So I checked Sonic Forces's article, and I know beyond all doubt it's a reboot, because it says, as I tentatively mentioned above and can now confirm, Eggman has conquered the world. This can't have happened in the original continuity before Silver's time or else Eggman Nega wouldn't be trying to redeem, and later erase, his ancestor's failures. Unless you think the Rivals games are non-canon
