    This wiki, on the other hand, only has 4,318 pages. Jeepers.

    All hogwash next to Sonic Cult.

    Sonic fans get a bad rap. I say this as someone who stopped being interested in Sonic after the Genesis Era, and only started getting interested again when Sonic 4 was announced... and yes, I was among the complainers. (Not so much now that Tails will probably come back in Episode 2. But man, you really think they could've handled the game physics better... the physics were what most fans were complaining about, not the eye color or anything.)


    But yeah. I've been a member of the Star Wars fandom. I've also seen some pretty unnecessary, shockingly indulgent Kingdom Hearts fanfics. I don't think Sonic fans are worst than the general folk. Consider the material they've had to work with over recent years. :)

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4 seemed to me to be built mostly from desperation. Compare it with Sonic Colors, which seemed to be built mostly from inspiration.

    But, if the Sonic fan haters/supporters of Sonic 4 are to be believed, if you liked the Genesis games, you are obligated to love Sonic 4 unconditionally regardless of whether or not you played it or had fun with it (I'm strawmanning here).

    Sonic 3 was the only Sonic game I particularly liked.  Sonic 1 wasn't that great and 2 was unplayable.  And after the Genesis games I stopped having any interest in Sonic, so the only game after that that I played was, like, Sonic Battle.

    "Sonic the Hedgehog 4 seemed to me to be built mostly from desperation. Compare it with Sonic Colors, which seemed to be built mostly from inspiration."


    What you just said there, was the general consensus of the fandom, at least on the official SEGA forums.


    In fact, I think the tvtropes article on Sonic Colors even notes the irony of it... seriously, there were fallen away fans like me who hunted down the SEGA forums to complain about the direction of Sonic 4, and when Sonic Colours was announced and released, we couldn't stop gushing about it.

    Why is the fanon wiki almost 3 times larger than the canon wiki?
  • SaigyoujiSaigyouji
    But you never had any to begin with.
    Because fanon expands at a much faster rate than canon ever will?
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    I don't...understand...what? Do you just make up random pish about Sonic and stick it on the pages?
  • KomodinKomodin

    Pretty much.
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    Oh my beloved Hedgehog, how you have fallen.

    Sonic Colors needs more love, seriously...
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    Sonic Colours is rather wonderful I think.
  • Trash_VortexTrash_Vortex
    I'm intent on picking up Sonic Colours once the price goes down.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Generations gives me hope. Besides, have you seen the TRANSFORMERS wiki? Holy shit.

    ^ I personally think that Sonic will make a comeback (comeback being defined as reaching his full former glory or close to it - Most of his 3D games weren't that bad, and were actually enjoyable at times in my opinion) if they keep making games like Colours
  • PonicalicaPonicalica

    I think expecting Sonic to reach its full former glory is a bit much; I mean, he's pretty much the only one to ever truly challenge the dominance of Mario.

    Well, Sony did challenge Nintendo's dominance during the PS1/PS2 eras, but Sony didn't really have a mascot...
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    Well, Crash was an unofficial mascot of sorts.
