Firstly, I'd like to see Shadow, Silver and Mephiles be a team (like a Sonic Heroes team) with Blaze as a supporting character. Because with Silver's brain and Shadow and Mephiles powerful abilities; they can get through anything and I can see them getting along with each other.
Secondly, as for Shadow, I'd like to see a more innocent but serious personality. In the games, I think the make the kid too depressing and while that's "cool" to most people, having a depressing character, to me, get's kinda boring and it sucks all the fun out of the game. And Shadow is a child; make him act like one. Dumb him down a bit and make him the cute little guy that he is.
Thirdly, I'd like to see Silver be a bit more assertive and more alert. Also, I'd like to see Shadow be a foil to him. Also, make him mostly the brains of the group.
Fourthly, make Mephiles one of the good guys. He'd be a tough guy since he's a power character.
Last, make Blaze a bit more girly and more kiddish. Make her chase after Silver in every game. I'd kinda like to see her emotionally dependent on Silver as well hence she's follow him.
Okay. Here are MY thoughts, seeing as you're going into a WAAAAY child friendly state.
Shadow was absolutely perfect in Sonic Adventure 2, and he was supposed to be dead at the end of the game. All is said that is needed for that topic. Shadow should have been fully rotted about now, his eyes turned to dust alongside with his precious Maria. But no. They had to bring him back and make him into some sort of wish-he-was badass. Having a depressing character is amazing to
people like me who love tragedies and love something that doesn't end with smiles, kissing and dancing. Shadow's story in SA2 was amazing, and they should have never screwed that up for him. Or any of us fans. NOTHING about Shadow should be baby like or childish.
In fact, in my opinion, NONE of the characters should be childlike or babyish.
Mephiles? A good guy? The first villain to ever actually kill Sonic on screen in a video game, and you think he should be a good guy. Mephiles is not only dead in every plane of existence, but he is in no way a good guy in any of them that he has ever been in. That's almost like saying that Eggman should become Sonic's best buddy. It just doesn't happen like that. I can see Mephiles trying to convince Sonic and the others to join him, but only for evil. Nothing
good.
We don't need another Amy, and we don't need another character to go down the same path that Rouge did. If Blaze was (God forbid) more girly and chilish, we would be seeing another character (like Rouge) go from once independent and able to take care of herself, to god awful stalking and crying and whimpering over the dude, hence making the game really annoying. I like Amy, but I don't think I could put up with two of her. Silver is the one that should be drooling over Blaze, not the other way around.
SIlver being the brains of the group would be good if he weren't so naive and childish. But that's also what Tails is for. He's supposed to be the brains of the group, hence Silver would have had no point.
What makes me so mad about all these new Sonic games is the fact that everyone has to be a team, everyone has to be a crowd. I'm so sick of seeing all of these once awesome characters have to depend on one another to survive. Go back to being alone, everyone! Christ! This isn't a mating ritual or a gang bang! Go back to Sonic Adventure 1 and 2! For Christs sake!
