What sl213 is saying is absolutely true,the Sonic games haven't been good since Sonic Adventure 2 plus Sega is running out of ideas for the series, another reason the series is dying is because of the lack of development time and beta testing before the game is released.

true enough. But I don't think anyone will deny that the decline of sonic games came about when all of these extra characters were announced.
although, Sonic CD did have amy, and that was the best one, so after that with Shadow and that raunchy girl-bat, etc.

I agree, I think when things started to get more complex people decided that it was more difficult with the games.
Yes,I agree that some of the characters are just not needed. xD

well if you consider that sonic was ALMOST on par with Mario back in the 90's that should be evidence enough of how much sonic has fallen. I appreciate Sega's attempts, though futile, with Sonic 4. But I think Sonic is dying, but Sega won't let his death by painless.
well that sounded darker than intended....

haha, I love sonic to this day. I feel that its much more interesting with fans creating moods and feelings. I feel that mario is just no where near as popular as sonic is today. I don't feel as if its dying, quite differently actually.
and maybe a little morbid xD

from a gaming standpoint, which both mario and sonic both are intended and published mainly as, Mario games are masterpieces where as sonic has become a symbol of mediocrity in mainstream culture, well at the very least the gaming community.
Mario, I'd be willing to put money on, is the face of the video game industry. Sonic has always been in his shadow (no pun intended ) and even in Sonic's prime he didn't compete with Mario. Now that Sonic has tanked, while Miyamoto has kept Mario as an influential dreadnought in todays gaming, saying Sonic is more popular doesn't seem logical to me personally.
clearly you are a huge fan, and know a lot of other huge fans, but you are few when looking at the big picture. I would love to see sonic make a return to greatness, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll just be playing Mario

"I would love to see sonic make a return to greatness, but I'm not holding my breath." <~ Exactly. ;w; It's the same for me. This is actually why I don't utilize my "Sonic fanwork" into a fan-based version of the video games' atompshere. I'm no longer interested in the video game/plot to the point of caring about fundamenting it. I have no problem giving and talking about "ideas" when it comes to plot-points, characterization, or whatever - but that's it.
In my childhood days, I was into the plot of the video games and expanded my imagination with that plot by drawing a series of embarrassing crud that a blind child would call "comic book art." :icontongeblush: I would even cross them over with Pokemon or Final Fantasy for an "epic adventure" of page clutter. Because I exerted my "adventure-focused" ideas and grew out of my interest for the game's plots [which was everything after Sonic Heroes], I turned to an alternative interest in my older-teen years since I was "spent" on the previous one. I had inspiration and my time with it, but when the games became weaker...well, instead of being inspired to make them "better," I just wasn't inspired at all since my tunnel-vision had branched out to other things.
By technicality, I left the Sonic fanbase when my "childhood" died. I returned, when I was seeking out my childhood the most ["growing up" adds a lot of demons to your list sometimes, and being a cartoonist at heart, "cartoons" have a widely creative impact on my emotionality ]. Also by technicality, the franchise is weak and flimsy to me at this point and I go could as far as having a drastic hate/love relationship with this franchise like that of a "True Neutral." Because of this, I have no interest to fall in love with the plot again [unless it salvages itself for my personal tastes]. What glued me to the fandom happened to mysteriously be the individual characters, something I didn't focus on in my childhood, and the fact that their under-developed portrayals appealed to me greatly. The "half-assed" characters woo me; the plot does not. They're the aspects that are "begging to be expanded on" to me, and by chance, I coincidentally found two under-developed characters who - to me - would further the other's expansion through an inspirational [though canonically nonexistent/incomplete] bond at end's meets, and it turned into an "all aboard ship" that I've surprisingly fallen in love with. Exploring a tale of two of my favorite "half-assed" characters [ ] finding the room to grow under an "adventure together" is what interests me, and it is all that's keeping me in the fanbase.
I'm interested in the "shipping" because I'm interested in the individual characters, and I don't feel that my care is insignificant simply because I didn't get into the plot and don't embark on it like everyone else. Everyone else can do that if that's what they liked, but I was reeled in differently, and the fandom world gives you the freedom to express what you fell in love with regarding a series or its characters. My love for what interested me is no wronger than the love someone else has for the plot. The common-ground is that it's love all the same; we're in love with something that belongs to the series and it brought us here, so hey. I WILL play the games because of the game and the characters just to see what's "poppin," [otherwise I can't critique it or keep up to date], but I utilize my fanon-freedom in the alternative interests that don't grace the canon simply because it isn't in canon [or the one thing that canon hasn't butchered due to its nonexistence ]. The canon mindset and the fanon mindset are two different things to me, and I treat it as such. After all, I would have a problem if my romantic OTP interest came into the canon [since only "I" can please my vision of it for myself], but for fanfiction it works for the fact it's all that is.
....So it gives me something to be entertained with whilst the overall video game is still "repairing iself."
...Sorry. Got off subject a bit.

from what I've seen (these 'romantic' sonic pictures pop up all the time) there is a complete disregard to whatever characteristics are established in the games, which are the source, no matter how bad. If you break the character apart to feed personal gain, it isn't really that character anymore. Not that I think the characters apart from sonic are anywhere near important enough to maintain characteristics but thats besides the point.

I see that you have a big opinion towards sonic and mario. I am guessing your a mario fan? :3
I feel that mario doesn't really give much room for thinking and that's why its still popular.
Sonic games have a story that is to be completed, and once completed the game is over.
Mario on the otherhand,has no end and you can keep playing over and over, that's why I feel its still popular. xD

well, I grew up with both of them (mario more so I'll admit)
I was fond of both characters, but Sonic has just imploded, and I've lost all respect for the series. I don't think Sonic games have stories deep enough, nor characters interesting enough, to be worth playing through terrible gameplay for. A fine example is the xbox 360 release of the 3d Sonic the Hedgehog. It had promise, but ended up being a very awkward experience both story wise and gameplay wise. I play mario because they are the best games you can buy. Mario has been an influence on the entire medium of video games since he first appeared. Even the repercussions from the unique features in the 'Galaxy' games have been felt already. which should be evidence enough.
