First of all, that's completely unnecessary to the plot of the game. The sonic series is not about romance or shipping, that is not what it's demography and genre aims for(and remember? it tried to chaneg taht several times but failed.), if you're so sticky with pairings in games then try to play other games where the relationships are actually an important aspect of the plot/genre, there are even games mainly about dating. And second of all, Sonic/Amy is not canon, what canon is that Sonic will never return her feelings(this isn't hate, don't misunderstand, it's just a fact, I was a fan of this pairing as a kid, a HUGE fan, so don't worry, I understand how you guys feel about them being together.). Third of all, extra drama in the series especially with an 8/9 year old main character would put a lot of the fandom in a fuss again, either it be positive or negative fuss, things might end up like how they did with Sonic 06 when SEGA tried to push in unnecessary romance and failed very, very badly. And then we'd have more fans going on about how the ship is bad or how the ship ruined the the plot, blah blah blah...that just messes everything up AND it would be out of character in general, especially with how the new writers totally changed up their personalities to be actually more like young kids than adult-like teenagers as seen on Lost World(I personally like it, it's so much more realistic than how stereotypical and ideal they were before.). And the fans would also complain about having a new character, people would get mad at sega and 06 might happen all over again if any sort of romance is added to Sonic, Sonic is not a series that focuses on romance and it's also not a good series to handle romance, they mess things up and leave the fandom fighting with eachother over fictional pairings and I absolutely positively hate that.

With the new writers here, I definitely feel like this won't be happening any time soon, and if it does, it will look horribly out of character. Tails is indeed changing emotionally but that doesn't mean he should suddenly have a romantic interest out of nowhere, neither should Sonic nor anyone else -- at least, not if it's a new character, the old characters like Knuckles/Rouge has a chance but any new characters will probably stir up the fandom in a negative way again. Putting Cream in the spotlight would probably also bring up some hate as a lot of fans don't like her, unless she also goes through drastic changes like Tails has, it won't work out the best way, and she's still only 6..or 7, but I'll stick with 6.

Furthermore the character might end up being your typical "Damsel in Distress" and cause more hate from fans, she might be a general tool Eggman uses to lure in Tails and Sonic in traps and you know how the rest goes, we've all seen this happen in Sonic 06 enough times and I really don't want that repeated. The fandom has been awfuly peaceful lately compared to the kind of mess it was before and I don't think SEGA will take such a risky move to change that, though overall it would be really cute, it would still be out of character and/or cause more controversy in the fandom as the story is right now.

In conclusion, with gradual changes in the future, maybe it can happen, but right now it would cause a mess.
