Pok\u00e9mon \u2013 both the games and the anime \u2013 have always featured food prominently. Moomoo milk, sodapops, slowpoke tails, and more recently curry mixes and sandwiches \u2013 there\u2019s no end to the edible and drinkable in the Pok\u00e9world.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve even covered Pok\u00e9food before on Nintendo Life, both reviewing Japan-exclusive actual<\/em> donuts<\/a> and ranking the \u2018mons we\u2019d find the tastiest<\/a>. Those ancient Pok\u00e9mon fans among us might even recall that during Ash, Brock, and Misty\u2019s early adventures, they often dined on what they called donuts. These white-and-black triangle-shaped pastries were actually rice balls \u2014 onigiri<\/em> \u2014 dubbed ‘donuts’ in the English version of the show as kids presumably wouldn\u2019t know onigiri from fried dough.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve now come full circle with Pok\u00e9 Ball onigiri released by 7-Eleven Japan to commemorate Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a>. Yes, these are real rice balls and not donuts, and we managed to snag one of each flavour before the noontime rush scooped them all up (onigiri sells out quickly no matter where in Japan you are).<\/p>\n

And much like we did with the Pok\u00e9mon donuts, we\u2019ve gone ahead and reviewed all three flavours: Pok\u00e9ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball.<\/p>\n
