@Bionicleboy: Yes, I agree with you that its completely absurd, but a lot of people think otherwise. And of course its the Sonic Genesis purists who're making the most drama about this. They never seem to stop whining about Sonic not being as "glorious as he was in the old days" (the classics DID have its fair share of shortcomings too. Its like people are blinding themselves of this fact on purpose), and since this claim gets thrown around a lot just about everywhere and the fans tend to be very loud about it, why wouldn't SEGA, a company that cares for its fans, not try to appease them? Of course that backfired with Sonic 4, but somehow Generations had worked in getting these unpleasable fans into saying nice things about "the first Sonic game and not game-with-Sonic-slapped-on-it to come out since 1998" (Not joking, I actually saw people say this). Sure, they're people who aren't Genesis purists who think similary, but the purists... tend to be the most loud. I still find them to be funny as well, because we're talking about people in their 20s, even 30s, arguing with children (which is Sonic's target demograph) about a video game series featuring a blue hedgehog.

Anyway, I would like another Sonic Adventure-styled game as well. Or at least another Sonic Chronicles game (WHERE'S OUR SEQUAL???). I'd like to play as Blaze (M. Bison: OF COURSE!), Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Silver, etc. again sometime soon. I think I'd go nuts playing as only Sonic all the time.
