Yeah, it's always fun when we see things like that because we have no idea how they'll play off each other and it's fun.

I think when they wrote the show's bible they detailed how each character would react to one another. I guess they said that some of the character wouldn't naturally hang out with each other making some pairing more rare. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie's personalities clash so their pairing is one of the rarest.

Still, they are all friends with each other, so it would be nice to see more character combinations that aren't quite as expected. I mean, did Trade Ya! really have to go with the old standbys of shoving Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash and Rarity and Applejack together again? Hell, even in the comics, Rarity's first starring role in the Friends Forever series was with her and Applejack.

And even if they do clash, it would be a interesting thing for FiM to show how they settle their differences.

Seriously. Like, if there were an episode starring Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, it seems like that could easily use their similarities (while they both seem to want happiness for everyone...) and differences (...they have wildly different ideas on how to make others happy). Perhaps it could look back to Pinkie's well-meaning but insensitive actions in Filli Vanilli.

I may need to remind everyone that I do not write for the show nor do I have any control over the direction of the pairings. :-P

I'm just pointing out reasons why I think they may have been avoiding it. :ponynet:

Why do you say that? They could have explored comedic and story possibilities with other combinations of the Main Six. :pinkieshrug:

Pairing them up that way is putting those with the most opposite personalities together, which has been a formula for wacky comedy for ages.

Also, there are those of us who enjoy the so-called "standard" pairings and don't think they're getting old. :vogue: Fun as it would be to get an episode focusing on Rarity and Rainbow Dash, say, I'm not exactly upset to see Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's friendship be developed further.

While I do certainly welcome different pairings, I will never say no to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stories.

I'm sure as the seasons go on they will have to look further to more unique pairings.

Styill, eventually we're gonna have something absolutely crazy, like AJ yearning to fly or Rainbow Dash trying to buddy up with Discord.

Eh, as long as the show can pull it off, I'd be fine with those kind of storylines. It shouldn't get TOO weird or out there but it might work.

Imagine it will be shortly. It just ended.

here's the clip. Long enough to give context, not long enough to ruin anything in the episode.

I know, I am so bloody sick of Rarity and Applejack episodes and things.We get it. They're opposites. Move along. I mean it's like every episode with them can be summed up in one of Trey Parker's South Park fake film trailers. "She wants to keep everything one way. She wants them the other way. They don't want to see from the other's point of view! Rarity and Applejack in: Herp de Derp de Diddly Herp di Do. Rated Arrgh for pirates, fuck you!"

I mean the only other thing with Rarity is Fluttershy, and that was one, maybe two episodes? And there hasn't been anything else! Really, I want to bash my head on the desk if S5 has another episode like that. It shows how unimaginative a good part of the writing team is. It's been done to death. I'd be more forgivable if it still did another friend every other time, but no. They always put Rarity with Applejack. :ohrarity:

What about when Fluttershy was hanging out with Rarity in Castle mane-ia
or the Applejack/Fluttershy conflict in Bats!
or the whole episode dedicated to Applejack and Pinkie
or Rarity and Fluttershy's self-conscious showbiz singing adventure

I mean I'm all for more variation, but I don't get the hate for some pairings being more common than others. :pinkieshrug:

There's nothing wrong with Applejack (and from her perspective, it's a miracle to get an Applejack story that isn't about her family), it's just that they shove Rarity together with Applejack an awful lot. Sure, opposite personalities are good for making jokes, but it's been done a bunch of times now.
