Knuckles' treasure hunting isn't inherantly a bad idea, at the most it's at odds with his "guardian of the Master Emerald" status, like how could he be the world's greatest treasure hunter when he's been guarding a hunk of rock his whole life? It's not impossible, it's just weird.
For the longest time I've bemoaned the fact Knuckles just isn't given anything that really suits him to do. For the most part you could swap him out with just about anybody else and nothing would change from doing so. Wether he's guarding the Master Emerald or not, it feels as if they're just not utilizing Knuckles in a way that actually makes use of who and what he is, and this hasn't been the case since Sonic Adventure 2. (I maintain my belief he really didn't need to be in Sonic 2006, he's the most arbitrary character in the story.)
I do feel to some degree Penders can be blamed for Knuckles falling behind in priority, in more ways than one, but I feel a capable mind would have been able to figure out how to make good use of him, as opposed to what IDW has been doing with him. Even his role in Frontiers felt forced and unnecessary, which it seriously SHOULDN'T have because it could have circled back around to the history with the Echidnas and the Chaos/Master Emerald.
