Here's what they need to do:

1. Sega/Sammy needs to stop rushing Sonic Team to get the games done. Let them take their time and get all the bugs out.

2. Go back to having the games be focused on speed. No treasure hunting or shooting stages. All normal enemies should be defeated with just one hit, and you shouldn't have to kill an enemy or stop and break some boxes to get past a certain part of a stage, like you had to in Sonic Heroes. The point of the stages should be just to get to the end, like in the old days.

3. Get rid of the 4Kids voice actors.

4. Stop making new characters. There are already plenty of them.

And Thorn sort of covered this, but yeah, Eggman is his actual name. I'm all for Actual Names instead of this random American stuff.

Actually, Robotnik was his real name, but in Sonic Adventure, Sonic dissed Robotnik by calling him "Eggman" and it practically picked up from there.

In Japan, his name was always Eggman.

Robotnik sounds a lot cooler than Eggman

Chock full of misinformation is right.

Sonic Adventure 2 canonized both names anyway, so there's no point in changing his name at all. I prefer to call him "Eggman Robotnik", just to annoy/confuse people.

Well, whatever you call him, I'd just like to say that his art for the first Sonic games easily made him one of the ugliest people I've ever seen.

If you're referring to the American art, then yes, he was quite ugly indeed.

What was the Japanese art?

Japanese:

American:

I think the Japanese art makes him look more benevolent than an evil scientist intent on world domination should. The American art makes him look ugly and evil, which seems about right.

Either way he looks like Bizarro World Teddy Rosevelt.

That's the description I was looking for (either that, or bloated Lorax).
