shamanicshayminAnybody think name wank is as stupid as I do? Old*Sk00l fans, whine as much as you can about how saying the name "Eggman" is like a wizard saying "You-Know-Who Voldemort". I hate to tell ya the truth about Robotnik, but...
When the very first Sonic game came out in Japan, Sonic's nemesis was known as "Eggman".
Only when SA2 came out did they fuse the names, and he became Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.
Let's break it up this way, shall we?
Anything Pre-Dreamcast (AoStH/SatAM/SU/etc.) = Robotnik
Anything Post-Dreamcast (SA1+2, Sonic Rush, etc.) = Eggman. Robotnik works here too, but is usually to Pre-Dreamcast.
Should you need to distinguish between say... Robotnik and Eggman, say Julian or Kintobor and people will know who you're talking about. Overall, the Robotniks in each universe are just as distinct as their Sonics they're trying to squash. So STFU
Gaaaaaaaaawd. @.@;;; Reminds me of the Light vs. Raito wank over at Death Note fandom. They're the same thing WTF
Anyway, going on a short trip to Austin. I got diagnosed with a new medicine, so hopefully I'll be less wanky.
