they... kind of don't talk. And its bad , its bad because they are around each other all the time , and you get no characterization out of them. Shadow has more meaningful moments with everyone else, BUT rouge. When your boss tell you not to trust you friend and/or boyfriend and his aliens family is coming for a mobian style cookout from across the galaxy. You would think that would dictate more of a conversation? It didn't, it seems like... kinda she doesn't care that much about him. Because the only time she actually had something of meaning to say is when shadow tried to kill her, him almost murding her was the thing that got a reaction. And it was more scolding if anything and immediately invalidated because he was just mind controlled.
But she was with knuckles for like 5 minutes and started asking him about why he is on the island. Where was this non combat situation concern when your boss basically said don't trust shadow? Like thats weird, relic during that whole situation was basically bothering shadow about himself and even in that had a more meaningful conversation, unfinished, but meaningful conversation that rouge has had with him in a long butt time.
Maybe someone thinks that, plays into their personaly it doesn't really, and it reads poorly.
Just next time, just have rouge just sit down and just ask shadow some questions. Talk, have them talk.
??? Shadow and Rouge interact with each other more than they do with any other character. In every game they've appeared in execept for Shadow the Hedgehog, they've had various moments showing the type of bond they have with each other. Their ending in Sonic Heroes shows that even Ow the Edge Hedghe can have a light hearted conversation. In Sonic Battle, she went out of her way to help Shadow find out what Gerald truly intended when he created him, and in 06 Rouge said that even if the whole world would turn againist him, she'd still fight by his side. Rouge is Shadow's closest friend. Saying Rouge doesn't care about Shadow is showing that you don't understand her character.
I wouldn't necessarily trust the comic's portrayal of Rouge pre-252 because they destroyed her characterization and had her out to be some self-serving wench who would rather have another world crumble then give up a jewel but even the first issues of Sonic Universe show the type of relationship the two have.
But it is very strange for someone to ask for more of these two specifically. I'm no Nostradamus but I know for a fact we're going to see them interact by the basis of them working together. Asking for more Shadow and Rouge is like asking for more Sonic and Tails.
