English version of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution references infamous "Brock's jelly donuts" 4Kids dub decision

A tongue-in-cheek nod

Back in the early days of the Pokemon anime, 4Kids went out of their way to "westernize" various parts of the show. That included changing a line about rice balls to jelly donuts. The only problem is that Brock clearly isn't holding jelly donuts in the scene. You can see the whole strange decision play out in the clip above.

All these years later, the team behind the localization of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution have decided to pay tribute to that baffling decision with a bit of a joke. Check out the clip below to see what we mean.

Thanks to Lars for the heads up!
