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. Classic and modern Metal Sonic both look the same (not counting Neo Metal Sonic).

Anyway, because of this scene and the modern-looking character designs of Sonic and Tails, it seems that Sonic 4 would take place between the classic games and before the modern games. wasn't that confirmed already? anyway, it's pretty obvious (to me at least) that sonic team or dimps or whoever developed sonic 4 doesn't really care about the continuity so even if classic and modern sonic DID have any real differences, it would be best to take it with a grain of salt because it would mean that they unintentionally retconned then classic characters out of existence. and this just occurred to me but what if modern metal sonic is one of his forms like neo metal sonic? just a thought
