I'm hoping the very least Sonic and Sally will be a bit more than just friends and be comfortable and obvious about it as well as Sir Charles being Sonic's biological uncle.

Pre-SGW, Sonic grew up in Mobotropolis and was friends with Sally. Post-SGW Genesis and later flashbacks established Sonic did not grew up in Mobotropolis or had anything to do with Eggmans Invasion as he was from South Island and fighting off Dr. Eggmans forces solo before he joined the Freedom Fighters.

Other thn joining the Freedom Fighters, I like to believe he was encouraged to seek his uncle when Dr. Eggman invaded his home, thus why he headed to Mobotropolis afterwards. The Problem with mimicking the main thing while adapting is it needs new and fresh but exclusive concepts to keep adaptations from getting stale, for example the Freedom Fighters, they bonded as a surrogate family and it would still be an alright fit for the games imho. The Tails-Sally bond is what made Sally a bit of a likable character i hope that will be retained in future Sonic media.

It seems Sonic Underground is even less possible thanks to Sega's mandate preventing Sonic from having relatives, Whoever came from the Sonic games are not automatically the best characters out of the franchise nor far superior to spin-off characters. All the more reason I hope they work around it.

For example in Archie Sonic Super Digest Issue 12 it is established that Eggman pillaged South Island for resources and thats when he first met Sonic. I can imagine that if Sonic did had a family, instead of robotisized, they would of died due to Dr. Eggmans ruining their home or something. Sonic would of met the Freedom Fighters around Sonic: Genesis which is confirmed to take place in post-SGW timeline even if it was temporary back then. I like to believe other than the Freedom Fighters, Uncle Chuck could of been a reason why Sonic headed to Mobotropolis because he was family.
