Pharynx's one episode resolved his arc; presumably he's now just hanging around in the Changeling Kingdom, possibly serving as their equivalent of a Captain of the Royal Guard. Having Starlight move to Ponyville pretty much killed things for folks in her village; if they hadn't introduced SugarMac as a pairing we probably wouldn't have seen her again except for background appearances like the villagers showing up for Starlight's award ceremony. The problem with Babs is that she lives in Manehattan, which isn't a location that occurs super often. Button Mash, meanwhile, has never been more than a background character from what I can recall.

It's an unfortunate aspect of this series that a lot of characters get one episode-or less-and then never show up again, or at least not with any prominence. When was the last time we even SAW Chief Thunderhooves or Little Strongheart, for instance? And don't even get me started on the bat ponies...Believe me, I feel your pain, but it's just how things played out.
