Both look best for their medium. I don't really like the adventure style sprites in the advance games, and I hate 'classic sonic' whenever he shows up in new games. Both were handcrafted for their respective games, and using them elsewhere always looks off.

Original. I cannot say why, but the 2000s design always bothered me. Maybe it's because of Sonic X, but I'm not sure.
I also cannot say I enjoy Sonic's personality in modern games.

Yes because of one simple fact. He can open his mouth and actually emote without looking like a complete freak.

Classic > Paramount >>>>>> Adventure onwards Edgy Looney Tunes OC which all suffer from this glaring issue

Classic, but it's fucking bizarre that they make Classic sonic mute even on 3D games. Though I'm not sure I 100% like Sonic from the OVA, at least that was something.

For the most part they're just reusing assets. The better question is why they don't reuse/mix in some assets from the spinoff racing games instead of relying on the same Generations environments over and over again. Frontiers could have used some of the environment assets made for Team Sonic Racing in its cyberspace stages, for example.

There was a reason they moved away from this. The harmony stuff veers too far away from the cool aspect of Sonic. It looks as gay and sanitized as Sonic is nowadays but people defend it because its from the 1990s

Classic Amy is cute but I really hate how messy her color scheme is. Classic characters all have very simple color schemes that stay within 3-4 colors max. Hell even Shadow follows this too. But Classic Amy has pink, green, orange, blue, white, red. Total mess. For me, this design she has for a Mario 64 mod is much better and absolute peak.
