Sonic 4 really was an error. Sega had it's heart in the right place but not it's brains.

I believe Sonic Pocket Adventure passes off more for the transition between 3&K to Adventure than Sonic 4 ever did. It was the first Sonic game that has both Classic and Modern characters, yet not at the same time. For Example "Classic Eggman" is the boss throughout the game, but Gigantic Angel Zone shows Eggman trying on his new duds. All the other characters in the game are "Classic" except of the title and menu screens which depict them modern.
