(As for the Julian Kintobor name, it was just Robotnik spelled backwards.įun Fact: After it's reboot, the Archie Sonic comics used the name "Julian" for Snively of all things, making his name Dr.By William D'Angelo, posted on 11 August 2017 / 9,559 Views (Thus he can be called "Robotnik" or "Eggman", as both names apply) His name would be Eggman, but his family name would be Robotnik (as seen with Gerald). so they reached a compromise with the two names for the Doctor: Sega admitted they knew about the Robotnik name the West used (and did kinda like it), but wanted to use the Japanese name in the West. Sonic Mania music that has been extended to play for at least 15.5 minutes.Composer(s): Tee LopesArranger(s): Tee LopesDeveloper(s): Headcannon, PagodaWest G. To answer your question: in the Japanese version of Sonic Adventure 2, Gerald was referred to the same as in the English version: "Professor Gerald Robotnik" Now the one thing that personally never made any sense to me was the Julian Kintobor name that Eggman was called in Britain's version of Sonic Gerald Robotnik and Eggman claimed he was his Grandfather which would make one assume that Robotnik is Eggman's last name and his first name is Ivo.what did the Japanese dubbing call Gerald Robotnik in Sonic Adventure 2? Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik got his hands on some new type of mysterious gem and now hes gone a bit deranged. I mean even in Sonic Adventure 2 we learned of Dr. While he is known as Eggman, technically that's his nickname. In Sonic Adventure 1/DX, Eggman referred to himself as Dr. It was in Sonic Adventure 2 where the name Eggman was predominantly used. Originally posted by GuyroMaster:That's only partly true though. It was probably just too much work to keep up the localization differences for no real payoff on what was already an extremely successful and established brand in the west with multiple TV shows, multiple comics, a float that had led the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, etc. They'd need to alter the "puzzle" in this image because it would make absolutely no sense if left untouched. Maybe they could get away with the Death Egg by itself, and the odd Crystal Egg Zone or whatever in the 8-bit games, but when every single little thing related to "Robotnik" has Egg in the name and is shown on screen, people would really start to wonder what's up. He was retconned to Eggman around the time of Sonic Adventure because there was no reason for him to be called Robotnik.It's a bit more than just that.Īdventure was the point where they would have had to start changing a ton of in-game content to continue hiding that Eggman's name was Eggman.Įggman bosses and the Egg Carrier might need to be renamed. "Robotnik's" staying power is ridiculous. Even now, two decades since Adventure, people still whine about the name change and think Robotnik was cooler.Įven some people under 20 who weren't alive when the change was made feel this way. In the west he was renamed Dr Robotnik because he could be.īut again, he was always Eggman in Japan, we just got Robotnik because reasons.The reason is most likely that they thought the west would find the name Robotnik more appealing and be more likely to buy the games and merchandise and such.
