Since Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, his edginess has been on display in this franchise, especially after his game was released. Shadow has often been a controversial character in the eyes of gamers, with some finding his creation a little cringy and desperate in a bid to keep the franchise relevant.

Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the most iconic characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) as an “anti-hero” counterpart to Sonic, created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Jim Carrey 's character.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has a bunch of returning enemies to face off in both of the titles. One of the fortunate ones is Shadow the Hedgehog, who now has his own game attached to Sonic Generations.
