The Simpsons point isn't invalid. The Simpsons have had several Christmas episodes, one in particular actually ends up spanning an entire year, yet all the characters remained the same age. Episodes set in the past change time periods; The first Simpsons episode that I'm aware of that showed Homer and Marge as teenagers was set in the 70s, the most recent episode (that I'm aware of) to do that was set in the 90s. The point still stands, if The Simpsons do not age, then why should Sonic characters age?

If Sonic characters actually aged, then eventually Sonic would end up being 50 and who'd want to play as Sonic as a middle-aged man? Lots of people probably, but you see my point.
