And that goes for any other franchise. If there's a popular character, relationships are out of the question. If the character isn't that popular at all, then the company will be more comfortable with giving it a girlfriend/boyfriend. The character might be allowed to have kids, the same way Batman has Robin as his adopted son, but not having a girlfriend. Why else would Bruce Wayne remain single after all the girls he went out with? Because DC Comics knows what's going to happen to its Batman comics if he ever does. Same thing with Robin. The same thing with Sonic. As much as some fans want Sonamy to happen, or KnucklesxRouge, still don't forget that there are a lot of fans out there who either don't want to ship Sonic with Amy and prefer to ship him with someone else, or they don't want to ship Sonic with any canon girl at all. People like those are also part of the fanbase and the reason why SEGA does not allow Sonic to be shipped with any girl at all is fear from losing those fans. If Sonamy ever happens it should either happen in a specific comic, game or show that is non-canon. The moment it becomes canon, financial horror for SEGA arises. If you don't believe me, check the Sally-hate in Archie comics or the famous Sonic kiss in Sonic '06. Y'know, Batman had a kid with Talia al Ghul? Damien Wayne is the current Robin.

I think one of the reasons why the no-love Mandate is because of all the romance drama. The comics are about adventure and heroics, not soap drama. Thing is though I bet Sonic can balance a stable relationship and heroics just as fairly, it's up to the writers not to complicate the relationship.

Bunnie and Antoine are a good example.

If Sonic and Sally have interests, that make me a little happy. If the two starts flirting that make me a lot happy. If the two started dating then I'd be happy for them.

If they decided to get married, OK thats perhaps going a bit too far but as long as the relationship is as stable as Antoine and Bunnie they OK. After all King Acorn may approve as Sonic as prince or duke while Sally becomes Queen. (If Sonic married Sally and King Acorn snuffs it that doesn't make Sonic king. It's make Sally queen but Sonic would be a Prince Consort.)
