Is silver the hedgehog the son of shadow the hedgehog

No. Shadow was created by Dr. Gerald. They're not realated.

Regarding the previous answer, so what? Shadow is a living being, who can probably produce offspring. And to anyone who says that he can't be his father because Silver comes from, I think 200 years in the future I wouldn't know exactly I haven't played 06; Shadow is immortal thanks to Black Doom(I think that's his name)'s genes. And as for those who say he can't be because Shadow is mostly black and Silver is white, we're talking about a fictionality with anthropomorphic animals who can talk perfect english, pull huge hammers out of thin air, control fire and move stuff with their minds, move at the speed of sound and sometimes light and the case of Hyper Sonic, warp speeds (only thing faster than light), a man who has an IQ of 300 and defies physics with that huge torso and those thin as all hell legs, robots that use animals as batteries, devices that turn said anthropomorphic animals into robots and seven differently coloured emeralds about the size of a baseball give or take which have enough power in them to transport living things through dimensions, time travel, turn previously mentioned anthropomorphic animals yellow and inhance their abilities by a frick ton, and a massive version of one of those emeralds that can keep a reasonably sized island floating in the air, just by being on it. Now if all this can happen, im pretty sure an artificially created immortal anthropomorphic hedgehog can father a white one, who to me, doesn't resemble a hedgehog, whatsoever.
