I'm saying when they returned in Heroes, they were considered as brand new characters by Sonic Team, as opposed to being returning characters. While I completely understand what you're saying, I do feel as dumbfounded as Alexj98 on the fact Sonic Team completely glossed over Knuckles' Chaotix to regard Chaotix as modern. It wasn't an outstanding game but it wasn't terrible.

Whatever Sonic Team may say, the fandom will always regard Chaotix as classic Modern characters.
