----
!! ''My Little Pony Tales'' contains examples of:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Sweetheart and Teddy (although in Teddy's case it's more like JerkassFacade). And later, Starlight and Ace.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Starlight has a crush on Ace, who's far more interested in Melody, who's more interested in herself. Averted with Sweetheart[=/=]Teddy and Bright Eyes[=/=]Lancer, however.
* AnthropomorphicShift
* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: Subverted in "Roll Around The Clocks": Melody leads the other girls in giving Bright Eyes an UnnecessaryMakeover while Lancer is given a similar overhaul by the boys. Both makeovers wind up backfiring, as they reject each other's new looks and attitudes. It's only when they start [[BeYourself dressing and acting normally again]] that they quietly get together, much to Melody and Ace's confusion.
* BigEater: Bon-Bon, which ''maybe'' could explain her shifting model and shifting weight between episodes.
* {{Blackmail}}: Done to Ace and Lancer in "Shop Talk" when the girls lure them into doing something embarrassing to entertain some baby ponies they're babysitting, then [[EmbarrassingPhotograph take pictures]] and threaten to expose them unless they stop teasing Teddy.
** Teddy also threatens to show "Bon-Bon's Diary" to Ms. Hackney unless she buys him concert tickets.
* BornUnlucky: The poor, poor, Clover. Her own unsecurity, gullible nature and rampant superstition only makes it worse.
* BornLucky: Clover again. Despite her bad luck, things always work out for her... in the end.
* CantGetAwayWithNothing: In "Bon-Bon's Diary", she cheats on a math test and is racked by guilt afterward. Doesn't help that she wrote about it in her diary, which Teddy finds and {{Blackmail}}s her with.
* CatScare: Seen in "Slumber Party" when the girls investigate a noise in the attic.
* ChangelingFantasy: "Princess Problems" turns it on its head, as Patch is ''horrified'' at the thought she might be a princess and have to leave her friends and adoptive family behind. [[spoiler:Played straight when she realizes fellow orphan ''Rosy'' is the real lost princess.]]
* ClingyMacGuffin: The unlucky white teapot in "Out of Luck". Clover just can't seem to get rid of it, no matter what she does...
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Patch has her moments.
* CrazyPrepared: miss Hackney has her every lesson ''recorded on tape'' just in case she ever got sick. As evidenced in "An Apple For Starlight", the player with a tape is always in the drawer of her desk, ready to use.
* EdutainmentShow: It was one of the first ''slice of life'' type show to enter the market back when the market lacked shows of said genre. And in hindsight, it was TooGoodToLast.
* FantasticRacism: Apparently, mainland ponies believe that tropical ponies practice cannibalism and make [[strike: human]] pony sacrifices to the volcano.
* FeatherFingers: My gosh, the confusion here rivals ''Cars''. How the heck are animals with hooves supposed to use guitars and ice-cream scoops anyway?
* FurryConfusion: Like Woah. See immediately above.
** The most outstanding example had to be royal carriage being pulled by ''horses''. In a world of sentient ''ponies''. Of course one could assume that in this world draft horses are to ponies what chimpanzees are to humans, but still...
* GarageBand: Rockin' Beats.
* GenreShift: From ''fantasy'' to ''slice of life''. Fans tuned in hoping to see ponies and Megan fighting evil. They got something along the lines of {{Arthur}} instead.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The animators seemed to be rather fond of Bon-Bon's rear. She also got BedroomEyes and even ''breasts'' on a few episodes.
** One ImagineSpot featured Bon-Bon as a cover girl for a magazine. She's wearing a onepiece bathing suit that resalts her breasts and next to her, two young mares (dressed as nurses) are hugging while they stare deep into each other's eyes. ''Wow.''
* GossipyHens: Melody and Starlight in "Shop Talk", kicking off that episode's plot when Sweetheart won't participate.
* GreenAesop: "Who's Responsible".
* HappilyAdopted: Patch.
* HowUnscientific: The episode "Up, Up, and Away" features a UFO and... [[CanonDiscontinuity unicorns]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: Ace was voiced by Brad Swaile. This led to a small scale meme proclaiming Ace as [[DeathNote god of this new world]]. And he's also a [[MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Meister]] and the [[MobileSuitGundam White Devil]].

** Teddy is Eddy from ''EdEddNEddy''!
* HollywoodPudgy: Bon-Bon [[DependingOnTheArtist tends to be]] drawn this way, and many of her spotlight episodes have her worrying about her body image.
* HumanFocusedAdaptation: Rare example of an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] -- this and all series that followed were completely human-free.
* IWantSong: "The Best Dream", Bon-Bon's song in "The Masquerade" about her dream of becoming a model.
* InvisibleAnatomy: The Ponies can hold objects, grip on things, press buttons, play musical instruments, hold small pencils and operate precision machines, using just their hooves.
* {{Jerkass}}: Everyone took turns to be this against each other, but Melody, Patch, Ace and Teddy were the biggest offenders of all.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Used at the end of the episode "Just for Kicks"
* LockedInARoom: Lancer engineers this to force his quarreling friends to reconcile in "Happy Birthday Sweetheart". ''His'' version involves stranding the lot of them on his father's private yacht.
* MoralityPet: Sweetheart serves as this for Teddy, as she's typically the one who sets him back on the straight and narrow.
* NoExportForYou: ''None'' of the toys based on this series were available in the USA.
** The series never got a DVD release in the US.
* OffModel: Boy, the animators cut a ''lot'' of corners when making this series (This is {{AKOM}} we're talking about after all). For example, when the ponies are facing to the camera, they become something ''hideous.''
** Bon-Bon's weight shifted among episodes as if the animators couldn't decide if she was pudgy, fat or a complete porker.
* PlayingSick: Bon-Bon does this in "Too Sick to Notice" after one of her younger brothers catches the flu and the rest of the family dotes on him to the point she feels ignored.* PowerpuffGirlHands: See InvisibleAnatomy.
* ThePrankster: Patch and Teddy. Both have taken it too far, to the point where Patch sabotaged Bright Eye's class project and caused its failure while Teddy got the girls disqualified from a swim meet.
* RelationshipUpgrade: Bright Eyes and Lancer became an OfficialCouple after "Roll Around the Clocks".
* SchizoTech: Ponies have desktop computers and... steam trains. Also, the cars on the streets range from pre-war vans to modern convertibles.
* SliceOfLife: The basic style of the show.
* TakeAThirdOption: "Happy Birthday Sweetheart" sees the other girls telling Sweetheart she has to choose between them or Teddy: either uninvite him from her upcoming party, or none of them will come. Sweetheart responds by tearfully canceling the party.
** When Clover wins two concert tickets in "And the Winner is...", instead of picking one of her friends to go with her, she decides to hold another lotto with ''both'' tickets up for grabs. [[spoiler:Melody and Clover win, but wind up pawning them off for pizza money and watching the concert on TV with the rest of the girls]].
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The only way to tell a background pony's gender is by the length of it's mane or by it's single clothing accesory.
* TheKiddieRide: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8SW-0xlw0 This Youtube video's description says it all]]. For those unable to see the video tho: [[spoiler:The rides were made in the early 90s and were modelled after My Little Pony Tales characters. They were licensed, but [[DidNotDoTheResearch frequently mismatched the color of the ponies with their symbols]]. The company that made the ride was subsequently bought over by Jolly Roger]].
* ThemeTuneRollCall: Well, for the core female ponies anyway.
--> ''Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright-Eyes, Patch and Clover/Bon-Bon's baking cookies, girls, hurry up on over!
* ThroughHisStomach: Referenced by Bon-Bon's line in the song "Play It Cool":
--> '''Bon-Bon:''' Want to catch a boy's eye? / Bake a chocolate cream pie!
* TwiceShy: Bright Eyes and Lancer, until their RelationshipUpgrade in "Roll Around the Clocks".
* WhatTheHellHero: Lancer calls out Teddy and the rest of Sweetheart's friends when their feuding leads to her miserably cancelling her own birthday party.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Sweetheart found herself torn between Teddy and her friends several times, with the girls demanding she choose them over him or lose their friendship.
The show centered on seven pony girls named Starlight Sweetheart, Melody, Brighteyes, Patch, Clover, and Bonbon. However, the show is notable for averted the LadyLand rule that ''My Little Pony'' normally prescribes to by introducing three male ponies: Ace, Teddy, and Lancer. The show focused on their daily and how they dealt with things like stage fright, dating, personal responsibility, the environment, pets, cultural differences, school, and other things normal kids deal with.
----
!! ''My Little Pony Tales'' contains examples of:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Sweetheart and Teddy (although in Teddy's case it's more like JerkassFacade). And later, Starlight and Ace.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Starlight has a crush on Ace, who's far more interested in Melody, who's more interested in herself. Averted with Sweetheart[=/=]Teddy and Bright Eyes[=/=]Lancer, however.
* AnthropomorphicShift
* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: Subverted in "Roll Around The Clocks": Melody leads the other girls in giving Bright Eyes an UnnecessaryMakeover while Lancer is given a similar overhaul by the boys. Both makeovers wind up backfiring, as they reject each other's new looks and attitudes. It's only when they start [[BeYourself dressing and acting normally again]] that they quietly get together, much to Melody and Ace's confusion.
* BigEater: Bon-Bon, which ''maybe'' could explain her shifting model and shifting weight between episodes.
* {{Blackmail}}: Done to Ace and Lancer in "Shop Talk" when the girls lure them into doing something embarrassing to entertain some baby ponies they're babysitting, then [[EmbarrassingPhotograph take pictures]] and threaten to expose them unless they stop teasing Teddy.
** Teddy also threatens to show "Bon-Bon's Diary" to Ms. Hackney unless she buys him concert tickets.
* BornUnlucky: The poor, poor, Clover. Her own unsecurity, gullible nature and rampant superstition only makes it worse.
* BornLucky: Clover again. Despite her bad luck, things always work out for her... in the end.
* CantGetAwayWithNothing: In "Bon-Bon's Diary", she cheats on a math test and is racked by guilt afterward. Doesn't help that she wrote about it in her diary, which Teddy finds and {{Blackmail}}s her with.
* CatScare: Seen in "Slumber Party" when the girls investigate a noise in the attic.
* ChangelingFantasy: "Princess Problems" turns it on its head, as Patch is ''horrified'' at the thought she might be a princess and have to leave her friends and adoptive family behind. [[spoiler:Played straight when she realizes fellow orphan ''Rosy'' is the real lost princess.]]
* ClingyMacGuffin: The unlucky white teapot in "Out of Luck". Clover just can't seem to get rid of it, no matter what she does...
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Patch has her moments.
* CrazyPrepared: miss Hackney has her every lesson ''recorded on tape'' just in case she ever got sick. As evidenced in "An Apple For Starlight", the player with a tape is always in the drawer of her desk, ready to use.
* EdutainmentShow: It was one of the first ''slice of life'' type show to enter the market back when the market lacked shows of said genre. And in hindsight, it was TooGoodToLast.
* FantasticRacism: Apparently, mainland ponies believe that tropical ponies practice cannibalism and make [[strike: human]] pony sacrifices to the volcano.
* FeatherFingers: My gosh, the confusion here rivals ''Cars''. How the heck are animals with hooves supposed to use guitars and ice-cream scoops anyway?
* FurryConfusion: Like Woah. See immediately above.
** The most outstanding example had to be royal carriage being pulled by ''horses''. In a world of sentient ''ponies''. Of course one could assume that in this world draft horses are to ponies what chimpanzees are to humans, but still...
* GarageBand: Rockin' Beats.
* GenreShift: From ''fantasy'' to ''slice of life''. Fans tuned in hoping to see ponies and Megan fighting evil. They got something along the lines of {{Arthur}} instead.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The animators seemed to be rather fond of Bon-Bon's rear. She also got BedroomEyes and even ''breasts'' on a few episodes.
** One ImagineSpot featured Bon-Bon as a cover girl for a magazine. She's wearing a onepiece bathing suit that resalts her breasts and next to her, two young mares (dressed as nurses) are hugging while they stare deep into each other's eyes. ''Wow.''
* GossipyHens: Melody and Starlight in "Shop Talk", kicking off that episode's plot when Sweetheart won't participate.
* GreenAesop: "Who's Responsible".
* HappilyAdopted: Patch.
* HowUnscientific: The episode "Up, Up, and Away" features a UFO and... [[CanonDiscontinuity unicorns]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: Ace was voiced by Brad Swaile. This led to a small scale meme proclaiming Ace as [[DeathNote god of this new world]]. And he's also a [[MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Meister]] and the [[MobileSuitGundam White Devil]].
** Not to mention that [[XMenEvolution Sweetheart is Kitty Pryde, Melody is Wanda Maximoff, Patch is Jean Grey, Bon Bon is Jubilee and Ace is Kurt Wagner]]
** Patch is is voiced by Venus Terzo, meaning a [[RanmaOneHalf Familiar red-pigtailed-hair girl is related to her]].
** Sweetheart is also [[DragonBall Bulma]]. Not to mention, her voice actor also did [[BrainPowered Hime]], [[SaberMarionetteJ Lime]], [[CardCaptorSakura Tomoyo]] and [[MobileSuitGundamWing that girl who believes to be Trieze's daughter]].
*** Even weirder that Clover is also [[DragonBall Bulma]], [[MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Stella Loussier]] and [[MobileSuitGundam00 Anew Returner]].
*** Bon Bon is {{Hamtaro}} herself. ''Now seriously?''
** Melody herself is actually Cotton Candy and Cheerilee from Generation 3. Even her voice matches [[TheVisionOfEscaflowne Hitomi]], [[InuYasha Sango]], [[MobileSuitGundam00 Louise]] and [[{{Ranma}} Ukyo]].
** Starlight herself is the [[InuYasha undead ex-girlfriend of InuYasha]] and [[MobileSuitGundam that Indian Newtype who is Amuro's first love interest]].
** Teddy is Eddy from ''EdEddNEddy''!
