As a life long sonic fan I can tell that he had to leave out a lot of lore.

1:43
The IDW comics actually go into this, and the long and short of it is he believes everyone deserves a chance for redemption, and if they use that to continue being evil, he'll always be there to kick their ass over and over again.
Yes, characters call him out on it and it does come back to bite him repeatedly, but heroes must have their flaws.

Silver deserved better. He's my all time favourite Sonic character, and i wished he had gotten a better introduction game

Yeah, this isn't a good timeline... they left out a bunch of games for some reason.
EDIT: Here's a quick list of all the major games they left out
- SegaSonic the Hedgehog (widely theorized to be the first game in the timeline)
- Sonic CD (First appearence of Amy and Metal Sonic)
- Knuckles Chaotix (First appearence of the Chaotix)
- Sonic Mania (Explains why Classic Sonic is in Forces)
- the Sonic Advance games (First appearence of Cream)
- the Sonic Rush games (First appearence of Blaze)
- Sonic Battle
- the Game Gear games (Sonic Chaos, Sonic Triple Trouble, Tails Adventure, etc.)

“Why doesn’t Sonic just kill Robotnik?”
Second Sonic movie, Patterrz.

Funny how Patt is making the connection between Chaos and Cell from Dragonball...

When Chaos' form is basically that of a gigantic biological cell

Also, if Pat has not seen SnapCube’s Sonic dubs in whole, (he made a “piss on the moon” reference, but that joke went viral on its own) then here’s my petition for him to watch them.
Edit: Thinking about it more, if Pat would want to dip his toes in first, then he should watch one of the abundant compilations of the RTFD Sonic series to check if their humor aligns.

Fun fact: alongside the 10 endings, Shadow The Hedgehog also has 326 uniquely named paths to get to those ending

A little late to answer, but I have pondered this myself. Aside from “it’s a franchise” reasoning, The reason sonic doesn’t just kill Eggman, it’s because Eggman doesn’t needlessly kill or slaughter, Sonic and friends are constantly at odds with Eggman and his robots so the only times Eggman “kills” is when someone opposing him dies to one of his traps or mechs.

Sonic even Has a line in sonic adventure 2 is response to the gravity of a threat Eggman makes.

Sonic only kills, when it’s absolutely necessary.

“Sonic noob”

Proceeds to talk about how he has fond memories of playing these games throughout the video

This man went from quoting Sonic adventure 2 fandub dark story to having the exact same reaction to the pyramid rockets as Alfred did in the hero story

there's a couple of details that didn't get included in this timeline. Here's a few:

Sonic CD is... a weird game to not include given it's the first appearance of Amy and Metal Sonic on top of now officially taking place between Sonic 1 and 2.

The GBA games are the most confusing of the bunch. While Advance 1 and 2 could happen just fine (on top of 2 being Cream's first game), Advance 3 is a direct sequel to Sonic Battle. Said game features a Shadow that has no amnesia and has embraced his past as Gerald's creation. My guess is that the timeline splits before converging in 06.

Speaking of 06, despite the disappearing of Solaris, there is some evidence in later games that it wasn't a full reset. Notably, Blaze remembers Crisis City.

The Rivals games reveal that a different version of Iblis now known as Ifrit still exists and that Eggman had a descendant known as Eggman Nega (formerly said to be from an alternate dimension in the Rush games), who became evil because the Robotnik name got sullied by Eggman's many failures, which caused him to be looked down by others. He gets called out by Shadow, who says that's just an excuse (and given Eggman was still evil even after looking up to Gerald, he's not wrong).

9:10 "how does he have so much money"

It's hinted in that nothing he makes costs anything because it's fully automated and Eggman is broke most of the time

I can't believe it, a Sonic video from a non Sonictuber that doesn't excessively mock the series. They also did a pretty good job summarizing the plots of the games discussed in this video (even though I think you could argue for a few games they left out being canon).

i love how pat goes from "yeah, that makes sense" and "that's kinda stupid" to "what?" "what is happening?"

Eggman just runs a bunch of amusement parks and casinos on the side, that's where he gets his funding

1:43 That's a plot point in the Comics actually.
Sonic Sees it as HIS values, to not kill unless there's no choice, and there's inherit benefits to robotnic/Eggman being around (Shadow, Blaze and Omega and I bet more would have never met sonic.)

theres only one timeline by the way, the japanese version of forces uses a word that can mean "dimension" as it was translated in the west but is actually closer to "another place" or "another world" in a broad sense

1:41
Plot armor
Eggman survived his death star rippoff blowing up while inside a Giant robot (which is also blowing up seperate to the death star rippoff) falling into orbit, crash landed into an active volcano, and not a single scratch on him (note that all that happened in the same game, in that exact order, back to back)

Fun fact about Forces, Super Sonic was for once finally not part of the finale because Super Sonic mode was dlc…I’m not joking…
