[QUOTE="Zonerunner, post: 206064"] In Japan, he's always been called Dr. Eggman. No one is entirely sure why, but for the Western localisation, he was renamed Dr. Robotnik (side note: within the Japanese continuity, the games have always been set on Earth, whereas the original ***les in the West were set on Mobius). As of Sonic Adventure, Sega attempted to retcon this by having everyone but Robotnik call him "Egg Man". However, as of Sonic Adventure 2, Robotnik is officially recognised as his family name whereas Eggman is his self-appointed ***le for ruling the world under, even in the Japanese continuity. It is, essentially, a way of making it so either name is correct. Yes, I know. I know way too much useless video game trivia. [/QUOTE]
