Rage Candy Bar: Difference between revisions

The '''Rage Candy Bar''' (Japanese: '''いかりまんじゅう''' ''Rage {{wp|Manjū}}'') is an [[item]] originally exclusive to the [[Generation II]] games and reimplemented in every game since {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It has also been mentioned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as well as in {{game|Platinum}}.

 

While it is obtained as a [[key item]] in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Rage Candy Bar is still required to be bought for {{PDollar}}300. Due to this, it is thus far the only key item available for purchase.

===Generation II===

The Rage Candy Bar first appeared in [[Generation II]]. It is a local specialty of [[Mahogany Town]], in the same vein as the [[Lavaridge Town]]'s {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} is in later [[generation]]s. The first place in which the [[item]] can be bought is from a salesman blocking the way out of Mahogany Town (who is there to prevent the {{player}} from skipping the [[Lake of Rage]] and [[Team Rocket HQ|Rocket Hideout]] events of the plot); he sells these for {{PDollar}}300. Once the [[Red Gyarados]] has been captured or defeated, he stops selling the item. The Rage Candy Bar remains unavailable until the {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}} have been defeated at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]. After this, it can be purchased from the [[Mahogany Town]] {{DL|Mahogany Town|Souvenir Shop}} for the same price.

In these games, the Rage Candy Bar acts like a {{DL|Potion|Potion}} by healing 20 {{stat|HP}}.

===Generations III and IV===

====FireRed, LeafGreen, and Platinum====

====HeartGold and SoulSilver====

The Rage Candy Bar reappears as an [[item]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is available in [[Mahogany Town]] only, like in [[Generation II]], but this time around it is a [[key item]]. This prevents the {{player}} from [[Trade|trading]] it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where data for the item does not exist. The Rage Candy Bar is not a healing item in these games; instead, it is a key item that may be exchanged with a [[Non-player character|NPC]] in the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] on {{rt|5|Kanto|Routes 5}} and {{rt|6|Kanto|6}} for {{TM|64|Explosion}}.

 

Unlike in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (and {{game|Crystal}}), the man blocking the way east of Mahogany Town will still sell the Rage Candy Bar for {{PDollar}}300 after the [[Team Rocket]] invasion is foiled instead of the {{DL|Mahogany Town|Souvenir Shop}} lady. Despite this, he will refuse to sell more than one.

The Rage Candy Bar makes its return as a regular [[item]] in [[Generation V]] and works in the same way as in [[Generation II]], healing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{stat|HP}} by 20.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, it is first obtainable in the house in the southeast corner of [[Icirrus City]] during the {{DL|Seasons|winter}}, where the wife of the former {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} that stole the {{key|IV|Machine Part}} from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] gives it as a gift saying that Rage Candy Bars hold the family together. Another one can be obtained from {{prof|Juniper}} in [[Desert Resort]] after defeating [[Team Plasma]] and [[Ghetsis]] at [[N's Castle]].

The Rage Candy Bar can be used on one of the five {{p|Darmanitan}} "statues" outside the [[Relic Castle]]. Consumed on use, each Darmanitan will be at [[level]] 35 with the [[Ability]] {{a|Zen Mode}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, the {{player}} can get four Rage Candy Bars at [[Pokéstar Studios]] after recording a movie with a good ending, each from a {{tc|Smasher}}, {{tc|Ace Trainer}}, {{tc|Madame|Socialite}}, and a young boy in red. Others can be purchased at [[Join Avenue]] {{DL|Join Avenue|Market}}s.

In all Generation V games, Rage Candy Bars are also obtained by defeating all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Royal Unova]] on {{DL|Days of the week|Saturday}}s and a {{tc|Maid}} on {{rt|5|Unova}} will pay {{PDollar}}6000 for a Rage Candy Bar.

In {{g|X and Y}}, the Rage Candy Bar reappears in the same vein as in [[Generation V]] and can be found in random hotels.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Rage Candy Bar can sometimes be given by a fan after winning a Master Rank {{g|Contest}}. Two Rage Candy Bars can also be found at the [[Trick House]] during Puzzle 2.

===Spelling differences between generations===

Since the character limit was bumped in [[Generation VI]], the item's name is now rendered correctly as "Rage Candy Bar".

 

 

In ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', while on his way to the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], {{adv|Gold}} was seen eating some Rage Candy Bars that he had recently purchased. He also threw one into [[Whitney]]'s mouth, almost causing her to choke. Gold [[PS444|later]] gave a Rage Candy Bar to [[Bruno]], who immediately fell in love with its delicious taste. In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Whitney, who was shown to have a crush on Bruno, was seen sending the [[Elite Four]] member a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his pleasure.

The Rage Candy Bar is based on the Japanese {{wp|manjū}}, a type of pounded rice cake. Manjū are sold in Japan as {{wp|confectionery}}, and are often unique to certain places (much as the Rage Candy Bar is to [[Mahogany Town]]). A direct translation would thus prove confusing for English-speaking {{player}}s, providing reasoning behind naming it as a {{wp|Chocolate bar|candy bar}}. Its in-[[Bag]] sprite depicts it in a small box, which could pass for a candy bar wrapper, preventing revelation of the translation issue.

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}}". The name ''Cake of Rage'' was also suggested by him for the English localization<ref>[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Woolseyism/VideoGames Woolseyism/Video Games - Television Tropes & Idioms]</ref>, which would match the [[Lake of Rage]].
