Just thought I'd say thinking on it Tails being a female from the start would have probably been one of the few things to work out for the Sonic Series.
He(she?)'d be a nice contrast to Amy, best friends with Sonic instead of head over heels about him. Smart instead of doing the teenage airhead thing. Resourceful and always helping Sonic instead of getting kidnapped or getting in the way.
Doing her own thing instead of always chasing Sonic. It just keeps piling on. Acknowledged and respected by Eggman as well as Sonic instead of just there as another background character and ultimately one of the few characters to be developed.
Female Tails might have even been a role model for girls, at least compared to characters like Amy and Rouge. Sonic Team really missed out on an opportunity.
