Ahem.

Canon
The Resistance is a small group of characters we all know and love that still stand to oppose the Eggman Empire's domination of the world. However, There is a six month time gap between Sonic's defeat and capture, and the founding of the Resistance/The Resistance realizing that yeah, they need to fight without Sonic. Six whole months have gone unaccounted for.

Roleplay Changes
It'd be more likely that the Resistance would have officially come together after at most, one month. As a matter of fact, Eggman really shouldn't have conquered the world if he had only simply defeated Sonic. Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Even Amy or Team Chaotix would have been able to throw one or two wrenches in his plans. So what I'm thinking is that it'd make more sense if several more heroes were captured or scattered, over the course of these six months; thus making the battle lean more in Eggman's favor and leading the world to wind up the way it did.

As for the Resistance, I'm thinking that if they had gotten scattered, they might build up multiple factions of resistances across the world. This would give people an opportunity to start off in different locations before inevitably meeting up further into the story.
