Remember that Sonic was announced right before E for All, and was included in the demo at the last minute because of the fan's requests. They may or may not have had time to do all of the color changes that will be in the final game, or they may or may not WANT us to see all of the color variations for all of the characters.
It just doesn't make sense to have a slightly off blue hedgehog with red shoes being on the red team... You just wouldn't be able to tell them apart very readily in a 2 vs 2 of red vs blue.
Have you ever played a 2 vs 2 red vs blue with mario being on the blue team? You mistake him for a red team member all the time.
Pikachu works with the color change because his original fur color is not one of the standard red, blue, or green colors. He can get away with changed just his hat.
I think/hope that when the game finally launches, we will find out that Sonic's fur actually changes colors to Green, Red or Blue, and I hope he has two color palette swaps to make him look like Shadow and another to make him look like Silver. Total mapping for Shadow's and Silver's spikes wouldn't be necessary, just a simple color change to make Sonic black with red streaks, and silver with white streaks.
