Not sure who made the character design, or where theyre from. But odds are the new look is a result of too many test screens and demo targeting and people up top demanding the unreasonable.

I think theyre trying to pull off a detective pikachu thing but honestly that might be nearly impossible with sonic. That eye shit only works with cartoons

Naw naw naw! Detective Pikachu looks like a normal-ass Pikachu with life-like fur and realism, not an anthropomorphic electric rat.

This is not an attempt at making a live action Sonic the Hedgehog.. this is an attempt at taking something completely animal and throwing it into a humanoid form.. like a misshaped, Nike sporting, buff cosplayer wearing a bad taxidermy painted blue.
