Sonic X is nuts, that's what happened.
‽‽‽‽ ^These are interrobangs. Love them. Learn them. Use them.Sonic gained 5,000 incredibly annoying friends no one gives a fuck about is what happened
One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -LandstanderI'm sure if I waved a bunch of Homestuck stuff at people I knew they'd be at least as perplexed.
I don't see why this would need to be locked, I heard there are some annoying fans, but they're probably the people most able to explain this to me.
^That's what I remember.

Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.there are two sonic shows that most people remember
with the exception of the Sonic X anime
one is dark, edgy, and awesome (considered one of the best saturday morning cartoons)
the other teaches what to do when you have been sexually molested
and that putting yourself in the washing machine is bad
check out the nostalgia critic's video for both of them

This level of trolling is reasonable for Commander Obvious. What do you think of this, everyone?Well, you see, Sonic is a fast-food restauraunt that looks a lot like a gas station. You drive up to one of the many order boards, place your order, and wait for it.
The service is unique in that your food is delivered to your car by people in rollerskates.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
It's in the style of 50s burger joints, before the Mc Donalds quick service system was introduced.

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.Sonic sucks.
Well, not really. But it can be boring as hell...
...a little brother should belong to his older sister, right? - Orimura ChifuyuThe Genesis Sonic games take place on Mobius, Sonic's home planet, while everything from Sonic Adventure onward seems to take place on Earth. I am not sure if this was ever explained in the game series but in the beginning of Sonic X, Sonic and his friends are all mysteriously transported to human-inhabited Earth, where Eggman quickly begins taking over the world. 8p That may explain the dichotomy between the classics and the newer games.
If you are asking about Super Sonic (flashing yellow, flying, DBZ-esque, etc.), it is what Sonic can transform into when all 7 Chaos Emeralds are gathered and I think this was possible as early as Sonic The Hedgehog 2. 8]

There is a lot of information on the various iterations of Sonic here
too. 8]
Sonic The Hedgehog: A hedgehog that can run at supersonic speeds... somehow.
The plot really isn't the point, now...
I am now known as Flyboy.Oh. That was a cartoon SPINOFF of the games we all know and love. Looking back, I think it was just a way of getting a new generation into the franchise. And it worked. The show premiered in America when I was in elementary school. (I'm applying to college now, LOL!) Back then, since I was so young, I only knew of Sonic from watching my older relatives play the games. This basic familiarity was what got me to watch it at first. I fell in love with the show and immediately started begging my parents to get the games.
As to your confusion with the story, the anime/cartoon added in a lot of original characters that weren't featured in the games, most of them being humans. The entire series starts when using the Chaos Emeralds causes the characters that were actually from the games to wind up on earth (but not our earth with the games, just an earth with humans and no cartoon animals.) Rouge the bat was employed by the US government, and that girl she was with was assigned to watch her.
Man now you've got me remembering SatAM when they had writers that could actually do a dark story well.
I think one of the things that kept that from feeling overbearing like some of the recent iterations is that it was done at about the same time as the wackier Adventures series. I remember them airing back to back a couple times.
Also Snively interrogating someone by threatening to make escargot...with margarine!!

Then Sonic Adventure happened, and suddenly the games had a plot that wasn't an Excuse Plot. So the games used the Japanese backstory from that point on. (Except for the Robotnik/Eggman thing* .)
Sonic X is the only cartoon that even tried to adapt the actual game plots (rather than just the characters), and even then they added new characters and the whole alternate-universes bit.
And yeah, the Chaos Emeralds have been in the games since the original Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic himself has been able to use them to go super since Sonic 2. (And Super Sonic almost certainly was a deliberate Shout-Out to Dragonball Z.) It's just that, prior to Sonic Adventure, getting all 7 emeralds was a 100% Completion thing, whereas after Adventure collecting the emeralds was an integral part of the in-game story.
What do the Chaos Emeralds do? They're Green Rocks—they do whatever the plot wants them to do.

I walk into the lounge, and there's a Hind watching as Sonic snowboards down a San Francisco street on the TV.
An hour later I'm more confused.
The last thing I remember from a Saturday morning? There was a coup d'etat in what appears to be the only city in the world that ineffectually attacked Eggman while the political situation remained unstable and a lady on a SWAT team appeared to have a lesbian relationship with a fox-bot...thing.
Meanwhile, Sonic is shot out of the love child of an F-14 and an X-wing.
Oh, and emeralds seem to be a combination of blood diamonds and nuclear fuel rods.
THE HELL?
What happened to a blue dude fighting an evil scientist who turned innocent woodland creatures into robots (likely because he was a shitty programmer and used brains in lieu of a decent OS)? Oh, and two useless evil henchmen with pointy noses?
I am so very, very lost. Help me. Please.
