>>46053686Voltorb was manmade
>During the study of this Pokémon, it was discovered that its components are not found in nature>Voltorb was first sighted at a company that manufactures Poké BallsConsidering how gen 1 mentions a war and has scientist experiment with Pokemon like Mewtwo or Porygon it's entirely possible that they wanted to create something they could use as a weapon in a potential future war
See it's not hard to come up with a reasonable explaination even for your bland lazy ball with eyes pokemon, also Voltorb's purpose in the game is to be a mimick so it's different than putting something in the game and call it a Pokemon SOLELY because you want stupid girls and to AAAA KAWAIIIII SUGOIIII and buy the merch
