A '''rice ball''' (Japanese: ''[[wp:onigiri|onigiri]]'') is a snack that appears in the [[Pokémon anime]] many times and, in the dub, under a variety of different names. [[Brock]] makes them fairly often, and they are frequently used in gags. | A '''rice ball''' (Japanese: ''[[wp:onigiri|onigiri]]'') is a snack that appears in the [[Pokémon anime]] many times and, in the dub, under a variety of different names.

To give the snack a name which American children would be more familiar with, the dub has referred to them as such things as jelly donuts and popcorn balls.
