Listen, Amy is an incredibly cute character and I love drawing her a lot and will keep doing so. She's actually the most kind-hearted and supportive character in the whole Sonic series, wanting to spread her message of love and such everywhere, but sometimes when she's in the way for no reason in the Sonic story plots it needs to be called out.

Yes, Amy's entire role for SA2...is just being there for absolutely no reason. Sure you're free to make the argument that she "rescued" Sonic from G.U.N (by asking him to marry her first) and that she encouraged Shadow to help Sonic and his friends from preventing the Space Colony Ark from colliding with Earth (only because he saw flashes of Maria in her), but Rouge easily could have fulfilled that role to encourage Shadow and Tails even questioned why Amy was even with him to begin with. She even gets forgotten and ditched several times during the story. Long story short, for SA2 Amy was just along for the ride for the sake of being there for the ride...

Eggman should have sho- HEEEEYYYY I'M KIDDING!

Big reminder before people try to correct me in the comments. I'm going off of Sonic Adventure 2 specifically from the early 2000s. I'm not going off of Sonic X which came after the game or any comics. If you've played the game then you'll know that this post about Amy being there in the game for the sake of being there is accurate, especially with the Hero Story that she's in being very straightforward with no complications. I've played SA2 a crap ton of times growing up, like a lot to the point where I know this. If you don't believe me then I encourage you to look up specifically the hero story she's in online and the final chapter. There should be Youtube videos about it to watch the scenes. It's usually good to do this and if I'm wrong about anything here then please correct me without malice or anything.

Words cannot describe the amount of ignorance this post exudes.

All good. You haven't played the game. It's fine. And you haven't bothered correcting anything. I'm going off of the game btw. Not Sonic X or any crap comics you're thinking of. Either tell me what I'm missing or just be quiet...

How does her being the one who changes Shadow's heart and motivation, (Mostly because she reminds him of Maria) deadweight? Are you fucking kidding me?

I love how it took you until the next day to respond literally after I just responded to you last night. Took you that long to come up with a response huh? Let me help you with something since you seem to be the only one upset about this currently and the fact that you can't read apparently for a blank account you have. She helped encourage Shadow ONLY because he saw flashes of Maria in her. The same thing happened with Rouge when she was trapped in the vault on Prison Island. That was the ONLY useful thing Amy did. Amy contributed NOTHING to this game besides just being there. Sonic even had to abort what he was originally doing to go all the way to rescue her and Tails from Eggman. Amy isn't a uselss character, but her role in this game is anything, but helpful. She was forgotten several times by the group in the Hero Story since they all had their own goals. She didn't...oh right! Being with Sonic. How typical. You're free to continue refuting this as much as possible, but you won't get anywhere since that's what really happens in the game.

I love that you think I was busy crafting my response (like an insane person). But anyway, If you don't want to agree with me that's fine. I'm not saying Amy was at her best in SA2, (That would be SA1 & Frontiers IMO.) I'm just saying that saying removing her from the story would change nothing is batshit illogical.

Sorry for the long wording. You're free to read this if you want.

I have a tendency to get aggressive with my words so I do want to at least apologize about that and I need to work on it so I'll say this.

It's taking you days to respond (like a bot or inactive user would do which is called wasting one's time) like you're doing right now so yes that's exactly what I thought you were doing. You may be busy in life, I don't know and never will know, but if I replied to you quick enough literally right after you replied and it takes you till the next day to reply or days later will raise questions and the conversation will usually get dropped like it should be right now. To clarify something, this isn't a very serious picture. It was originally drawn and uploaded as a joke, despite the fact that Amy was just along for the ride. Amy being present in SA2 isn't the issue. The issue is that the stupid writers just threw her in there as some "Hey I'm here too guys please don't forget that" type of character. There is no way around that fact. She's in the game as fodder with only one good role which is at the game's last story. She was given no real objective, no role, story gameplay or anything. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles all had roles to play in the Hero Story, the very story she was in. She didn't have single one. THAT was my whole point. She was just.....there. She's good company, but that was it. Let me give you an example.

Many games out there exist where you play as a created character that have their own motives and stories to tell. However, there are many games too where you play as characters that are just there. You're mostly just helping side characters that join you with there issues more than whatever goals your own character has. You're, as they would say, part of their own world as a pawn piece. That's how Amy feels in SA2. Here's a different example that's not too relateble to Amy in SA2, but it still has a couple similarities.

The Pokemon games are the best example of this. We always play as kids in the games who's original goal is to become a Pokemon Master and Champion of the region they're in. The stories in the game will mostly involve a corrupt organization trying to do various things like distort and alter the world, steal Pokemon, capture legendaries for more evil plans, destroy all life excluding the organization that claims to be better, etc. You're character has no business being a hero when it could have been left to someone else and it continues to be the funniest thing ever seeing a literal kid single-handedly topple entire evil organizations. It really is funny. I may make a picture about that. You have no personal beef with these people, but the NPCs recruit you as if you were just picked up off the streets and ask you the player, a child character, to fight entire corrupt adults. As heroic as it is to help fight corruption like that, you're character was only trying to fight gym leaders and become champion afterwards. You're part of a cause that's none of your business because the inept adults can't handle rhe situation themselves. See what I mean now?

Amy at the end of Sonic Adventure: "I gotta become more independent and strong... so Sonic can appreciate me more!"

Amy all throughout Sonic Adventure 2: "Lol what character arc?"

I'm not a fan of Amy that much and I'm not a hardcore fan of SA2 but didn't Amy change Shadow's mind over humankind?
Rouge is not as emotionally intelligent and communicative as Amy, sorry dude. Rouge doesn't give a damn over humans, she only cares about individual people and her things.
In any case, it wasn't her fault, more like incompetent writers.

Yes I already put that information in the description about Amy getting Shadow to help, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that Amy was still just there the whole time. Rouge is like the Catwoman of the Sonic series who works for the government and cares mostly about treasure as a treasure hunter so I can see her caring about herself, but she's still shown to help others outside of her work or lust for treasure. Agreed, the writing team as with many games out there are the ones to blame despite how old the game is. They just threw her into this game as deadweight instead of being useful until the final chapter. This picture was drawn as a joke to pick on just that fact, but with a serious tone used as well.
