According to [[Nob Ogasawara]], under his alias of ''Douglas Dinsdale'' (also ''Doug Dinsdale''), in a thread<ref>[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits.txt] (itself found [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/ here])</ref> apparently archived from the [http://forums.somethingawful.com/ Something Awful] forums and available at the ''[http://lparchive.org/ Let'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 "Rage {{wp|Dumpling}}" or, given the twelve-character limit at the time, "Rage {{wp|Bun}}". During the localization process, Ogasawara had suggested ''Cake of Rage'' as a possible English name,<ref>[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Woolseyism/VideoGames Woolseyism/Video Games - Television Tropes & Idioms]</ref> which would match the [[Lake of Rage]]. | According to [[Nob Ogasawara]], under his alias of ''Douglas Dinsdale'' (also ''Doug Dinsdale''), in a thread<ref>[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits.txt] (itself found [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/ here])</ref> apparently archived from the [http://forums.somethingawful.com/ Something Awful] forums and available at the ''[http://lparchive.org/ Let's Play Archive]'', the name ''Rage Candy Bar'' is a mistranslation that was decided by his handlers at Nintendo of America.
