If the show did have it's own emerald saga, I'd be so happy. I mean, come on, if you're going through the trouble to get discount chaos emeralds, at least use them XD. Also, I just finished the AoStH cHAOS Emerald stuff, it was strange, because the second I thought of going back and try to stop past Robotnik from getting the emerald of life again, they came up with another idea tha made no sense going by time travel but then again, you couldn' even have time travel without trolling the rules a bit so...
 * AoSTH Chaos Emeralds each had a unique shape and power which they would grant their holder, often when specific conditions are done. The Quest for the Chaos Emeralds was it's saga about the emeralds, though the episode Fast and Easy introduced a Chaos Emerald fitted onto a ring.
 * SatAM did not have any Chaos Emeralds. Closest to their equivilent the cartoon had were the Deep Power Stones.
 * Sonic Underground Chaos Emeralds functioned more like the Master Emerald. Large, green and mostly use to keep large mass airborn. Power from these emeralds were often green and when broken would release apocalyptic energy to Mobius. The Secrets of the Chaos Emerald has Chaos Emerald saga.
 * Sonic X Chaos Emeralds were more inspired by canon Chaos Emeralds, though their radiation would interfere with machines and would often react with disperse of light and energy when emeralds are near each other. The majority of it's seasons were emerald sagas.
 * Chaos Crystals from Sonic Boom are the recent cartoon versions of the emeralds. They've yet appeared in the cartoons, though I am hoping the TV show will have it's own "emerald saga" someday.
