Pinkie Pie was wearing those sneakers as part of her rapper getup. Of course, she is Pinkie Pie.

Considering her inconsistent personality since S2, this would make sense. :v:

I still don't buy the whole "inconsistancy in characterisation" in Pinkie or any other pony for that matter. It depends on how the writer sees them.

Pinkie has always been on the crazy/random side to me, so I have to agree with Robot...

Agreed, it really bums me out how often "Pinkies personality changed" gets thrown around.

Pinkie Pie gets written inconsistently because she is inconsistent. It's only when she's written shallowly (Games Ponies Play being the big offender in this regard) that I get annoyed.

If she's supposed to be inconsistent, then they can write her shallowly, because she doesn't have any character to begin with.

What I see is the writers just using her as a joke machine, unless the episode focuses on her, in which case they remember she's supposed to actually be a character and not a walking joke.

Her behavior in Filli Vanilli is terrible and pretty much the lowest point in her characterization, because the writers wrote her as completly oblivious and borderline cruel character that brings Fluttershy to tears several times during the episode and then acts like she didn't do anything wrong.

But I have no doubt they'll find a way to surpass that.

What was she in Filli Vanilli, then? She wasn't really making any jokes there and the episode definitely wasn't about her. I saw that as a case of her just being unintentionally insensitive.

Reflection of Fluttershy's internal monologue, or vocalization of her own internal monologue given the way she feels if a party isn't perfect. :pinkieshrug:

It's time we accepted that Pinkie Pie is merely a shared hallucination of the Mane Five reflecting the fears and desires of each.

No...Pinkie Pie is obviously a princess that has given up her royal life and just likes hanging out in Ponyville. The rock farm is just an elaborate illusion.

Of course, there's always the theory that Pinkie is related to Celestia...

I can come up with these theories all day.

OK, hotshot, riddle me this. If Pinkie is a hallucination, how is she able to effect tangible objects? Until I get proof, I stick with the Alicorn theory.

Her affecting objects is also a hallucination.

I don't think there's inconsistency in Pinkie's characterization, because IMO her character strengths and flaws remain same in almost all the episodes.

The problem for me is that sometimes (actually nowadays quite often) writers have difficulties to keep a leash on her flaws (at least a lack of empathy and a ditzy behavior) and her flaws are exaggerated to where her behavior is painful to watch.

Ever here of Schizophrenia? :P

The hallucinations that a person sees can also be felt, smelled, heard, and maybe even tasted... They can interact and change the environment... It is a fun little disease...

Wow...remember the Spanish MLP magazine I told you guys about? I found more info on it and it's pretty interesting. Apparently, they do "comics" of the episode (they're just screenshots with text balloons on them) as well as quizzes and children's games. They also come with a pony toy, this time of Twilight Sparkle.

I'd link an image but when you try to do that on the website, you get an error message. You can read about it here:

Yeah, the magazine is released across Europe, with a substandard amount of care - clipart everywhere, etc. I got the UK issue with that Twilight, photo is somewhere in the toys thread. I took photos of some of the pages inside too! :v:

Are they all the same across Europe? I remember the horrible old clipart comics, but from what I remember of them, they were always written in German.

Essentially yes, they're the same, just with a few things swapped out for region or time specific ones (like that one having the New Year's Resolutions as it was the Dec/Jan issue). I think Germany got the magazine first.

Actually, the Spanish magazines swap the horrible clipart comics for ones done with actual show screenshots and are just retellings of episodes. You can see a page of it in the link I posted.
