Because she isn't. Every time she has done anything relevant, it was supplementary to another main plot. When it wasn't, it was valid, like her being used in the Sage story because of her established connection to Metal back in issue 50.

The story is about Sage and Belle is brought in to develop Sage within the context of the book since them both being Eggman daughters just logically makes sense to write something about.

Tails & Amy's stories in Sonic Adventure are like the same story concept from opposite perspectives, yet they never meaningly interact.

The major turning point for both characters happens when Tails flies Amy down from the Egg Carrier.

This is the moment where Eggman launches the missile, and Tails realizes he's the only one who can stop it.

This is the moment Amy realizes Sonic is always rescuing her, and she needs to be more independent, before resolving to help Birdie find their family.

Tails races Eggman through Speed Highway, and defeats Eggman all by himself. Amy searches through Final Egg before finding the other birds on the Egg Carrier, and then destroys ZERO after Birdie was attacked. Tails becomes the hero of Station Square, without Sonic. Amy proves she can do things all on her own, without Sonic.

WHY THE HECK DO TAILS & AMY NEVER MEANINGFULLY INTERACT IN THE WHOLE GAME!??!?

Because there arcs are similar in that respect. If they were doing it together, it would undermine their individual growth by making it feel like something they only come to the conclusion of together and are only able to overcome their trials together.

Counterpoint.

IDW's character design starts to make sense when you realize Dodon Pa was the latest character made by ST a little after the comic started, so he was probably in development around when the other IDW characters were also being made and most likely influenced a lot of design conventions found in the comic's characters.
>>
>>568865353
>Because there arcs are similar in that respect.
That's exactly why they SHOULD be meaningfully connect.

They parallel each other directly, like Sonic & Blaze. Polar-opposites yet they reach the exact same conclusion of becoming more independent from Sonic, in order to be more equal to Sonic.

The fact that they never interact directly even when Tails is literally the one who transports Amy away from the Egg Carrier as it crashes, and they have the SAME pivotal turning point in their stories immediately afterwards, is complete nonsense!!!

Bronys (whether they believe it or not) were the catalyst for corpos thinking "Maybe this Boy brand can appeal to girls as well". Because the people who run businesses know nothing other than to count money, they couldn't see Bronys for the disgusting perverts they are. Sure some bought the toys but not for the same reasons as the target audience.

With this flawed mindset, they thought it was possible to expand a consumer base by changing the product to "appeal to everyone" with G4 MLP being the prime example of this. And thus began a domino effect that would destroy western pop culture.

And that's ignoring just how fucking awful your average brony is.

>>568865575
No, this is just how writing works. You're trying to say things should be put together because the fruit loops are the same color but that defeats the point of fruit loops.

As actual characters, Tails and Amy have little in common beyond being Sonic tagalongs that come into their own.
putting them together for that specifically doesn't actually accomplish anything.

They are direct polar opposites of each other in every single way, with this one specific thing that is the absolute focal point of their whole existence being shared between them.

Just like Sonic & Blaze, they parallel each other.

So the fact the game itself never realizes or acknowledges this, is insane.
>>
>>568865796
Corpos trying and failing to match MLP's ability to capture and keep it's fanbase doesn't make it MLP's fault. I'll concede that the later seasons weren't as good, though. They definitely tried to appeal more to the older fanbase, but it also aged with it's original intended fanbase too since it lasted so long. Bronies aren't nearly as bad today, depending on what you mean. Most bronies were hated because of just how obnoxious they were trying to get everyone to watch and accept it. There's the normie fans and then the porn addicts that exist now. But this isn't the right place to really discuss pony given it's Sonic.

Yes, just like how certain other groups want you to accept their pronouns, sexual preferences, and their preferred political party or you'll be labelled in some fashion and marked for cancellation.

It's not hard to see the slippery slope that lead to this retardation. Also not hard to figure out where those bronies migrated to when they couldn't feel special for liking a girls show anymore.

Tails is introverted, Amy is extroverted.

Tails is a victim of bullying, Amy is a genki kogal.

Tails has Sonic's speed and abilities from the start as Player 2, but lacks Sonic's courage and confidence.

Amy is just like Sonic in species and spirit and personality for the most part, but lacks his speed and abilities initially due to being the Damsel in Distress.

Tails tinkers with technology, Amy is into fortune telling and mystical things.

Their core archetypal roles are the direct inverse of each other, yet both are on equal level relative to Sonic by virtue of splitting Sonic's own traits in half between "capability" vs "confidence".

Sonic himself is to Tails & Amy, as fighting "Eggman" & collecting 7 Emeralds are to Sonic & Blaze.

But he doesn't. He has to start mimicking Sonic to see that he can do anything of the sort.

I don't agree. They are more 2 different but similar roles rather than opposites. Both are Sonic companion characters but one is a young boy who wants to be like him and the other is a girl that wants to be with him.
And Metal wants to BE him.

But he DOES, that's how the game and its story are constructed.

Tails and Amy at their core are polar opposite to each other, and parallel each other. So much so that even Nicky from the manga is proof of this. Nicky is the bullied loser who wants to be stronger and cooler, just like Tails is in-canon, and he exists opposite to Amy. Only difference being that unlike Tails, he "IS(?)" Sonic through magical split-personality transformation when his wish to be stronger takes over.

Tails is the "kid" character, Amy is the "girl" character, yet both occupy directly parallel yet inverse roles in the series by their very nature. Tails' whole character is being an underdog, yet lots of Amy fans love -Amy- for being the underdog.
>>
>>568867241
I don't agree that they "only" function as that. I believe both can stand on their own, though I think Amy probably works better on her own than Tails since she has a stronger personality. Amy already tended to basically be on her own journey that just existed within the same general space as STK. Heroes and 06 are good examples.
I don't think Sonic team wants them to only be that. I would more say Sonic Team doesn't believe either of them have the sauce to carry a game on their own.

Amy isn't really a cheerleader though. Although there was some writing around her being that in beta, but it isn't really in her character at all. Amy doesn't really graduate into confident kogal until SA1. Prior to that, she is still pretty proactive, but she is still a scared girl that needs Sonic to rescue her.

You mean, because Amy is more like Sonic in personality, while Tails' personality on the most surface level is basically just very smart, very quiet, and really polite, kind & gentle. So otherwise unoffensive, but also unassuming and more likely to fade into the background.

It's not even really about being like Sonic. Amy is a proactive character who is usually personally motivated whereas Tails is more supportive.
When Tails flies to Prison Island in SA2, it's to help Sonic. When Amy does it, it's to help Sonic but also to impress him and prove how capable she is.

Amy wasn't conceived as a support character the way Tails which has it's pros and cons.

Again, all of that is within the context of him being a sidekick. It's "oh look, Tails leveled up and is taking more charge". It's not even really about agency so much as competence.

But you can't really do that if Tails is the main character because then there's no contrast.
You appreciate Tails coming up with the plan with the fake chaos emerald because it's useful to Sonic.
Conversely Amy often gets overlooked because her specialty is rarely actually directly useful to Sonic, and when it is, people often dismiss it as "something anyone else coulda did".
Again, pros and cons.

No it wasn't though. Sonic Battle does it, Sonic Forces does it and Frontiers does it.
Anyway, that's besides the point. SA2 was a "pay off of Tails' growth from the previous game" moment. It's still carried by the context of this being the pay off from the last game. You appreciate it because we saw Tails' arc in the game prior. a person just playing SA2 doesn't really see it as anything particular because they lack the context.
>it was shown through ways that differ from Sonic
I'm not sure what you mean here. Most of Tails' story is just him tagging along and getting better at supporting Sonic, with his bossfight against Eggman at the end being the one moment of him being able to fight on his own.
This is then later done again in SA2 where Sonic is presumed dead and Tails fights Eggman 1v1 again.
It's not a retread exactly, but it's still riding the same arc wave and you cant just keep playing on that forever or people will get bored.

Both Sonic and Shadow were needed to beat Final Hazard and use Chaos Control to restabalize the ARK. Rouge is the one that has access to info from the military about the ark crashing as well as the one that thinks to use the Master Emerald.
Also if Rouge falls, the emerald shards fall in the molten energy so OOPS.
More importantly, Tails and Amy probs don't have as much motivation to save the day while still grieving Sonic's death.

I don't know why you keep trying to make this about Sonic.
Also yes they do. Sonic Forces has him going around infiltrating bases and gathering intel after feeling guilty for not being good enough to help Sonic in the opening fight.
Battle has him feeling insecure over Emerl and feeling like he is weak and training.
Frontiers is doing the same basic thing. Tails is pointing out how in previous games he fumbled more than he feels he should and giving himself crap about it.

It's basically what they do with him because they need to reassert that context to make him doing anything have any satisfaction.

The game frames it as nothing of the sort and there isn't any real basis to say the opposite. Also Sonic just isn't as good at Chaos Control as Shadow.

They are on a time crunch and the ARK was moving things around to block em off.

You are objectively wrong. GUN gives Sonic and Eggman something to fight that is a third party. It was not only good but necessary because of the way SA2 is designed.
The problem with the Restoration is it's directly associated with the main cast which tethers them to a central organization.
Yeah, the writers SAY they aren't obligated to it, but in practice they act as though its their home base they are responsible for.
GUN isn't like that. It gives humanity a faction and also fits in with the themes of military and tech overreach in the series.

The Restoration by contrast is used to "explain how all the stuff that gets wrecked in previous adventures gets fixed" as if we needed that explained.

They have a good narrative purpose as a part of the setting, being "on the same side" but pursuing their own interests. This gives them flexibility to be used as allies or antagonists based on the story being tol, and lets them accentuate other plots where they themselves aren't a major player (their Huge Crisis battleship being hijacked by Eggman in Sonic Rush). They also have cool moments like the GUN Truck and giant robots.

The Restoration has none of this.

Sonic is at odds with GUN in SA2 itself and is cool wrecking their stuff in Rush and in Sonic channel stories and even Chaotix Casefiles.

SA2's story more overtly presents them as villains whereas games like 06 and Chronicles kinda just have them as good.

Tails was made to be Sonic's sidekick. Everytime you praise him not being Sonic's sidekick is bringing attention to and relying on the fact he was Sonic's sidekick in order to make him feel cool.
This is not a Sonic centric lens. The Tails-centric lens is just so heavily defined by his being a sidekick that you struggle to separate the two. And that's because most of Tails' best traits were designed with him being useful to Sonic in mind.

>>
>>568871910
Just to be clear, I meant you'd still get near-same results with half the cast. The ending should overall play out similarly with only a handful of key players. The essential characters are Eggman to inadvertently trigger the collision sequence and try to undo it, Amy to convince Shadow to help, and Shadow to stop the prototype and neutralize the ARK. One of these characters gone or otherwise unable to do their role and the end falls apart drastically.

I do agree with Shad05 also making them bullheaded enough to still be a problem (especially with the Commander's vendetta), but I see your point about 06 and Chronicles. Though, I don't mind games where GUN is unassuming or even in a mostly positive role when they don't have a reason to be obstructive and are mostly a background force. It helps give them flexibility as good-intentioned but heavy-handed.

How come when Americans make Sonic media that's American-style there is discourse. But when Japanese people go out of their way to intentionally make something American-style like SA2, it gets a pass. It's not symmetrical expectations.

>>
>>568873963
They are, but in SA2 they were presented as less sympathetic.

>>568874059
again, GUN was introduced so both Sonic and Eggman in SA2 had someone to fight, because it wouldn't make sense for Eggman to be destroying his own robots. This is actually something about Gamma in SA1 and Metal in Episode Metal that makes no sense.

So they had em fighting the human military who is morally questionable. It also helps sell Sonic as a rebel.

stories where you fight GUN specifically are thus hard to create. Oddly enough I think Shadow is the one that actually makes the most sense to be fighting GUN compared to everyone else given his proximity to them.

One thing a lot of authors learned the hard way is that the audience stops reading once the characters are finally together so they break them up for drama or drag it out.

Tails beating Eggman or doing prison breaks or making fake emeralds or using his tech or anything else do not need to be attributed to Sonic at all whatsoever. You just choose to do so because you don’t respect him as his own character and think he’s hopeless without Sonic because Sonic is the greatest and best and always right and has a huge cock or whatever. This is exactly the trap Sega Sonic Team the fanbase etc have all fallen into and it’s why his character has become stale
>>
I don't understand the recent blade of courage chapter honestly. So Sonic lost, then the chaos emerald decided "no, actually Sonic is so cool that I'm going to let him win" and then jumped from Eggman's hand to give Sonic power so that he could punch, I repeat PUNCH the villain to death after it is already established that if you touch him you get frozen?

So is movie Sonic going to be a teenager forever? Time passing is directly acknowledged in the movies. They literally say how much time passed between the first and second, the third is stated to be in 2024. There is a child character and if she keeps showing up it will be impossible to ignore Sonic having arrested development.

BAM! There it is. You related it back to Sonic yourself in real time.

Without that, what does him being able to plot device an emerald matter? Did you care that Tails was able to detect readings regarding tears in the space time continuum or did you just see that as technobabble?

We know that Tails is competent and capable. So is every other character though.
Being capable and competent doesn't mean anything by itself.
This is why Amyfags try to protect how incapable Amy was in the classics because her becoming more capable overtime is important to their satisfaction with the character's narrative.

I don't get why Tailsfags do the opposite desu.

No, GUN would just let Sonic borrow the Emerald and Sonic would give it back to them when he's done. Sonic is friends with the president and the president is friends with the GUN commander.

i've always hated this dumb theory

reminder that in japanese Sonic's catchphrase is "leave it to me" characters who have that phrase in their media tend to be reliable main characters who always manage to achieve what's seemingly impossible while being a bit humble still, portrayed as absurdly capable, strong, kind and yet very much approachable. Kinda like harem leads back in the day before the Kiritos, Suburus, Kazumas and Onee-samas of the modern day.

If you look at Sonic from that perspective suddenly his borderline mary sue like power and accomplishments make sense, the quick tempered, smug, arrogant, cocky side of him was thought up to appeal to westerners as that's how he tends to be portrayed in most western written media that takes the story semi seriously like Prime, Lost World, Chronicles, the archie and fleetway comics and season 3 of X

basically if you want a flawed Sonic you need a westener, if you want a mary sue sonic who never fails ever you need a nip

Japanese people were making sonic American-style since the very first game. All SA2 did was shift it to more contemporary style. It still was unmistakeably Japanese though. SA2 even more so. It's kinda like when Americans try to make anime-like shows, you get something like Teen Titans.
American made American-style Sonic stops being westaboo and becomes straight up typical slop. It's like giving the fans of Metal Gear Tom Clancey or something. Or fans of Castlevania the old Universal monster movies.

1. You're making it about Sonic again and using a Sonic centric lens while accusing others of doing so.
2. How does that work? Sonic doesn't need Tails specifically to look bad to look good by comparison. I can't help but feel this is your little brother syndrome kicking in.

>I only talk about how he relates to Sonic because that’s what EVERYONE else including you and Sonic Team do.
No, you do it because deep down you know that Tails can only appear cool if Sonic is involved in some capacity.

Mario is such a boring character honestly. What's his personality again? Yelling "Wahoo" and jumping around? He's been doing the exact same shit for 40 years because Nintendo literally refuses to allow him to develop beyond a simplistic mascot.
Nintendo needs to give Mario some actual character development. Give him some internal conflict, some character flaws, have him struggle with the moral implications of his actions. Show us what he's thinking. Make him more relatable. Mario as a character has been stagnant for decades and it's embarrassing how gatekeeping corporate drone purists will defend this.

Sonic doesn't really ask questions so it would more be like Sonic does his thing and they have to respond. GUN Commander might go "If he would just talk to us, this could go so much smoother" or whatever.
Again Sonic doesn't really work with organizations or follow protocols. He just does his thing.
Not that he would never talk with the GUN commander and work together but it wouldn't be something it stresses to much.

It's not even about Sonic being flawed. It's about him acting like a doofus goober.
If Sonic was himself and shattered the prism and steadfastly resolved to fix the world and Shadow opposed him and even beat him for his tech, I wouldn't care. But they mutilated Sonic's character into this toddler child who is an idiot that needs Shadow to discipline him. it's cringe. Just have them fight because their ways of doing things conflicts.
Shadow ends up being wrong anyway so being flawed isn't a factor.

First of all, he stops being playable after 06, that inherently decreases his value. Second, he stops being involved in any action period, he becomes a plot device off to the side playing with his iPad. Not to mention the worst of it in Forces which reverts him fully back to a sniveling coward who’s completely useless without Sonic there. The narrative opportunity was there for him to take a lead role in the resistance but Sonic Team literally preferred him to “lose it” and become wholly incompetent and unimportant. But you probably love that game because of Classic Sonic literally being his savior

The problem is that Sonic Team contradicts themselves. They say one thing, then have characters say another. If you simply exclude 06 and Heroes, then everything people think about the worthless whore and her relationship with Shadow is correct, and Shadow would sooner rescue a kitten than that useless bitch unless she's holding a chaos emerald for him to use.

I wish Jet Black Hedgehog showed more of what Shadow was like immediately after waking up. Was he able to walk and talk perfectly once he woke up or did it take a bit of practice? I like the thought of Shadow being wobbly and wide-eyed like a fawn for the first couple of days. Surely it takes a bit of getting used to even if you have knowledge on how to do it, the muscles haven't been used before.

You still aren't answering my question. Why do you believe any of that is because they think they need "to put Tails down to make Sonic look cool by comparison"?
> he becomes a plot device off to the side playing with his iPad.
He always was a plot device though. Sonic himself is a plot device.
Everyone stopped being playable after 06. Most characters didn't even have the privilege of showing up like Tails did.
>The narrative opportunity was there for him to take a lead role in the resistance
That would be relegating him to a plot device rather than giving him an actual arc and story though. Can't win.
> but Sonic Team literally preferred him to “lose it” and become wholly incompetent and unimportant.
Tails is objectively more important than every other Sonic friend not named Shadow in Forces. He does more and gets more screen time and narrative focus.

He hacks into Eggman's systems and discovers how the Phantom Ruby works and hat it is being powered by the death egg and realizes Rookie's connection to the prototype and comes up with the plan for him to go and turn the sun off.

What do Amy, Knuckles, Rouge and Shadow do by comparison? Shadow's contribution to the story is getting his ass handed to him to explain why he isn't involved for most of the plot. Silver's is getting his ass handed to him to raise the threat of infinite. Amy is on comms duty and Knuckles leads the resistance but his most major contribution in that respect is Operation Big Wave which goes to shit.

Rouge is just liaison for Shadow and the resistance and does a bit of spying which is okay.

Frankly I think its time you just admit you're miffed Tails isn't the protagonist instead of Sonic.

Shadow and Rouge are not friends. That isn't the same thing as Shadow and Rouge disliking each other. When Rouge wants to hang out with someone she's more likely going to spend time with Sonic or Amy unironically. Shadow is who she can trust in life or death situations. They are important to each other but that's not friendship. If Shadow and Rouge never needed each other again that would be the end of it.

>>568879840
I don't give a fuck what his motivation is. He's still a jobbing asshole. He shows up, says he's the ultimate lifeform, jobs, and leaves. He's shit.

I understand you now. You’d rather have him repeat his arc over and over just for the sake of having an arc than just keeping his resulting characterization and going with it. Sorry but I don’t accept that. What’s the point of an arc if it doesn’t stick? I don’t need to constantly see him doubting himself only to learn the same lesson through Sonic again and again, that’s boring. Also it must be very easy to just call everyone a plot device when it’s clear Sonic’s impact is the only one that matters (which is lame)
>>
Shadow doesn't really have friends he refuses to let anyone be his friend because that spot is reserved for Maria and Maria alone, there are those who do either view Shadow like that or at least an associate but that's as far as it will go, crossworlds reinforces this, IDW reinforces this, Speed simulator reinforces this, I wish people would accept it already, not everybody has to be part of the dweeb patrol, it's like how Surge and Kit aren't anyone's friends but each other while being associates with others, through I still don't like the others associating with them at all with non hostile intent after she flat out showed she's a traitor and tried to kill Sonic, you'd think Amy, Tails and Blaze would be on guard against them but nope Tails just awkwardly tries to make conversation and Amy and Blaze treat Surge like she's one the retard friend who is good but needs to be reminded not to go too hard on certain things. It's ridiculous especially because until Starline comes back into the fore we'll never know the extent of how much of their emotions and actions are his brainwashing and their genuine thoughts and feelings we just don't know! and until we do I do not see them as characters I do not empathize or sympathize with them

the crossover flat out had him and Batman say that they aren't friends with anyone they simply use others to complete their objectives and that's it. Batman says he uses the league just like Shadow uses Sonic, Rouge or even Eggman for his ends, too and those ends are protecting the world those they cared about cared about, it's like that guy from Bleach saying he wants to protect the world his friend loved and the guy next to him realizing he never said anything about what he feels about the world , of course people got mad at that from the Batman side because to them that means Bruce cares nothing for the league, or for his so called bat family the robins, the batgirls, the batwoman, catwoman, alfred, etc, by the way did you know alfred's been dead in batman comics for 7 years now, I never knew that, that's crazy apparently his fucking niece is gonna take his job now they announced last week.

Characters like Shadow, Knuckles, Amy and Silver have things that they do or associated with them that makes us give a shit beyond just how many memefeats or whose pet character we can say they are better than but Tails doesn't.

I'm honestly starting to wonder if that whole page of Surge attacking sonic was something that wasn't supposed to be there with how little it mattered, in fact even during Lanolin's little apology form pages they were harping on Mimic and Clutch over those two, I wonder if that instant was yet again another clash between Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley over the direction they want those characters to go in

Ian's been losing influence rapidly with each year from being silenced in bumblecast about sonic stuff, to having less and less say so in IDW to if we're to be believed not even consulted for the most recent sonic game storyboarding this time, even crossworld had the bare minimum, he only wrote some dialogue not all in that game

I think he's being pushed out, on one hand that's good, on the other hand that means Evan's rising in influence I do not want her writing a game script not even for the silver lust but because she got that rebecca sugar brain and wants people to cry and talk about their feelings all the time to resolve conflict rather than throwing hands, Lanolin's apology pages felt straight out of steven universe, I know, because I never watched it

I don't actually think it's true. Silver and Shadowfags seem more interested in doing things with the character. Amyfags care more about her characterization more than anything.
Tailsfags seem more interested in how he is perceived relative to Sonic. Or at least that's how you seem to be acting.

Instead of talking about how Tails would be cool in a solo game, you've been whining instead about sonic being the main character and more cool than Tails. Most conversations Tailsfags have is about trying to powerfag him rather than discuss how he can be used interestingly in a gameplay or story scenario.


Tails was playable in Final horizons so clearly your claims about him being Playable isn't all that important since it didn't satisfy you.

>You’re also the one saying I can’t enjoy Tails’ cool solo moments without thinking of Sonic
No, I said "those accomplishments you highlight have no inherent value without relating them ultimately back to Sonic" even though you accused me of having a "Sonic-centric lens" out of literally nowhere after i told you to list things about Tails you don't just make about his "graduating from being a sidekick" arc.

>If Robin can lead the Teen Titans
Tails isn't Robin though. Also Robin in Teen Titans is barely Robin. He was reliant on amalgamating a bunch of different robin's together and even then his character is mostly obsessing over Slade and being diet Batman.

The more you learn japanese the more you realize how boring Sonic is.
Let say you want to improve Forces;
Knuckles doesn't kill 80% of his people, they just "black out"
Sonic isn't tortured for 6 months
Tails is just sad instead of crazy after Sonic left
The cutscenes now match what happened in the japanese script. But ask yourself this question, wouldn't it be better if the cutscenes matched what the Western script said instead? Because those are the only parts of Forces we talk about, in the Japanese version really nothing happens. Everything builds up to the most boring power of friendship in the history of gaming.

But you do though. What is it about Tails making a fake chaos emerald that is so uber cool compared to him analyzing the fucking space time continuum for readings over it falling appart?
Objectively the latter is a bigger feat and accomplishment than the emerald.

The reason is because seeing Tails level up in SA2 as a payoff from his development in SA1 is satisfying.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s to Sonic’s credit. He uses Sonic as a baseline reference for self improvement, but actually going through the tangible improvement is done by HIMSELF, not Sonic. His end goal isn’t truly to be like Sonic, it’s to believe in himself

I didn't say it was. The fact you jumped to this show you are the one with the Sonic-centric lens.

When I say "level up from being a sidekick" I am not using a Sonic-centric lens yet you accuse me of doing so. Now you are agreeing with me without realizing it, schizo.

Now lets focus on what actually matters here which is Tails being used in the writing as a character.

Why do you find the emerald being made satisfying but not him showing he can read the spacetime continuum for anomalies, make a ship that goes to outter space and even do interdimensional travel?

>His end goal isn’t truly to be like Sonic, it’s to believe in himself This is a nebulous intangible though and goes back to what i said at the start of the convo.
Every story with Tails since has just been him doubting himself and losing his nerve and getting it back. Why? because that is how you recreate the arc. Without it, we just call his "accomplishments" plot devices or exposition.

If Tails recreated the phantom Ruby prototype ala the fake emerald in SA2, would you have really cared that much?

I mean, knowing that water stages exist and Sonic was shown multiple times to enjoy his leisure time at coasts it would be stupid to claim that Sonic hates large water pools. That said, I honestly think that Iizuka would think that Sonic wouldn't go surfing for example just because he can't swim. It's more about a dial with him.

Because they require context to matter.

If i just write a character called Godfist the Chimpanzee and give him the power to snap you out of existence and make him do that to Sonic, it's vapid and empty.

People agree The End was an underwhelming Villain and Sonic beating him didn't feel as impactful as it was meant to because of it.
The only people that care that much are people interested in vs debate feat fodder.
meanwhile in Shadow generations, people care more about the time Shadow got to spend with Maria and the fact he shed a goddamn tier moreso than the fact he defeated a more powerful version of Devil Doom.
The latter only matters as a vehicle to facilitate the former.

It doesn't matter whose sidekick he is though. the fact that he is one is what is relevant to the arc. Sonic could be a non-descript Hero and for the purposes of making the arc satisfying, it wouldn't matter as far as how compelling Tails' arc is and the things he does in SA2 being satisfying.
