Sonic Shipping, Logically Speaking; EspioXMighty

Characters involved: Espio the Chameleon and Mighty the Armadillo.

Most well known nickname: Espighty...okay, I don't know.

Original date of ship: 1995.

Analysis of chemistry (aka why people do/don't ship it): So...yeah. This exists, and it's still relatively popular. They were in Knuckles Chaotix together, but meeting each other wasn't even necessary...and the game most likely isn't canon anyway...erm.

Well, they do have opposites attract, with Espio being the hothead and Mighty being the more pacifistic of the two. Not that it'd really work the modern Espio because he's not a hothead like that. Really, I think the main reason they were shipped in the past and have a bit of a following now is because of either Archie/Fleetway which played them as friendly rivals a bit, or because of the fact they were most popular Chaotix in the classic era and had the most titles of them all not called Knuckles (with 2 each). 

Then Heroes came along. You've seen how that went.

Personal Opinion: Neutral...I suppose. Not that it has much relevance in modern times.

Likelihood in the games: None, Mighty's dead. Not literally dead like Tikal and Maria are, but dead in an overall meta sense. He hasn't appeared since 1995, it's been confirmed that Sonic Team don't want to bring him or other such forgotten characters back, Knuckles Chaotix has effectively been knocked out of canon meaning that the one game they were in together is null and Espio likely doesn't even know Mighty exists thusly, let alone have any sort of opinion on him.
