That died after Unleashed/Black Knight.
Though, for me, the real end of the Sonic I grew up with is Advance 3, cause I didn't play those above games, and even at that age I was really weirded out by everyone's voices being replaced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28jdAJZUVPA&t=352s

Not that there aren't cool games coming out sometimes, but I just consider everything past that point to be something else entirely, not made for me anymore. Easier that way.
