I double posted because my computer was lagging, it wasn't intentional.

And I see, there is no point in discussing with you. You didn't even read the stuff I linked, did you? Just read it, it pretty much explains why I am dissatisfied with Boom's portrayal.

It's true, fans like Shadow better because he's more interesting. Knuckles isn't interesting unless you have a story with him being directly involved(by directly involved, I mean directly involved, something like Sonic Adventure, not stuff like Sonic 06). And he didn't get that the past years, so he became boring. And since SEGA always tried to please the fans, they gave Shadow bigger roles while Knuckles faded into the background. And you know what, I'm fine with Shadow having big roles. But Knuckles shouldn't be Sonic's second sidekick. Before Heroes, he was (stupid or not) pretty much independant, but now, he never appears on his own, is totally incompetent and most of the time it isn't even explained why or how he is there.

You really do like Shadow, right? How would you like it, if SEGA just went like: "Nah, let's just forget about Shadow's past, independence, powers and all of the cool stuff he did and make him Silver's sidekick." Pretty bad, huh?
