Except they completely failed the concept of a mimic. Mimics are supposed to look nearly indentical to the thing they are mimicking. Voltorb is way bigger than a pokeball and it doesn't even have the button.
Electrode is even worse by having its colors reversed and having a troll face. If this is not the laziest design in the series, i don't know what it is.
People can criticize the ice cream pokemon and a couple of others all they want. But don't say they are scraping the botton of the barrel in recent gens when the earlier gens had their fair share of uncreative designs.
