Rice ball

Rice balls are a type of Japanese snack from the real world that has appeared in some Pokémon media, especially original Japanese dubs of . Since they are not widely known to English speakers, rice balls are often changed to a different snack in Pokémon releases in other regions.
Rice balls have a few roles in "TB025: Primeape Goes Bananas." There is an infamous line from Brock in the English dub where he refers to rice balls as "jelly-filled donuts," but the frames were not edited to reflect this. Brock's line became an Internet meme years later, something that has been officially referenced a few times. In a different part of the episode, Ash accidentally captures a rice ball in a Poké Ball.
The only Pokémon game with rice balls is Japanese versions of Hey You, Pikachu!, in which it is one of the food items that Pikachu can eat. In other versions, it is a cupcake instead.
