Eggman is what newfags call him. Dr. Robotnik is the sinister villain from the original Sonic genesis era, Eggman is a dopey comic villain that belongs in a saturday morning cartoon.

Edited by Winter Soldier: 6/10/2013 9:27:18 AMHe's always been called Eggman in Japan. Learn to original. And besides, Dr. Eggman is a better name. What did Robotnik manage to do? Get his space station blow up like a gazillion times. What did Dr. Eggman manage to do? Destroy half the moon, crack open the world and create an amusement park in outer space.

Robotnik manages to enslave every sentient being on South Island other than Sonic, using them for slave labor. Then he manages to do it again on a larger scale in Sonic 2. Then he makes a floating island fall from the sky while creating the equivalent of the deathstar. All the while he is an actual threat with actual concrete goals. Dr. "Eggman" blows up half to moon, which is retarded since he is potentially ruining the planet he wishes to control, and everything he does in the modern era is equivalent of a bad cartoon villain. At least in the originals he had obtainable goals and the potential to complete them. And sure Eggman was his name in Japan, but the United States acknowledge that was a terrible name for American audiences so it was changed. Sonic initially had a girlfriend named Madonna (she was human and yes, she was a video game version of the singer Madonna) and played in a rock in roll band in his spare time. This was also changed. His design was altered as well because it looked too anime-ish for western audiences. I know how to original, but original ideas are not automatically the best. Things are often changed to make something better. Unfortunately, in the case of Robotnik to Eggman, this change was made to make the villain seem less threatening and more bufoonish to appeal to younger audiences. Sonic has declined, a lot from its original days. Basically every game post SA2 (other than Generations) has been terrible. The only reason Generations was good was because it went back to its roots. The name Eggman symbolizes the death of the quality of the sonic series. It is a bad name associated with bad games.

Its not nostalgia if its true. I loved the Sonic Adventures as a kid, and I even re-bought and played them both, and while I enjoyed it for nostalgia, the games are honestly pretty bad. SA1 is full of broken gameplay and 2, while better, still has a ton of awful robot levels which are terrible. After that you have Shadow which, while I like it, the game is regarded as bad by the general gaming community. Then the half finished Sonic 06, the Werehog Sonic Unleashed, the cutscene to blocky platforming of Sonic colors, and then Generations. Where exactly do I become a nostalgia tard in my argument? The originals were solid games which are still fun today, the newer games are bad. They have been slowly getting better, and I am really hopeful for New World, but the entire 2000-2010 period was shameful for Sonic, and this is common knowledge. It is also a fact that this 2000-2010 period was where the Eggman name was popularized. The two go hand in hand.

I knew I hated you.

Seriously though, he's been Eggman since Sonic 2.
-
He was Robotnik in Sonic 2, that was an unaltered design from the Japanese version where his name is eggman, and even then, "Eggman" on a ship does not make Robotnik Eggman. The captain of the Titanic's name was not "Titanic" nor was Captain Kirk known as Captain Enterprise.
