Myself 123 wrote: Probably because not many people would've played Chaotix and therefore wouldn't be as familiar with them. Without any long history, any relationship the Chaotix may have displayed with Knuckles or Eggman would've looked odd for newer fans at the time. True, but it was evident in Heroes they were familiar with the other teams, so don't see why KC couldn't still hold canon as backstory, not like it would be brought up anyway.

I mean sure, Takashi Lizuki did say they were pretty much reinvented for the game but same logic could be regarded for most of the characters in Sonic Adventure, given apparently Sonic was a mute during his early years.
