A bicolor ball will always seem more natural than a cake, an ice cream or a mecha.
And same goes for a pile of sludge.

The only Pokemon that really scream "man-made" in Gen 1 are Magnemite line and Porygon. And they deserve to be hated.

Except that was a icicle that LOOKED like ice cream.

That's literally a cake.
How does it function, how does it fight?
If it's literally cake anybody could rip it in half, it isn't suited to battle.

They could've made something where its like a big dress thats shaped like a cake.
Look at that its literally gooping all over the floor.
Do they eat her? How much of her can you eat before it hurts her? Where is all of the cake coming from? If you supersize her and eat a ton of it, then she shrinks back at the end of the battle, and then you supersize her again, would the part you ate still be gone?

Its pollution made into a living creature, much like Koffing. Even the Dex mentions that they tend to gather in filthy/dirty towns and have been on the decline (and potentially risk extinction) due to better practices being put into reducing pollution.

If anything, it says a lot about Kanto being pretty bad with pollution in the past.

Guys, it's a brownie (european fairy) that produces icing. It's fairy type for a reason. It's a pun. Then you juice it up and it becomes a towering nightmare because it produces shitloads of cream, layer after layer. That's why it's on top like a wedding decoration and it explains the cake look. There. Now tear my explanation apart.

You act as if the Pokemon we got is any better though. It's fucking trash design and because Gamefreak are retards when it comes to fairy type pokemon it has a high likelihood of being some early to mid game trash mon that has no staying power even in game.

At least if it referenced the boss it would be a cool nod. Now it's nothing more than a redo of that whip cream dog but for waifu shit.

This is what happens when a series spans a bunch of genres.

You ignore the fact that Alcremie is also based on a magical girl archetype. The bowtie is a bowtie from a sailor suit. The cake functions as a dress or skirt that a magical girl wears after it transforms.

The fact that its move is called G-Max Finale also reminds me of Mami's Tiro Finale from Madoka, and doesn't she get eaten by some kind of big cake monster? And then in the movie it's her pet? Alcremie reminds me a lot of that thing.

I hate to inform you, but people in the pokemon universe are all literal retards.

The Voltorb line is actually really cool for how many concepts it can tie into a very simple design. For one its a mimic, which is a classic rpg monster known for punishing naive players with the promise of treasure. Once engaged, Voltorb and Electrode use their high speed and early access to self-destruct to potentially blow a hole in your team before you can even act. These characteristics aren't just justified from a game-mechanics standpoint, but also by other aspects of their design. The Electric typing, speed, and explosiveness of Voltorb evokes another inspiration in the form of ball lightning, which is a mysterious electrical phenomena known for moving about erratically before exploding. Since ball lightning is largely unexplained and even considered to be a cryptid-like entity, it makes Voltorb fit in well among the other Sci-Fi monsters in the Pokedex. The last concept that I think Voltorb draws from in its design are electrical instruments such as the Van De Graaf generator, the plasma globe, and most obviously electrodes! All of these devices are spherical and used to discharge electricity. They provide another real world inspiration that helps synchronize all of Voltorb's characteristics into a well unified design.
