But it dosen't mean he needs a girlfriend, he can handle himself now, the trailer for the game showed it. We don't how old they are or if Boom truly takes place in the Prime series.

Sega officially announced that Boom will not replace the main and original story. It will be its own seperate canon like Archie and Sonic X.
