<\/blockquote>\nAs you can see in the photographs, the Pok\u00e9ball design consists of the outer plastic wrapping only. Beneath, the spherical onigiri loosely resembles what we used to catch our first Caterpies and Weedles. Still, the colour of the pork and the dark band of seaweed invoke the image of a Pok\u00e9 Ball. As seen in the cross-section, the chefs at 7-Eleven sandwiched a dollop of mayonnaise between the rice and meat.<\/p>\n
Before we bit in, we questioned where this pork came from. With Scarlet and Violet\u2019s release, perhaps this sausage was made from a Lechonk, or maybe the chefs pulled from Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s past to fillet a different pig-themed Pok\u00e9mon such as Tepig. They neglected to specify which Pok\u00e9mon we\u2019re feasting on, though we\u2019re sure they all taste somewhat the same anyway.<\/p>\n
Of all three balls, this was the hardest to eat. Immediately after taking a bite, the sausage slab slid off the rice and we were forced to eat them separately as if it were an unfinished Lechonk fried rice dish. That said, the Lechonk slice was quite tasty, if a little salty, despite the onigiri costing only 172 yen from a convenience store. The band of seaweed, or nori<\/em>, and the rice itself we enjoyed as they were quite fresh.<\/p>\nHowever, as we admittedly do not like Japanese mayonnaise, the little blob in the middle turned us off the whole package. It overpowered any hint of garlic like a Dragonite using Hyper Beam on a Pidgey, leaving us overall disappointed with the original Pok\u00e9 Ball.<\/p>\n
