There's obviously western influence in Pokémon, but the story of the creation of the world of Pokémon seems much more eastern inspired in the JP text. For example, what was translated as "the Original One" in the English translation, in JP it's "そのもの" which means "the thing itself". In English, this "thing itself" is personified because English is a very ego-centric language (not in a derogatory way, but in a literal "the sentence structure of English heavily depends on the ego or an active party). This gives it the connotation of an active God that created the world.
However, in JP this そのもの is more of a "thing that exists" without personification. The universe was a "vortex of chaos" after all, and the universe was something that "すべてが まざりあい" (aka, everything was blended together in this vortex of chaos). This is actually a really clear reference to the Japanese Creation Myth (Shintoism Creation Myth) in which everything started from chaos until "the movement of particles of light" happened. Pokémon just replaces "movement of particles of light" with "an Egg topples over and hatches because of the "こころ" (heart/spirit) of the world.
The hiker NPC in HGSS, in JP, states: "じぶんは せかいの はじまり とは ひとに こころが めばえた しゅんかんだと かんがえているんです そう! こころが うまれて せかいを にんしき しはじめた!" The last part, "こころが うまれて せかいを にんしき しはじめた" basically translates to "The heart recognized the world and was born."
So basically, to sum it up, the Creation Myth more so implies that "first there was a swirling vortex of chaos in which everything was blended together, and then the heart of the Thing (everything) desired to exist, so the Egg hatched".
