Why can those new abilities be upgrades for the characters instead of random moves

I can agree that were everything is located is different compare to the other games, but Green Hill Zone is not on the hub world in Sonic Battle.

Well Emerl has a profile on Sonic Channel just like Sonic so I think that Sonic Battle should be canon.

Sonic Battle was never a prequel to that game, the writers just took insperation from that game and Archie Sonic comics and other Sonic games.
