Myself, there never was a poll, you probably deluded yourself into thinking the fans actually had a say in the matter when it was all just the Current Sonic Team's doing. Also I disagree with you completely in several aspects. Generations just went oh City Escape lets just skip the basic tutorial experience & just make half the stage about the Truck that will be redesigned to make it feel even more absurd & out of place than it was in the original game.

Part of the problem is that the Sonic Series isn't just about Sonic, you & I have different opinions. Part of the experience was playing as Knuckles, experimenting different playstyles, different environments. Generations ignored the story aspects of previous games, the things that really made them what they were by focusing on drawn out versions of maybe 2 levels from certain Sonic Games, of which only 1 would be playable per version.

Also Yuji Naka was the Head of Sonic Team during the Dreamcast Era, & you can understand what I mean right? If Generations only had 1 act for City Escape & 1 act for say Metal Harbor it probably would have been more enjoyable for me. Even a Chao Raising feature would have been helpful for the Dreamcast Era, with Classic Era letting you play Blue Sphere, & Modern could have had some minigame of its own possibly based on Riders.
