A big one is Arceus using them in Black and White.
Arceus is not Pokemon God, it is a shard of "God" (the universal force) taken form with a will of its own.
This is a pretty clean cut reference to Kabbalah.
In Kabbalah, the will of God becomes the word of God, and the word of God (the word in and of itself) becomes light which then becomes creation after going through a bunch of other stages.
You can see that happening here

(Spirit is the life force or breath of life, Soul is the willpower) This is why Dialga looks so square-y, it's inspired by salt crystals because in alchemy salt is the body, and Palkia is pearls because in Shintoism the spirit is said to be a pearl.
There are a lot of alchemical references throughout pokemon ever since gen 2, for example have you ever wondered why shiny Espeon is randomly green? Look up "green lion devouring the sun"
What is the machine and how did they make it?
The machine could only be made at the bottom of Area Zero where Terastalization originated from.
Terastalization changes pokemon's types, in other words it changes the properties of the soul. This is one of the faculties of the magnum opus, or the philosopher's stone.
What seems to me to be the case is that the machine is simply replacing the Unowns in the process of creation, and the Terastalization crystals are supplying the immense amounts of Infinity Energy required to create a living being out of nothing.
Each professor wished to see a cartoony/fantasy age and that's what came out of the machine.
The Tera crystals supplied the body, the machine codified the spirit as the Unowns would, the professor willed the soul into being.
Just like fake Entei does it in the movie.
