Blaze the Cat is a diamond of a Sonic character and rarely utilized in the right way. We need her in a proper Sonic story.

Cream the Rabbit debuted in Sonic Advance 2 in 2002, became a staple of the early 2000s Sonic franchise alongside her Chao companion Cheese, and then quietly stepped out of games as a playable character for nearly two decades. In this Origin Oracle, we cover the story of Cream the Rabbit, how she was created, why she disappeared from playable Sonic games, and how IDW Comics and Sonic Dream Team brought her back in a proper way.

After the success of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, Nintendo stress-tested the Pokémon brand with a blitz of experimental games/spin-offs.

https://www.patreon.com/c/TheMentok— Help me keep creating deep-dive gaming documentaries 🩸 By the late 2000s, Castlevania was at a crossroads. The handheld era had peaked, the series had grown darker and more complex, and Konami was desperate to reinvent it for a new generation. From Curse of Darkness to Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and the ambitious but divisive Lords of Shadow trilogy. So as we wait for the series' revival, this is the story of how Castlevania lost its soul.
