Probably should have said this earlier, but what I said earlier was a joke based on the fact that the Pokemon arist, Ken Sugimori, drew the cover of this game, which is stated in the blog post itself.

I can't possibly think of a reason to not know that Sonic is a hedgehog when this is a wiki about a series titled Sonic the Hedgehog.
