Perhaps, but Sonic Generations was mainly fanservice, it was an anniversary game that was purposely created to celebrate 20 years of Sonic, a contrast to other anniversary games. It could be argued that Generations made the classic designs canon and that Sonic and the other characters actually went through a change, but Episode Metal retconned it back showing Metal Sonic just after his defeat at Stardust Speedway in his classic design.
