An underutilized character with so much potential. He's considered one of the 3 hedgehogs (see picture below) but the reality is that Silver is not on the level of Sonic or Shadow. Silver really feels like a furniture third wheel. Silver wasn't even a boss for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations even though Silver & Shadow fought each other in Sonic 06.
Silver The Hedgehog needs his own games & character development & progression. Silver's existence began 200 years in the future after Sonic & Shadow. Silver sounds like a child about to be a teenager & lacks maturity. Sega needs to come out with a game about Silver's early life before iblis destroyed the world. (refer to Sonic 06' if you not familiar with iblis). Then, Sega needs to come out with another game (like a Sonic Heroes) where Silver is the head of his trio which is an opportunity to showcase his maturity. We know that Blaze The Cat would flank Silver but who would be the third member of Silver's Trio? Sega also needs to create good villains for Silver.
I think that Silver would fit perfectly in a game like Sonic Frontiers. You could replace Sonic with Silver right now in Sonic Frontiers & the game would be just as good.
Silver is unique in his own right. Silver has telekinesis which allows him to control objects & living things with solely his hands & has the ability to float & levitate. He's got a good theme song, Dreams Of An Absolution & of course, his design is great too.
Silver feels buried because Sega hasn't put much effort into him. Hopefully, Sega realizes what they have in Silver The Hedgehog.
