I actually like Mephiles over Silver, purely because there's a reason behind him being a Hedgehog, which he ain't by the way, since he's a living shadow. I like the irony that he's Shadow's shadow.
Silver could have been a decent character if they hadn't milked the Hedgehog surname so much. Sonic makes sense as a hedgehog since he can curl himself up like one (strangely now everyone can!), but Silver is just a floaty, psychic character with Hedgehog slapped on. It feels... unnatural.
Shadow I can accept. His background is deep and solid, and his character is more complex than just 'Emo Sonic'. Still weird that he looks like Sonic, dispite the fact that he is an alien experiment. Hey, his design is better than just slapping a pair of shades and a jacket on a green Sonic, amirite?
