Also, Mephiles could've just merged with Iblis during the future, where he's already free. 2) As much as I like Blaze, there wasn't much reason to put her in the game, since now we have a huge gaping plothole where Blaze's story should be. I usually just see Blaze as an alternate-dimension counterpart to Sonic. In one timeline, she's from the Sol dimension (and the timeline I believe). In another, she's practically from Sonic's dimension's future. And then some say the second is correct, then she was somehow transported to the Sol Dimension after the whole Iblis fiasco :/

Lol but back to the topic at hand. I agree with others wanting to know about Silver's story. That psychokinesis will be fun to play with again. Somehow I think he's descended from Shadow, like Ian Flynn said. If Shadow got his own 3D game, who's to say other characters can't?

There'll always be those few people that say the games should always be about Sonic, but considering his story is never furthered in any game (excluding, to an extent, Generations)...

-Theory that makes complete sense with the canon story and explains how the Blaze in '06 and Rush is the same character.

So far there's been no evidence that I can recall that would disprove it or even make it impossible, with a lot of supporting evidence from multiple titles. The only problem is that Sonic Team's own story developers haven't thought of it yet, or if they have they haven't announced it yet- if they did it could save them a lot their criticism from Sonic '06.
