Sometimes though in G3 Minty or Sky Wishes was the main character. It’s kinda hard to pin down a main character in g3. Also I though Firefly was the main in G4?

Damn… this really puts it all in perspective - in terms of generations, decade-long eras, and character design styles. We’ve come so far in the past 37 years.

I would watch a series where all the generations cross over.

Wind Whistler was usually Meghan’s pony of choice to ride if I remember correctly.

Megan was definitely the main star of the original series but as a human seemed out of place to include here. Wind Whistler IMO was the closest possible thing to a leader as far as the ponies go, sometimes sharing that role with Galaxy and Magic Star if I recall correctly.  
I also decided to include her as the de facto pony lead (as opposed to say, Firefly) for starring in the 1986 movie as well as the TV show that followed, having more total time on-screen than most of the other ponies. Ultimately I would agree though, there really was no clear primary pony character or ‘first among equals’ in the first G1 series compared to the shows that came afterwards.

I’m not really sure that Wind Whistler was the star of G1. She didn’t seem to have more prominent position than the other ponies. If any character, Megan fits this position better.

Maybe Ivy or Light Heart? They got more rereleases than most G2s and were in the video game.

Was there anything close to a “main character” in the toy only G2 ?
