My personal headcanon/guess is that Classic Sonic from Sonic '17 actually comes from Sonic Mania. Dr. Eggman may have changed history, replacing the Classic era of Sonic's life with that of Sonic Mania.

So it could be possible Classic Tails will return along with Classic Knuckles could be in Sonic '17 but I'd rather not speculate that far until more footage is shown.

As for Classic Amy is Sonic Mania, I'd support that idea. She may end up as a DLC or something. It should be more playable characters other than Classic/Modern Sonic instead of cheerleaders. It would work. In SOnic Mania, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are playable. I think Sega simply do not want to over satuate the game with too many characters while at the samt time not just be just Sonic. "omne trium perfectum". My suggestion is simply Classic Amy Rose can be a DLC or unlockable character with gameplay similar to how she was in Sonic Advance;.
