While I do agree it was the Ancients (race) who first harnessed energy from crystals, Mayor Fink merely said the crystal was ancient (literal). Amy Rose said the temple had "an ancient dialect", not "The Ancient dialect". Frankly I blamed RoL writters for naming an important lore plot point after an adjective. (Did the Ancients call themselves "Ancients" during their own time, even though they were not ancient back then?)

Also you removed about the SatAM episode "Warp Sonic", I put that there 'cus I figured Blackout and Warp Sonic episodes have loads in common in plot Well, the biggest give away for its relation to the Ancients was this synopsis Bill Freiberger gave:
 * When the Village's power source, the Meroke Crystal, dies, the gang must get the replacement from a deadly trap built by the ancients

Giving all the mentions about "Ancients", it seems to coincide very well

As for removing the SatAM stuff, it just sounded like a comparison based on personal preferences rather than an objective viewpoint. Oh, yeah I overlooked that given the subtitled in the video used a lower-case A for the words "ancient".

But Warp Sonic and Blackout does have comparisons other than being Sonic cartoons.

A settlement facing power crisis and blackout, crystal source of power, Sonic replaces power source with a rock like mcguffin. Well, I suppose there is no harm in letting it stay there. I think the resemblence between the two episodes are worth to note. Not saying Natalys Raut-Sieuzac ripped off the episode or anything, though if anything I'd compliment her for actually watching the old cartoons if she did.
