By story archs, I mean some stories continuing in other games. Like Shadow's one in Heroes and his one. Adventure 2 also has a direct mention to the previous game (the fact that Tails has a Chaos Emerald after saving Station Square).

I agree tho, a new good Sonic game with an interesting story would be amazing - hopefully we'll get it for the series 25th anniversary.

Also, even if Adventure 3 was nothing like its predecessors, if Sega was desperate enough to play use an old "series" name just to boost sales, they would then definitely call it "Sonic Adventure 3".
