Re: Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread
I like Shadow mostly because he's the complete opposite of Sonic, but not in the emo sense.
But I couldn't really grasp "Silver the Hedgehog". He was overconfident (more than Sonic, which I didn't think was possible) and his name didn't seem very original. I mean, look at Sonic, Shadow, and Mephiles.
Sonic: Named for his "sonic speed". Makes perfect sense.
Shadow: Dark personality and is quite like a shadow. Makes sense, but not as good as Sonic's.
Mephiles: Most original there. Mephiles also means "Satan". Makes loads of sense there, but if that's Sega's attempt to draw teenagers in, then that's just desperate.
And now you have Silver, named because he's...silver.
