The Sonichu Chronicles
The Sonichu Chronicles is a PowerPoint presentation put together by Christian Weston Chandler and submitted to Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aimé as a proposal for the creation of a series of Sonichu-related video games. It mostly describes the history and successes of the Sonichu franchise and doesn't particularly get around to proposing much beyond the titles of the games.
Notes
- Chris explains in the presentation that Sonichu's name is not a portmanteau of "Sonic" and "Pikachu," but rather a variation of Sonic's Japanese name, "Sonikku za Hejjihoggu".
- He characterizes Sonichu as a parody of Sonic, and proceeds to use the word "parody" as if it means "characteristic which makes one thing not like another thing".
- In a pre-emptive deflection of any criticism, he lists all the ways in which Rosechu is totally different from Amy Rose. There are only about seven. Two of them are just that they wear different cltothes.
- Perhaps for the first time, Chris lays out the evolution of the Sonichu and Rosechu species, explaining that Sonichu can evolve into Metonic and Rosechu can evolve into Vamprosa. Vamprosa bears a strong resemblance to Rosechu during her rampage against Jason Kendrick Howell in Sonichu #8.
- Chris cites Blake as an indication that some bad guys are more than they appear, indicating that other villains may reform.
- In a collage of images purporting to be characters he created, Chris includes Megagi, Simonla, and Jiggliami, who were created by other people. He also includes Bagget and Blanca, and Mary Lee Walsh, who are other people.
- CWCville, Virginia, is situated near a forest, a beach, mountains, and a volcano.
- In 2009 Chris is still hanging his hat on the two HTML classes he took years ago, which taught him how to use Netscape Composer.
- Chris explains how his Sonichu medallion gives him super powers in the comics. He then explains that the medallion he wears in real life gives him no super powers.
- He includes in the PowerPoint a hand-drawn mockup of a Nintendo Power cover, and tells Nintendo that they "may" use it for the issue that eventually covers the release of the game.
- Since Chris has wanted his own video game for over a decade, he explains that the games he thought up were all intended for GameCube and Game Boy Advance; he grants Nintendo permission to upgrade these ideas to their current consoles. He insists upon allowing Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles to be multi-platform so it can be available on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. It should be noted that this is the only slide of the presentation that actually discusses about producing video games, rather than discussing Christian.
- Chris argues that Nintendo will save money on voice acting, since he would portray both himself and Sonichu while PandaHalo would play Rosechu. No word on negotiations to secure new narrator as Mary Lee Walsh.
- He gives his PlayStation Network ID number in the presentation, just in case the Senior Managing Director of Nintendo ever feels like playing Resistance: Fall of Man with Chris.
Reaction from Nintendo
Upon receiving the Sonichu Chronicles, Reggie Fils-Aimé was outraged that one of the first images in the presentation showed an upskirt view of Rosechu, allowing the viewer to see her cameltoe. Fils-Aimé immediately canceled the project, noting that Nintendo is in the business of producing all-ages software. Christian blew this issue out of proportion somehow concluding that Fils-Aimé was objecting to nudity and heterosexual romance, and from there deciding that Fils-Aimé is a chain-smoking, alcoholic homosexual prude.
