I downloaded the original uploaded RAR containing that memo (before it was resized) and other documents, and I recall not being able to make out what it said there even then (not that I tried very hard to). So naturally, I promptly deleted it off my hard drive. Going back to look again, it would appear that the link Dean provided expired, as he warned.

As for your other question:

the game was in development, I added creative support at that time. if "worked on sonic" means "named a few characters... suggested ideas" then I worked on sonic. but, all I did was name some of the US characters... "working" on a game to me means actually making one, sharing in its success. that did not happen as it relates to sonic. I didnt get to do that until some time later. my history at sega at that time was suggesting ideas to anyone that would listen. many ideas, suggestion were turned down others used.

as far as the change, its as if someone held up an object and said "what do you call this"? ... meaning I didnt create the object... I just named it. I found the list someone else asked about - other names that I suggested that were rejected. other robotnik names were, doctor X, Doctor Gloom, Dr. What.

the producers call the shots. I was a lowly game councilor, after I finished saying "call the ladybug with one wheel a motobug, psycho cycle, put butt, or wheely bug"..then id go back to where I was supposed to be. now days you will not find much interdepartmental back and forth - they keep this sort of stuff from happening by keeping employee types together. testers and other lower positions just don't mingle with producers like they used to back in the day.

I found a list of "nicknames" for robotnik/names that sonic could call him that I suggested:

mister badwrench
mr. bad year
fatty lobotnik
