Best Answer

The character of Robotnik/Eggman was created by SEGA in 1990. When the character was shipped over to the U.S along with the first Sonic game in 1991, SEGA of America decided to officially make his name Dr. Ivo Robotnik, because it sounds better. He stayed Dr. Eggman in Japan. By 1998, SEGA had decided to revert his name to Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik worldwide, for unknown reasons.

Why does Robotnik call himself Eggman in the newer Sonic games I can understand the other characters calling him that but Robotnik himself?

Doctor Eggman was his original name, in the Japanese version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Robotnik was his name for english-speaking countries. Yuji Naka has explained that 'Robotnik' is his real name, and Doctor Eggman is an alias that he goes by, so it's not an insulting nickname other characters have for him, it's something he himself uses, and he uses 'egg' for the names of some of his machines, such as the Death Egg and Egg Emperor.

How do you beat Doctor Eggman in Ice Paradise in Ultimate Flash Sonic?

Sonic has the powers of supersonic speed, extreme reflexes and quite a bit of strength. Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik has the powers of extreme intelligence (IQ of 300) and ingenuity. So far, they seem evenly matched. They also have equal willpower. Sonic will never give up trying to accomplish something when he sets his mind to it, but neither will the Doctor. The only real advantage Sonic has over Eggman is while the Doctors willpower is based on villainous motives, Sonic's is based on heroic ones.
