Yeah, in Faust's original idea for the series, Fluttershy was the Earth pony (at that time, called Posey), and Pinkie Pie (Surprise at the time) was the Pegasus. But when Hasbro informed her that they lost the copyrights to all the G1 ponies except Applejack, for whatever reason, Pinkie's wings were taken from her and given to Fluttershy.
