Bad idea to me. Since when do hedgehogs use telekinetic powers? This isn't pokemon. We have enough hedghogs and Silver is quite eccentric to the others. This idea was just as bad as werewolf Sonic. Where Sonic Team comes up with these horrible ideas, I don't know. Silver helped to ruin both Sonic's and Shadow's image. I haven't played Sonic 06, but Silver is one reason I don't want to.

Character Select
I can't say I've actually played a game with Silver in it (aside from "Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity", though that's hardly a good way to get a feel for him XD).

I actually like his quill design... It's unique and rather cute (even if it is a pain in the butt to draw XD).

As for liking his character... I'm not sure. I really want to like him... But I'm still sorta sitting on the fence with him. It may be because I've only seen cutscenes and read transcripts where he's involved, but I don't feel I've got a good enough feel for his character. I don't understand his personality, so to speak...

In "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)", he seems somewhat careless and headstrong to me. Very easily influenced, and rather dependent on those he is close to... A kind-hearted and helpful side... Perhaps a little bit easily distracted? I'm not sure about that one though.

However, in the "Sonic Rivals" series, from what I've read... He still seems headstrong, but I couldn't pick out any of the other traits I'd previously associated with him. He seemed much more rude... Even a little nasty, with the "MY business first!" and "I don't have time for you!" attitude he has going on...

In other words... I liked him in "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)", but wasn't too sure of his appearances in the "Sonic Rivals"...

That's why I'm really hoping that he'll appear in "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" or the rumoured new season of "Sonic X" - I really want to get to know him better!

I think they should just ban him from Sonic games altogether, and he can be the werewolf, not Sonic.

I still can't use this.

Uhhh yeah. When did you get back, Cookie Chomper? XD

Anyways, I happen to like Silver a lot. He is blatantly immature, headstrong and heroic to the point of obliviousness, but lacking the independence to carry himself with a bit more dignity and portray the role of a hero more naturally. He's really nothing more than a baby who's been forced to grow up in highly unfortunate circumstances. This makes him contrast a lot with the other heroes who have infinitely more confidence and experience than him, ironically making him one of the more human characters and therefore easy to like for me.

On the flipside in the Rivals series, he is a heck of a lot more rude and attitudinal. He is obviously still a marshmallow, but he's much more quick to anger. If he does make more canon appearances (which is more than likely), I'm hoping they'll delve more into his softer side, because seeing him utterly choke and cower in Amy's presence is when he is the most entertaining.

I like Silver. He's one of the most unique in the series. He may be a hedgehog (None of them look like hedgehogs at all!), but he looks like he could be his own species. But then again, he's from 200 years in the future. He could easily belong to some slightly evolved species of hedghehog... Haha, 200 years and already evolved. Of course, the 200 thing could have been wrong, seeing as the information source could have been outdated. For all we know, it could have been... OVER... No, I won't say it. I refuse to say it. >>;

His gloves are neat, but I don't like how people have a tendancy to say that those are the source of his tele/psychokinetic powers. That stuff comes from the mind. His boots are cool, too. Those boots were made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do.

As for his personality, well... I'd quote the last cutscene, but that'd spoil part of it. :> I luvs his personality, he's naive, he's rather dependent, he's got more flaws than many characters. He wants to do the right thing, but he's easily influenced to go about it in the wrong way. Sonic's a near-perfect hero character, Shadow's a likeable emo who always ends up doing things right cuz he's still a hero... Every "hero" character has got this near or completely perfect personality, then Silver pops in and is completely flawed. Heck, he was even influenced by Mephiles, a villain. Sure, he questioned whether it was right or not to do whatever, but he was convinced to do whatever anyway.

Silver's got to be the second most gullible character. Knuckles was, is, and always will be the first. xD

I like Silver. He is the sole character with original quill designs, and he has SO many outfits (If you search around you can find some of his official outfits). He also is the only Sonic character to not abuse spinning, and he can match Sonic/Shadow. Shadow only -really- beat him because of Chaos Control, but since Silver learns it later, he'd tie with them. Plus, he has a Super Form, and its a slightly different color than the other's. And as Super Silver, he pretty much is unstoppable, with his ability to pretty much lift anything. I actually beat the final boss with him. Not to mention he is officially the first character to beat Sonic. Even though in the end, Sonic ends up tieng with him.

I'm not sure why everyone hates Sonic 06, it was one of the most enjoyable Sonic games created for me. And even after you beat it, you can still do missions, get all of the Chaos Powers for Sonic, and other things.

Silver is pretty much my favorite game character since Espio.

Since when do hedgehogs have super speed? It's called a super hero/hero... They have powers. Telekinesis is not anything more unusual about any character from the Sonic Universe. I don't exactly see how that is "bad".

Why because it doesn't follow with the others being fast? That doesn't make much sense.

Most of all Sonic characters were physical attacks. Telekineses is not physical, it's like a special attack within in the mind (no fists). In fact, no part of the body is used or objects, it's just the mind attacking. It's a bad idea to me. How come he's a hedgehog with these powers and not Sonic and Shadow?

Shadow uses special attacks with the mind. Chaos powers. All he needs is a Chaos Emerald.

Maybe Sega wanted something different for a change. It's nice to have a more original character. It's hard to get creative with physical attacks, and it eventually gets repetitive, thus making it boring.

But doing it with and emerald and without one is a big difference. Emeralds are energy. I don't like how Silver does these things without an emerald.

The bigger issue is that Silver is just another unneeded hedgehog in my opinion.

TEE HEE!
well i think Silver is a pretty good character he does have different types of outfits in Sonic games-Sonic Rivals,Sonic rivals 2,he can use Psychic powers to mostly lift up any object like if he is using the force XD ,He might be pretty slow but he did nearly beat Sonic,He can pretty much use his psychic powers to actually Glide for short period of time,His hairstyle is pretty much Original and his Super Transformation AKA SuperSilver AKA My old user name XD can lift way more objects that he could in his normal form,Mostly Invincible to anything,Strong,And fast so he is a pretty good character now he kinda needs A little bit of more spotlight into the Sonic games/Franchise and show more of his storyline E.G "Shadow the hedgehog" if he is going to get more known i would say

Well. All Silver does is lift things, glide in a Knuckles style, if not worse, and thats it. Shadow does all of that, but upgraded. Plus, its still more original then Homing Attack Spam and spin dashes.

And if Silver wasn't in Sonic Rivals/Sonic '06, the game storyline wouldn't exist. He is definitely needed. Plus, its like Pokemon. You meet a character for the episode, stop the villian, and go on with your lives. But Silver is staying this time.

*ahem*...FALCON PUNCH!!!
i like silver. I personally think he should get his own game like shadow. It would pwnge and it would help the sonic franchize. I think he should be able to control water and fire because since he uses hit mind powers to pick up aerth...why not use it to pick up fire and water? that would be awesome!

Thats too abusable. Plus its a solid-type telekenesis. Plus, he can already jump on a rock and use PsyShock to fly.
