| "Dr. Eggman" has always been his name in Japan; "Dr. Robotnik" was an invention of the English localization. Since Sonic Adventure 2 however Sega has attempted to reconcile the two by referring to him with the title "Eggman" in both languages, while "Robotnik" is now used as his real family name (as his grandfather Gerald and cousin Maria both share it). Given this, both names are entirely proper ways to refer to the good doctor.
If you're going to ignorantly insult a sizable portion of the fanbase, please at least take the time to do your research first. |
