The only reason it's a "key trait" is because of the Adventure games.
In every game before that, he didn't treasure hunt any more than Sonic and Tails.
And how 'bout diggin'?
He digs.

Doesn't mean they should scrap the concept. They added something to him, and I think they should keep that because it makes him unique from the rest of the cast.

It's not like treasure hunting is this hobby he does every other Sunday. He only did it in past games because the story called for it, though it could be argued that it was actually only added to the story so they could make Knuckles treasure hunt. Every game past the Adventure games has no mention of it, because the story never called for it.

It doesn't have to be JUST the M.E. shards, you know. He's still a treasure hunter. Even Sonic calls him the best treasure hunter in the world. In every game before that, he didn't treasure hunt any more than Sonic and Tails.

Besides power...or was that it? Not gameplay-wise, but character-wise. The only other treasure hunter is Rouge, but Knuckles was still known for having the ability to find things easily before Rouge was even introduced.

It would just get redundant if in every game that allowed you to play as Knuckles without other characters tagging along, that he has to go hunt for stuff.
He should be doing his.. You know.. Duty. What was that again? Guarding the Master Emerald?
How long has it been since he's done that? Methinks the last time was about 7 years ago.

And Sonic running all the time and Tails' mechanical abilities aren't redundant at all? He should be doing his.. You know.. Duty. What was that again? Guarding the Master Emerald? So all of a sudden, they can't explain what he's doing with Master Emerald? He doesn't have to stay at the shrine for the rest of his life, you know. How long has it been since he's done that? Methinks the last time was about 7 years ago.
Even though they made a big reference to him being a treasure hunter in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. Just because there hasn't been a gameplay involving treasure hunting, doesn't mean it's suddenly been ignored.

One could argue that if everytime you played as Knuckles you had to sit in front of the Master emerald, doing absolutely nothing, would be boring as hell.

You could actually do that in Sonic Adventure. >_>

Sonic Chronicles Preview http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=183596Sonic's the Sunny Delight of gaming mascots; RPGs are the stomping grounds for mugs of Bovril. The only grinding he's heard of involves skateboarding, and XP is merely an emoticon for showing disgust.It would just get redundant if in every game that allowed you to play as Knuckles without other characters tagging along, that he has to go hunt for stuff.

Just because there hasn't been a gameplay involving treasure hunting, doesn't mean it's suddenly been ignored. With having adventures and platforming and all that crap, you have way more leniency as to what can happen. Treasure Hunting can't really be changed up. I didn't say the last time they mentioned it was 7 years ago, I said the last time he's done it was seven years ago.

Then they just shouldn't insert him into every game << They could at least make him reluctant to leave the master emerald. They could at least have Knuckles do what he's doing for a reason like in the Adventure games. Now he just tags along with Sonic all the time because he can.

Fights begin when you wander into on-screen foes (random battles have been consigned to the RPG cliché bin) Yes.

With having adventures and platforming and all that crap, you have way more leniency as to what can happen. Treasure Hunting can't really be changed up. Actually, one could argue that getting the Stars and Shine Sprites in the 3D Mario games is treasure hunting. They're treasures to the Castle/Delfino Plaza/Observatory, and you have to hunt them down from Bowser. Of course, I'm not saying that this is how treasure hunting should be for Knuckles' gameplay, but it's just an example of how different it can be. I mean, the whole games are revolved around doing such, rather than a third or even less of it, but again, it's just an example that it can be changed. I didn't say the last time they mentioned it was 7 years ago, I said the last time he's done it was seven years ago. That still doesn't mean anything. Sonic Chronicles is looking good. Lol @ the people on the Gamefaqs board thinking they were being serious with "Tails dying." >_>
