It is a hard one to explain. To be honest, classic and Modern have become their Own things now with Forces rectonning Sonic Generations so that they were alternate counterparts instead of being from different time periods. However, it has not been confirmed that Modern Sonic has “lost” his past from the classic games, nor would it make sense since Modern Sonic showet familiarity with the locations in Generations (you cant just go on rekord and say that those scenes did not happen).

What is most likely is that past elements has been sealed by Sonic Team so that Modern Sonic cant touch it, like how the Archie Comics could not use certain characters anymore prior to the reboot (we knew they were still there, but they were never going to reappear).

This May be wishful thinking, but officially, there has been no statement saying that Modern Sonic has not been through the classic games (this would be a bad move Anyhow for Sonic Team since so much World building was made in those games)
