Welcome back, everypony! We at the Ponytropica Blog can’t wait to continue sharing the magic of friendship with you all! But first, we need to clarify something…
✨APRIL FOOLS!✨
Ponytropica: the best blog in all of Equestria!
Sorry, fillies and gentlecolts, but our pony-focused rebrand was a ruse from the beginning.
Magic Kid kicked off the shenanigans by announcing our little rebrand and hopes to bring in the much larger MLP fanbase. She even drew this adorable banner depicting the current PHB authors as ponies!

Later, I shared my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony. Not gonna lie, this was actually an idea I had for a while. Whether or not you agree with my picks, it was a fun thought experiment as both a Poptropican and a pegasister.
The pony palooza even extended to our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat, which was renamed to the Ponytropica Help Chat. Some of you liked the blog’s bold new direction and played along. For example, Lone Flipper submitted this cute drawing of her pony-fied Poptropican to our #pop-art channel! And to top off the fun, I shared another post: Pop 5: Horses, featuring Poptropica’s most superior stallions. 🐎
The PHB will continue to be the top stop for all things Pop, but that won’t stop us from dipping our toes into other IPs. Feel free to combine your love for MLP (or some other media) with Poptropica any time of year. That’s the reason why our Pop-over series exists! 🎠
If you wish to see more Poptropica and Pony content, I highly recommend following Sleepy Biker, who has been reimagining Pop characters as various creatures in Equestria. You can follow her on Deviant Art, Instagram, and Tumblr.
And feel free to draw some other Pop characters or even your OCs as ponies. 🐴 We could probably make a sequel featuring your art.
Hello, everypony! We hope you’re loving the Ponytropica Blog so far! This rebrand finally gave me the opportunity to ask this burning question: which six Poptropica characters would represent the Elements of Harmony? Without further ado, let’s begin!
The Element of Honesty represents more than telling the truth. A truly honest person is open about their intentions, stays true to their values, and accepts harsh realities. Which Poptropica character best fits this description?
Oliver Hartman, specifically the version of him from the graphic novels, fits this idea. He’s openly passionate about his interests and lets everyone know what’s on his mind. He sympathized with the Protectors’ mission to preserve the timeline, even if that meant tragedies would have to occur. And in the last book, he decided not to change the past when given the opportunity. He’s an honest kid who accepts life the way that it is.🍎
The Element of Kindness extends beyond being polite. Those aligned with this Element are highly empathetic and go out of their way to help others in need. Who in Poptropica is the kindest of them all?
Basho abandoned his samurai training and embraced a life of peace. While many would assume a ninja master to teach only stealth and combat, Basho encourages his students to help others because it’s the right thing to do. Even after his tyrannical brother summoned the destructive Red Dragon, Basho forgave him and offered to help rebuild Edo. Basho’s great compassion proves that he’s worthy of the Element of Kindness. 🦋
The Element of Laughter is all about spreading happiness. Those who represent this Element always look on the bright side and help others do the same. Which Poptropican can lighten the mood like no other?
Like Pinkie Pie, DJ Saturday Nite loves a good party. She kept her cool in the midst of a Zomberry outbreak and continued to play funky tunes until she was rescued. When she’s not surrounded by zombies, she can be spotted on Home Island inviting players to have fun in common rooms. Need more proof? She’s labeled as an optimist in the Zomberry Island pitch bible. Easy choice for the Element of Laughter!🎈
The Element of Generosity is easy to pretty understand. People aligned with this Element aren’t tied down by their possessions and make great sacrifices to help others. Which Poptropican regularly gives the most?
When his funds began to run low, Harold Mews promised to give the last of his wealth to whoever can prove the existence of cryptids. He rescued the player after they were sabotaged, provided resources for their adventure, and gave them his money as promised. If he hadn’t already promised to give away his money, Mews would have used it to build a sanctuary for Bigfoot. Mews devoted his time and money into researching and helping cryptids, so he’s my pick to represent the Element of Generosity. 💎
The Element of Loyalty represents devotion. Loyal people will stay by your side through thick and thin, and the most loyal of all are willing to put themselves in danger to save their loved ones. Which character is the most loyal?
All three knights of Arturus are deeply committed to protecting their kingdom, so much so that they travelled to distant planets to save Princess Elyana. If I have to pick one, it would be Sir Pelasus. In the Astro Knights book, he was the first to jump into action when Mordred invaded the kingdom. It was a close call, but Sir Pelasus won the honor of representing the Element of Loyalty. 🌩️
The Element of Magic is tricky to assign because its title is so vague. According to the MLP tabletop game, Tails of Equestria, those “aligned to this Element are sensitive to the most powerful of all Elements— the Magic of Friendship.” So, Friendship is Magic. Which Poptropica character values friendship the most?
I know this sounds like a reach, but hear me out. Amelia cares for her fellow adventurers, showing them the ropes and forming strong bonds along the way. Yes, she and the Red Baron had a falling out, but that doesn’t stop Amelia from trying to reconnect and being worried about her safety. Also, Amelia loves unicorns, so she’s basically a My Little Pony fan. Amelia may tell to not trust magic dudes, but you can trust her with the Element of Magic. ✨
And those are my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony! Do you agree with my picks, or do you think some other characters are more worthy of representing these Elements? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Thank you for reading, and have a pony-tastic day!
