Classic Sonic is no longer seen as an alternate version of Sonic but Modern Sonic's past self like this game stated.


* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The last line of the game, with Modern Sonic saying to Classic Sonic "Hey Sonic! Enjoy your future, it's going to be great!" was met with ''immediate'' derision amongst the fandom, both due to some of the rougher moments the Hedgehog himself faced throughout the franchise and the [[BrokenBase intensely-debated]] [[AudienceAlienatingEra quality]] with almost every game getting savaged by critics and at best very mixed reviews by fans. Then SEGA made the decision to split the "Classic" and "Modern" continuities from each other, making Classic Sonic not Modern Sonic's past self, but an alternate universal version. And the first major game for Classic Sonic after ''Generations'' (not counting ''VideoGame/SonicRunners'')? ''VideoGame/SonicMania'', which received high praise from both fans and critics alike. Suddenly, "Modern" Sonic's words to his "Classic" self [[MetaphoricallyTrue take on a whole new meaning]].

* AccidentalInnuendo: Be sure to include "generations" when searching for anything related to ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'', otherwise you're going to be seeing a lot of [[SlashFic Sonic x Shadow shipping art]] at best and outright [[RuleThirtyFour smut]] at worst.

** Before and after the reveal of ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'', some fans opted to use the title "Sonadow Generations," based on the fandom's PortmanteauCoupleName that shipped both characters, due to the usage of "Sonic x Shadow" in the remaster's title.

** ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'' does this with the Generations [=3DS=] version of the Biolizard boss fight, moving it back to being Shadow's opponent, with much more visual polish and no sign of the same dumbed-down gameplay as the original.

** When news of a ''Generations'' remaster leaked shortly before the reveal of ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'', fans were skeptical due to the poor quality of the ''Colors'' remaster and the fact the original is still widely-accessible through Steam while other entries like ''Heroes'' are not, along with concerns that delisting the original would harm its prolific modding scene. The first fear was assuaged after the reveal trailer, as the base game appears largely intact with minor lighting tweaks while the Shadow campaign was met with open arms.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Fans were not expecting to see ''Black Doom'' in the reveal trailer for ''Sonic X Shadow Generations''. Especially since Sega hasn't been keen on acknowledging him (and the Black Arms in general) since ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog''.

** The moment the remaster's title was announced, some fans joked that parents would look up ''Sonic X Shadow'' on Google, looking for the remaster but instead finding a bunch of [[YaoiGenre Yaoi fanart]] of the two.

* SalvagedStory: The Biolizard boss fight in the 3DS version received a lot of criticism from fans for being Sonic's boss fight, when the Biolizard was originally a Shadow boss in ''Adventure 2''. While this was understandable, given that ''Adventure 2'' doesn't have many other bosses to choose from, it didn't stop fans from being peeved about the change, especially since the Biolizard is explicitly connected to Shadow. ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'' rectifies this and restores the Biolizard to its rightful place as Shadow's opponent.
