Apparently 4kids voice cast was cheaper than Sega of America's own voice cast so they fired them all and had Sonic X cast on board. It caused quite a $#!7storm with Ryan Drummonds fans, not only because he was dedicated to his job as Sonic's voice and was willing to move closer to his work, but also since he was fired without notice.

I don't think Knuckles or the entire cartoon will have any effect on the games. If there is one tradition for Sonic cartoons is that they are usually set in there own worlds and rules. Just like AoSTH, SatAM, Underground, X and all the comics.

Sonic X was the only cartoon that had any percussions on the video game series, which is Sega replaced the voice casts with 4Kids. That and I think, though not entirely sure, but since Cream's mother was never named in the Sonic Advance series, Sonic X introduces her by the name Vanilla.
