today I'm still wishing to move back to "Apple Acres" (yes, there's actualy quite many apple trees too, in case you wonder). But first I'll need to work hard to earn enough money to build my own barn/hut/cottage, into to edge of my very own Everfree forest. :P

And that's why I picked Ponyville. Why didn't we just pick that name as our new name of the municipal area? Because current politics here are super derped (in a really bad way, that is).

Those who don't know what the merger I talked of was, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merger_(politics)

So what's the symbolism of Cloudsdale? Well even today, I won't able to visit that city without any kind of help, either from my acquaintaces or familily. In short, I need a car to visit there, and I don't own one. And car = wings = magic to help walk on clouds.

(Thank goodness Pave is not gonna sing about this again...)

Pave said...

@Pave

(curses for no editing possibility, forgot to add this).

So what about Canterlot? Certainly "ponified" version of the capital of my country looked nice. But then again, in reality that place is just way too growded and too expensive. Not to mention almost non-existing contact to anything similiar to Ponyville (plus extra +100 kilometres of distance).
I have visited and stayed at Canterlot several times though, mind you. But while mainly visitng at the amusement park. Oh, and of course it's also one of the capital places for cuisers, when you want to go South instead of West (hopefully on next Winter Wrap Up Ditzy Doo actually finally goes this location instead the airports at North like last year, or Western Docks like year before).

And that's how I "ponified" my decision.

Segatendo said...

After some thought, I voted Ponyville, but not because the main cast live there.

HeinousActsZX said...

Why isn't Pipsqueak in the poll?

Travis Smith said...

How did miss this pole? Oh right live in my own city

ViewtifulSteve said...

No Doctor? Fine, Braeburn's my man. Sorry Fancy Pants!

Akira Reimei said...

Aw poor Cloudsdale it's so awesome! Looks like Big Macs gonna win....I'm voting for Fancy Pants because he is a genuine gentleman. He isn't a total snob like everyone else in Canterlot.

a_mac_a said...

WHERE IS THE DOCTOR?
Doctor Who(oves)?
EXACTLY!

Fedge said...

Voted for Cloudsdale, I mean it looks serene and peaceful up there in the sky.

SatRock said...

cloud city, with cloud factories... You can't explain that!

ponyvangelist said...

@Levishm Rae I also note with displeasure that Mareseille, Whinneapolis, Mexicolt City, Seaddle, Baltimare, Appleanta, Detrot, Neigh Orleans and Mareskow are not on the list

And, of course, Hoofington.
