Name
InGeneration II, theitem's name is renderedRagecandybar in all caps (like all items) and with no spaces.
InPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, where it is only mentioned in dialogue and does not appear as an item, its name is rendered "Rage Candybar". InPokémon Platinum, where it likewise is only mentioned in dialogue, its name is rendered as "Rage Candy Bar".
InPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and in allGeneration V games, where it once again appears as an item, its name is rendered as "RageCandyBar", spelled inCamelCase due to the 12-character limit and capitalization of item names.
FromGeneration VI onward, due to the increased character limit, its name is rendered as "Rage Candy Bar" with spaces.
Origin
The Rage Candy Bar is based on the Japanesemanjū, a type of bun stuffed with sweet filling. Manjū are sold in Japan asconfectionery, and are often unique to certain places (much as the Rage Candy Bar is toMahogany Town). The item was renamed as acandy bar in translation to be more familiar to English-speaking players; its in-Bag sprite depicts it in a small box, which could pass for a candy bar wrapper, preventing revelation of the translation discrepancy.
Etymology
According toNob Ogasawara, under his alias ofDouglas Dinsdale (alsoDoug Dinsdale), in a thread[1] apparently archived from theSomething Awful forums and available at theLet's Play Archive, the name "Rage Candy Bar" is a mistranslation that was decided by his handlers at Nintendo of America. He claims that the correct translation of いかりまんじゅう is "RageDumpling" or, given the twelve-character limit at the time, "RageBun".
Trivia
- Though theitem does not exist in the internal data of theGeneration III andSinnoh-basedGeneration IV games, it is mentioned in those games:
- InPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it is mentioned by anNPC inthe town onTwo Island, who claims that is the favorite delicacy ofBruno of theElite Four, who left the island in disappointment when he discovered that the local shop was sold out of them.
- InPokémon Platinum, it is supposed to be sold atVeilstone Department Store's basement, but the vendor selling them always says they're sold out of them. They are also said to be favored byProfessor Rowan, who can occasionally be found in the Department Store basement, sulking about the fact that the store has run out of them. An NPC in the basement claims to be the one who has bought all the available Rage Candy Bars.
