The continuity is a mess and there are too many characters that have just disappeared I just hope Angel Island won't be removed because people here and there think Knuckles abandoned his duties. Just because we hardly see Angel Island I hope that won't be cut out.

Plus I have hope to see such characters as Nack, Bark, Bean and Mighty and Ray again in the future. I mean, Archie comics Super Genesis Wave caused a reboot and those characters were not removed.

A "flashpoint" reboot is one thing, removing Super Tails and Super Knuckles I can understand, but gutting a lot of established lore out I'm against.

I'm hoping Sonic '17 will be about Sonic restoring his timeline to exactly how it was, with all his past games just as relevent as they are now. Just like how Sonic '06 ended but with Sonic and friends retaining their memories. Omega isn't that much present anymore either. Have you noticed? Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. He was in Sonic Generations (in the Statue Room) and in Sonic Runners. But a full appearance without cameo is something I haven't seen in a while from him. He appeared in the Halloween story of Sonic Runners. Yeah that's true. While I admit I do question Sonic Runners canon, Sega did spend an entire year on it. He just hasn't been in a full Sonic game since after Sonic 06. Unless he was in any of the Wii exclusive games too.
