>>120273002No, literally all we know is a tweet by (IIRC) Maekawa where he goes "early on these were the teams we were thinking", and the teams are so kinda random it's obvious there wasn't a plot or much intention into it yet, just them trying to see how they could bring back every Sonic character yet (except Shadow who was dead):
>Sonic, Tails, Knuckles>Amy, Cream, Rouge>Espio, Vector, Charmy>Big, Chaos, Gamma>Bean, Bark, Fang>Ray, Mighty, Metal SonicWe can speculate some stuff from here, but it's all just guesswork- only fact we know is the above list.
(Chaos and Gamma being here is likely the reason )why they're in Battle, the latter two teams were likely cut and forgotten since they're classic characters Sonic Team didn't care for, as opposed to Espio Vector and Charmy who're the more unique characters and whose designers likely were still in Sonic Team, when told to revive Shadow since he's popular it made more sense to move Rouge to his team and Gamma since he's Eggman-associated, but they remade Gamma into an expy to avoid reviving him, same reason Chaos is cut, that left a space in Team Rose they moved Big to
