Peach was never Toadstool in Japan

Aeris/Aerith is an issue when it comes to how Japanese is pronounced

Clowns will cry and scream and say that it's Aeris because that's how it was originally localized, and then in the same breath say they want to sniff Princess Peach's butthole.

Exact same situation that Sega ran into with Eggman/Robotnik: dumb localization decision that the English translators eventually reversed course on in favor of the original name used in Japan.

They didn't completely reverse. They started using both Eggman AND Robotnik. Play the Sonic Adventure games.

I've been going by the original names lately, so Pocket Monster.

Also, in the original language, they're not Pokballs, or even Pocket Balls, they're Monster Balls.

She was Toadstool in SMRPG, so i'm used to that. She's Peach pretty much everywhere else now.

Again, original language trumps all. Besides, in this case, who would want "Fire 3"?

Have you not played Sonic Generations? No one calls him Robotnik anymore: now it's just Eggman of the Past and Eggman of the Future.

Wait why did they change the name from Peach to Toadstool. Peach is more of an American name.

Nothing localizers do makes any sense.

When the game was originally developed in Japan, they called the character Eggman. That was the name of the character, but when the game got localized and ported into the Sonic the Hedgehog that we know in the West, they decided to, without confirming with the development team, change his name to Ivo Robotnik or just Robotnik. Thats kind of when everyone first learned about the character. Of course, this was without consulting the people who made the game. They just kind of went off and did it. It became super popular and everyone in the West kind of learned about the character as Robotnik. That went on through the classic series in the Genesis/Mega Drive era, but as far as the developers are concerned the ones who made the character and the leaders of what this character is doing next we really didnt want to have anyone in the universe with two names. To us, hes Eggman, but in the rest of the world hes called Robotnik. We wanted to unify that into one name moving forward. This is something I actually did in the Sonic Adventure series. I made it so that we understand the characters name is Robotnik, but his nickname is Eggman, and as far as everyone is concerned in the world now, were just going to call him Eggman as his official name.
(Whoops, didn't mean to post this yet.)
Sega of America did an amazing job covering for Japan's fuck ups and they deserve a ton of credit for Sega's popularity outside of Japan.
Also, Robotnik is a genius name. A slavic suffix on a slavic word that's become global lexicon that plays on the role of the worker and machine.

A toadstool is a kind of mushroom, and she's the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. They probably felt it made more sense/was more regal to the general audience than just calling her "Peach" (the name of a fruit).
