As far as animated series go I am pretty sure the number which I have watch is in the the hundreds ,so I believe that I am by default an expert into the subject and I can judge Sonic even though I am not a gamer. So as it is obvious the series was made in order to increase sells of the games , but it wasn't just a trick to sell more ,it was fine to watch and the adventures of this hedgehog were funny and it didn't bored me as a kid.
The problem is that the series didn't try to be something more memorable, the crew clearly try to make it a good kid show in order Sony sell more video games. When the starting point is that it can go so much until show becomes to stupid even for a child. Likely the series ended after two years so it manage to save itself from becoming awful.
As far as kids show goes it isn't Batman (1992) ,Dragonballs(1989) ,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles( various) or Spiderman (1993) and similar projects which were praised for their style and are simple put awesome. It isn't so bad that it becomes a historic for their awfulness like, Fanboy and Chum Chum, Dora and many of the nickelodeon series nowadays. It is in the middle and the fact it wasn't on the air for a long time, only two seasons and twenty six episodes long, it erased quickly from the memory of the children who watch it. For real in IMDb the rating are just above 3000!
In the end fine ,but forgettable and if you are only a gamer you may knowing or if you have the memory of an elephant and you still remember it.
