it got coopted by SEGA's marketing team without really any real elaboration, which backfired on them.

What backfired exactly? Considering how the term still gets flung around today, I'd say it was a wildly successful marketing ploy.

It backfired when Nintendo started paying journalists to say it didn't exist, which is why Blast Processing to this day.

Hypothetically speaking, what would Amy's ideal equivalent to Knuckles be like?

What do you mean? Like... Sonic is to Knuckles as Amy is to X?

Do you mean Amy as the guardian of Angel Island?

Former situation.

What would be a good contrast/rival for Amy's character?

Rework Sticks the Badger into a guardian.

While Knuckles is gullible, Sticks is crazy-paranoid. I can see Robotnik fooling her in an S3 type scenario, fueling a conspiracy theory that Amy is after the Emeralds/Time Stones/Whatever.

Back when Sonic Colors was being teased with tidbits, wasn't there supposed to be a plot point about Tails' speed?

Uh, not quite what I was getting at, but sure?

Apparently, there was a desert remix of the Deadly Six theme?

[DabigRG 2,640]

What would be a good color for a third member of Blaze and Silver's little partnership?

[DabigRG 2,640]

What was the context behind Mephiles, the Werehog, and I guess Sticks in Runners?

[DabigRG 2,640]

Kinda like Forces, should Dr. Nega have been the decoy villain of 06?

[Diogenes 42,250]

'06 is enough of a mess as it is, I can't imagine bringing Nega into it would do any good.

It'd basically help further tie Blaze and Silver in, as well as make Eggman's plan feel a little more appropriate.

So apparently, Sonic Adventure 2 has Amy say Eggman tricked Shadow: Is this true?

[MainJP 577]

Question about Charmy.

So the red (classic) and black (modern) spheres at the end of his arms...is that his shoulder?

The reason I ask is that at least as far as the Classic series goes he's side by side with other characters with bizarre shoulder designs.

Espio with those doughnut shoulders and Vector with that huge socket.

 

So I look back at Classic Charmy and go "hm...so he's got, like, balls for shoulders I guess".

Modern Charmy has that orange jacket but he still has those spheres which could be sleeves...but look at Modern Vector:

He's not even wearing a shirt or anything. His weird shoulder design changed into another weird shoulder design but now it's the same as Charmy, which makes me think it's not apart of Charmy's jacket.

If Nega hates Eggman so much, why does he dress like Eggman, call himself Eggman Nega and act like Eggman on crack?

I always just figured that Nega simply envisioned himself as a "better" Eggman (even though he's not) hence why he still acts like Eggman, for the most part.

...Well, that and he's just insane.

Because his first name is Eggman and his surname is Nega, his fashion choice is pure coincidence, and that's just his personality.

[Diogenes 42,250]

Eggman Nega was Eggman Nega before he even knew about Eggman, so why should he be the one who has to change? It's that other Eggman who's a loser.

[DabigRG 2,640]

Did Sonic Lost World have a manual, possibly with bios?

That's just how he is/will be.

Pretty much. His introduction even has him sardonically point that out.

When/where was Vanilla's name established/confirmed?

Again, loops around into a discussion that's not for this topic considering the difference between how fanworks tend to portray her and how she's presented in the games.

 

This is probably a big dig, but for the sake of curiousity, what are/were some of the differences?

[Dr. Detective Mike 5,580]

Speaking of Eggman Nega, I know Eggman's real full name is "Dr. Ivo Robotnik" and Eggman is his nickname/codename. 

So... does that mean Eggman Nega is Eggman Nega's codename? Does he have an inverted family name?

Is he the non-comic version of Dr. Ovi Kintobor? 

What even IS he really? He's probably been lying about who he is this whole time. He might not be from another dimension or proof that Eggman will one day rock the boat with a lady friend. He might just be a space magician who saw a photo of Eggman and tried to disguise himself like him but his disguises invert his coloring because he sucks at magic.

Or maybe he's Eggman's superform, given life and a personality. Sonic's coloring inverted is yellow right? So Eggman inverted is Eggman Nega!

Or maybe he's just an asshole.

[DabigRG 2,640]

So  here's something I just thought about: How exactly was Eggman's Mind Control Laser supposed to work?

He made it sound like it's his real name, or title as he put it. 

It's possible the family name simply changed and/or diverged over the next few millennia/centuries and he was legit named Eggman after the Destroyer himself.
