Yes, but there is a distinct separation between their roles and the roles of the Mane 6 and Spike, in that the CMC never get any character development, possible exception of Sisterhooves Social (which improves the relationship between Rarity and Sweetie Bell, although Rarity probably got most of the character development there), One Bad Apple (where Apple Bloom and Scootaloo realize they should have told Applejack about Babs bullying them), and Sleepless in Ponyville (where Rainbow Dash sorta becomes like a big sister to Scootaloo). The Cutie Pox doesn't quite count because Apple Bloom goes back to wanting her cutie mark right away, just won't be trying it that way again
