EX. I don't quite understand why 4 Kids felt it was necessary to "Americanize" Pokemon by having the main characters eat "jelly donuts" when it is quite clear that they're eating rice balls-- they actually did this a lot, referring to Japanese noodles as spaghetti or calling other foods sandwiches. Do they think kids will be turned off or confused by Japanese foods?
The bizarre thing is they could have just made the dialogue vague like..."THIS FOOD IS SO GOOD!" but instead they decided to have the characters declare that they were eating donuts, which confused me as a kid. And the rice balls were a pretty important prop in the episode, as they served as a bait for Mankey. Shrugs.
