It's seems probable that maybe the Ponies were completely unaware of this Nightmare entity that took possession of Luna, they simply assumed that Luna became evil of her own free will, but most likely the entity was never revealed in the show, I mean Lauren Faust herself said that Luna & Nightmare Moon were not the same being, most likely they were 2 beings sharing the same body, but the Nightmare Entity was the stronger one because Luna gave in to her jealousy & insercurity which the Nightmare creature was feeding on to enable it to possess Luna & take her place, sort of like the Venom Symbiote bonding with Eddie Brock from the Spider-Man comics.
