Over the My Little Pony generations Hasbro has chosen core character sets within each generation, but the treatment of 'main characters' has varied over time.

Generation 1

My Little Pony 'n Friends
Firefly
Gusty
(toy line)
Sundance
My Little Pony Tales
Sweetheart
Starlight
Clover
Patch
Bon Bon
Bright Eyes
Melody


(Anyone better acquainted with the G1 shows, please jump in.)

Generation 2

Sundance (Sunsparkle)
Light Heart
Sweet Berry
Ivy

Generation 2 is unique among the generations in that no TV shows or movies were made depicting its characters. (The first DVD releases of the G1 TV and movies were released during this time, very often with G2 artwork/ponies all over the packaging, which was/is confusing.)

Despite the lack of animated unity the main characters were established by featuring only the same four ponies together on all merchandise as well as occasional re-releases. Towards the end of the line these characters started being released under different names. They were also featured in the Euro comics(???).
