As I said, it's probably not canon but it is the possibility from the cartoons that is the closest to making sense for the games since it is stated in Generations(I think) that Tails was bullied in the past because of his two tails(in Sonic X also because of his interest in machines) until he met Sonic. Every Sonic cartoon tells a different story on how they first met, except Sonic Underground(because Tails isn't in it) and Sonic Boom(because that show doesn't explain sh*t). I kind of like the Sonic X version best because Sonic appreciates Tails' flying ability he gained from having two tails and his interest in machines, the exact same things that got him bullied previously, showing that everyone has a place in the world and that there are people out there who appreciate the things about you that others mock you for.
