You know what I wish for? Character spin-offs. There are so many cool and interesting characters in the Sonic franchise that make one wonder: Why don't they have their own game yet? Every main Mario character has at least one game dedicated to them, so why can't there be more of those in Sonic? I'm not saying that every single Sonic character needs their own game series because that would be a little too much, but you could pair them up. Put Knuckles, Mighty, Ray and Team Chaotix in one game to go up against a criminal organization á la Team Rocket or something, put Blaze, Silver and maybe Marine in the next to fight a timetravelling transdimensional villain who threatens all worlds and timelines, put Shadow, Rouge and Omega in the third to do some secret agent stuff ect. and have a main series in the style of the Classic Sonic games with Sonic and Tails as the main characters, maybe Knuckles and Amy too and Eggman and Metal Sonic as the main villains. And in the main 3D games, the characters come together and have one big adventure in a Sonic Adventure kind of style, but with the main focus on Sonic.

This kind of structure would shut up the fans of the different characters and therefore get rid of the need to shoehorn characters into games they don't need to be in(I'm looking at you, Generations even though you're just the tip of the iceberg) and it would allow the Sonic franchise to have multiple different gameplay styles without changing the gameplay completely once a new Sonic game comes out just because they wanted to change something. *coughcough* Lost World *cough* Boom *cough*
