what if Amy Rose was killed by Metal Sonic after being captured during the events of Sonic CD? <img src="http://sonicsatam.co..._DIR#>/het.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="het.gif" />

Then sega would create a new female for sonic.

Then they'd replace her with Rainbow Dash and the games would be 20% COOLER. *shot*

Seriously though- I don't have a lot of Amy hate- I honestly like her design. Buuuuuuuttttt.... She's SO one dimensional character-wise. "Everything I do is for my beloved Sonic! lolololol!!!" Please, it's no wonder most of the mature fans can't stand her. I wish they'd give her some redeeming personality traits, or at least give her some goal other than "OMG I'MMA MARRY SONIC!!!". She's too much of a stereotypical fangirl. It's a bad influence on younger girls, and it's downright insulting for us older women. :/

Technically, every Sonic character(not counting other forms of media besides video games) are one-dimensional, but then again the Sonic franchise isn't about story and characters it's about gameplay kinda like Mario.

I couldn't agree more here.

I have no problem with Amy having big crush on Sonic and loving him a bit excessively, but that should not be her most memorable trait.

And sadly, that kind of mentality hurts the series because gameplay should never be the focal point of the Sonic series.

Granted, it should be a high priority, but trying to follow the light-heartedness of Mario just doesn't work for Sonic.

At least to me it doesn't.

Gameplay is the deal breaker for every game ever, but for a series like Sonic especially. It's always been about the gameplay.

Isn't gameplay the most important aspect to a video game? For RPGs, 1st and 3rd person shooters, story is important. For platforming games, most of them have shallow and one dimensional stories with the execption of Jak & Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. Sonic in the games was just about speed and platforming to begin with. Sure you need story to progress the game, but it's not always the case.

Don't get me wrong, gameplay is very important to me.

If you can't enjoy playing the game, a solid story in it won't help too much.

But I'm very big on story depth as well.

I think one of the best games to have a mix of both was Paper Mario: Thousand year door.

That was just such a well made game.

It was one of those that thought outside the box games of Nintendo.

Wish Sega would have done something like that, but actually pulled it off successfully.

They had way too many out of the box ideas that bombed big time.

I think a better question would be is if Sega picked Sally to play that part instead of Amy, would the Sonic games be much better than they are now?


An even better question is: if Sally replaced Elise in 06 but the rest of the game was pretty much the same, would it be any better?

The answer to both questions is yes. Sally is much better and Amy and as for Sonic '06: the plot wouldda been better cause Sally would of been captured once if anything. Having Elise was a terrible move by SEGA.

65% of the world would rejoice, 25% would rejoice and try to get Sally in there and the remaining 10% will be the fangirls crying over the fact that SEGA killed their dreams of Sonamy (which will never happen)

And the zombie topic rises from it's grave.

[Uncle Ben]

I felt like putting new light into this. but im sticking with what i said

Actually back then she wasn't so bad.

[Uncle Ben]

ohh no she wasnt but over time she has become a pain. it may be better to have another girl for Sonic (i.e. Sally)

[RedAuthar]

True....

[Uncle Ben]

can we have it so it looks like an accident??

[RedAuthar]

Nope.

[Uncle Ben]

awww man. Just have her written off that would be a better idea

[RedAuthar]

Meh. She has some good.......nope...nevermind.

[Uncle Ben]

exactly. this is why she needs to go

[RedAuthar]

She makes a good meat shield.

[RedMenace]

Silly Authar. There'd be no need for a meat shield. No one (with a couple uninteresting exceptions) permanently dies in Sonic games.
