>>42683105Ken Penders was the writer of Archie Sonic from 1994-2006. In that time, he turned it from supplementary material for SatAM, to a Furry Soap Opera, something which his later works have continued.
In 2K8, Bioware made a licenced Sonic RPG with another Echidna Tribe, something Penders had done earlier, though in a different matter.
He sued Sega and EA in 2011, and the case was settled out of Court. Long story short.
Anyways, I think the Mewtwo thing in Movie 16 was done cause the estate said no. It was a workaround, not a choice.
