Well, yes, and he can also talk in the Sonic movie from 1996. The thing is, that it's not clear which TV Shows could be considered actually canon to the Sonic series. Some fans consider that none of the TV shows are canon to the games, while others might consider a couple of them to be canon. But for example, we wouldn't consider Sonic Underground as canon to the games, for example. I like to think of the TV shows as alternate realities of the Sonic timeline. That's why Classic Sonic would speak in the cartoons, but not in the games. That would also explain why several characters from different  sonic TV shows don't appear in Sonic Games, like some of the Freedom Fighters from that other Sonic TV show, or his brother and sister from Sonic Underground. Of course, the alternate reality thing is mostly a headcanon, but if it were up to me, I'd have the characters to be exactly as they show up in the games, for those are what everyone can agree that are canon.

Wow, that went a bit long.
