Well, his name originally always was Eggman. But for some reason in the US and other parts of the world his name was changed to Dr. Robotnik, and then they just eventually changed him back to his original name. I like both. It depends on my mood what I call him.
I actually have almost nothing to complain about when it comes to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I really loved that game, it's my favorite Sonic game of all time and I have a lot of memories with it. I thought the space levels were beautiful, amazing music. Something about an electric guitar and rock music to me really fits with Sonic (but that's probably because I absolutely love Crush 40 and rock music period) but I love the general feel that the game gave you.
...Although I will admit, I hated, hated, hated the rap music for Knuckles. But then again, naturally, I really can't stand rap. But at least Knuckles was smart in that game, he could at least fight people without acting like he was totally ridiculously uneducated and redneck.
Shadow... It's really hard to describe him to me. I like how through the whole thing his main focus was on Maria. He was the only one of his kind (the ARK people) left alive and I always got the feeling that he just didn't really feel like he should have been alive, because of the way he seemed to never really care about himself. All kinds of flashbacks of Maria, the willingness to die and destroy the entire planet to make her wish a reality, though she were dead... That was the beauty of Shadow. But what made him even more beautiful was the fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself, not for the planet as others thing, but for Maria. Because obviously it was Maria's voice Shadow heard before he died, and she was the last person he spoke to when he was dying. It was amazing. I thought that was perfect: The little ARK Saga was over, and all of the passengers on the Space Colony were finally dead after a long 50 years.
They really ****ed up the melancholy ending, didn't they?
I don't really like all the new characters, but they are what they are. Not only do the new characters suck, but I really hated Sonic Heroes with a passion. Shadow the Hedgehog, the game that is, was just as bad. I hated it so much. Sonic Unleashed wasn't THAT bad, but what got on my nerves was the fact that he could only move left and right in the day stages. The night stages were pretty fun though. I disliked Secret Rings for the storyline, and the fact that Sonic continuously runs forward and can not be stopped without ****ing items... And Black Knight wasn't absolutely OUTRAGEOUSLY horrendous, but it definitely wasn't the best.
I think Sonic Advance was a fun one. But the ones afterward... Eh. My sis did love Sonic Rush and Sonic '06 though... The storyline from those two aren't that bad.
((XD Funny comic thing, btw.))
