I know the difference between platonic love and romantic love, I'm saying they're the same emotion applied differently, like how you feel happiness differently for different reasons. Shadow has displayed the ability to display a variety of emotions; happiness, anger, sadness, so why not romantic love? It's also important to note that Shadow's feelings for Maria were incredibly strong, she was his entire motivation in Sonic Adventure 2. Such a powerful display of emotion makes it hard for me to assume he's incapable of romantic love.

I don't see those moments as evidence of Sonic feeling romantic love, so I don't think it can be counted. As a living being capable of emotion, we can assume he can. The same applies to Shadow, so the assumption should be the same.

There isn't any evidence for or against Shadow being capable of reproduction, especially if we're diving into realms of science fiction.
