i dont really get why people think Blaze is Silvers imaginery friend.

 

How is Blaze to interact with the world? I mean if shes not real whatever she does have no affect but it does.

When Sonic Tails and Knuckles over hear them all speaking from there point of veiew we see Blaze with them.

Oh and the Trial of Friendship. The guy know Silver has a friend so the challenge. "save your friend".

 

Spin Attaxx's was joking though.

 

Blaze does exist but her appearance just throws the continuity out of balance that we try to assume so, like why does she need to exist in this game.....Like. ughh....

[Azzy]

If only half as much thought and energy went into defending and supporting something decent.

 

You and several people have said very many times that it was clearly not the Blaze form Rush, just by looking at the game and how it matches up with Rush. There is nothing connecting Blaze to her Rush appearance so they have to be two different entities. 

 

Her Character is very much different from her usual self. She isn't as skeptical for help, as seen with her helping Silver so often. She isn't as Rash as before, since she teaches Silver about his Naivety, and she isn't as pent up as before, she rarely even gets mad in Sonic 06.

Blaze doesn't do much of anything during '06 and she certainly doesn't "teach" Silver about his naivety, when he asks her a question she just calls him naive and never really answers his question directly. There's a small connection to her Rush appearance when Silver shouts out "Blue Hedgehog" near the beginning of his story she repeats the words a familiar sense, alluding to her meeting Sonic in the events of Rush (also her reluctance to rely on others was removed as part of her development in Rush anyway).

 

Reboots can get away with whatever they want, that's why they exist. 

In Sonic Boom, everyone act as they did in Modern Sonic games, and they act like they did in Modern games, so why is it that this game is still a reboot? Because they changed their Design and the overall Location/Setting. It doesn't matter what it is. Since the game is a reboot it can do whatever with Blaze while staying in bounds. Because it's a reboot.

 

The only problem being that it isn't confirmed nor denied that '06 was a reboot. There's plenty of evidence to suggest it is, and plenty of ties to past games to say that it isn't.

I could probably buy into the whole blaze being an invention of silver's mind from being alone since its never really explained that besides silver, blaze was with him too and why she was there to begin with when she's supposed to be in an alternate dimension (though there is nothing saying that his future isn't an alternate dimension besides the fact that omega is there) and of course there is the fact that no one ever acknowledges her throughout the whole game, not even sonic. I don't know, I know its mostly just a fan theory at best but its a pretty believable one.

i mean other people really do think this.

You implyed it:

 

I most certainly did not imply teleportation, "blue" sir. Cut the crap there.

[DBZHedgy]

I most certainly did not imply teleportation, "blue" sir. Cut the crap there.

If not that then what else would you be referring to?

We've already established that Mephiles can manipulate Time, and that's only because of Shadow's Chaos Control powers.

 

How does it make him stupid for making them go into the future for Shadow trapping him in the scepter of darkness a "dumb" thing?

"blue" sir

Misinterpreting such a vague response is classified as being Naive? How?

[Straw Hat]

That's cuz I have a lot to say.

Maybe.... But maybe you should have a little less

That's just it though, reboots can include things of the past and tweak them to their advantage.

Like Sonic Boom for example. Sonic and Tails are pretty well versed, The tornado still exists, Eggman is still the bad guy, and their character is all the same as well, but it takes place in a different universe because it's a reboot.

To be honest, I'm trying to keep everything I say short and sweet.

What? Boom isn't a reboot, it's an entirely new universe and canon. It's not 'rebooting' anything.

[DBZHedgy]

A reboot is practically a synonym for restart, and Sonic Boom did just that with their characters. They reset everything to their liking. Plus earlier before this was revealed Rumors of Sega rebooting the series were on the rise. Boom may not be it, but it certainly is resetting everything and starting from scratch. The general thing that a reboot does.

That's not necessarily a reset. It's more of a reimagining.

[DBZHedgy]

It still starts from scratch, just as a reboot is meant to do.

[DaBatGuy]

Reboots are meant to completely replace the original series,  not merely exist in parallel with it like with Sonic Boom.

[FireBird75]

Exactly.  "Sonic Boom" is meant to be a new continuity, not a reboot.

Sonic Boom is as much a "reboot" as Sonic X, Satam and Underground. Using Boom as an example of a reboot, when it isn't, to support the way '06 mishandles established characters is pretty damn contrived.

Sonic X is just about the same as 06, taking already established things and altering them to their liking. Just as Satam, Underground, and Boom has done. With no real explanation for this whatsoever... except Boom of course. 

 

All of the other series are supposed to take place in the Classic/Modern Sonic universe, yet many things that do come up in those shows are ever mentioned in the games.

[Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon]

You really don't understand how they're different, do you?

 

Sonic X, Sonic Boom and Satam are alternate realities living alongside the games. Not so with 06.

Misinterpreting such a vague response is classified as being Naive? How?

Oh the "Blue-ness" refers to much more than just that.

When was that ever explained???

 

And your still being Snide, just like Nepenthe asked both of us not to.

[Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon]

Carbo Christ! You never knew something that obvious!?

 

They are different canons, plain as day.

[StaticMania]

It doesn't need to be explained, its very clearly obvious that those other Sonic media are NOT in or using the same universe as the Sonic games. They are different canon(s) that have to revolve around the source material that  was there when those other media were created, they don't effect the source material in anyway. They make their own universe that is either completely different or they retell events from the "original" material in their own way.
 
A Reboot replaces the original source, replaces story, designs, game-play(Video game reboots), writing style, and the tone of the series as a whole. A reboot cannot exist if the original series is still going on just as it was, otherwise calling it a reboot in the 1st place was just stupid.

Okay, you two, that's more than enough. Please stop taking jabs and throwing snarky remarks at one another and discuss Sonic '06 in a decent manner and nothing else. And DBZHedgy, don't tell anyone what to do as that isn't your job around here, especially since you have continuously have caused problems yourself.

I believe the both of you have been talked to more than enough times for the way you have been acting in this thread and others here. That said, if either one of you do this sort of thing again do expect some sort of disciplinary action as the Staff is sick and tired of talking to you telling you both how to conduct yourselves so please stop it.

[Gabz Girl]

Apparently Sonic 06 was supposed to be a reboot of sorts. Then again, I don't know why they had the stupid "it never happened" ending to begin with. >>

[Shaddy Zaphod]

Random scenario.

 

What if Sonic 06 had succeeded in bringing the series back to it's former glory, how would it be different now?

[Spin Attaxx]

We'd have a fuck ugly Eggman from every game onward.

 

Clearly, '06 had to fail to spare us all this horrible fate.

 

... Jesus, this game is like Jesus - it died for Sonic Team's sins.

[Shaddy Zaphod]

I suppose.

 

 

Thing is, I'd actually be okay with it. Assuming the developers knew how to still improve on things, we'd essentially be getting another Sonic Adventure game every few years. 06 had a decent framework in theory, but in execution it was so awful.
