The actual jumping the shark moment was Sonic Team thinking that Shadow the Hedgehog was a character that needed to exist.

Amy's panty shots were the downfall of Sonic. It became a furry game then.

Or worse, a game that needed to exist.

He was always Eggman in Japan. Sega America's localization team decided to change the tune of the series by redrawing Eggman to be a bit more menacing-looking and renamed him to Robotnik. It was later retconned to say that Ivo Robotnik was always his true name and Eggman is just a nickname that Sonic gave him that stuck. Hence he is known today as Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.

I kind of get it what they were going with in Sonic Adventure 2, and Team Dark's ending in Sonic Heroes is cool, but once he got his own game.... ehh...
