Technically, Amy as a tomboy was supposed to be a part of her nature in the games, but the comics emphasized it far more. It's often considered a good change.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The reason for Amy being changed into a tomboy. And the reason that the series went fully reprint. Technically, Amy as a tomboy was supposed to be a part of her nature in the games, but the comics emphasized it far more. It's often considered a good change. But the original writer was allowed to write the Adventure arc, so she went back to her old self. She notably didn't fight much, if at all, in that arc and mainly just comforted and gawked a lot. Any negativity towards this direction was less towards turning her into a tomboy and more the writers were directly asked to make Amy [[CloserToEarth the most mature]] and [[PositiveDiscrimination least flawed]] member of the team (and of course, [[ShipSinking completely desposing of her crush on Sonic]]). It's especially ironic considering [[HilariousInHindsight how similar their original rendition of Amy was to how the games would later develop her]].
