I think that's a coincidence. Lots of shows have characters with similar personalities as each other, and MLP with Arthur is a bit of a stretch.

I find it more likely that some characters are based on Powerpuff Girls. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo remind me a lot of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.

But like I said, it's a complete coincidence.
