Pokeball-based Pokemon

So, weeks ago a new Pokemon was introduced. Magearna has the design based on a pokeball.

I have a weird thought. Before magearna, we already have Pokemon based on a pokeball. But, not all of us aware that they have pattern.

Voltorb and Electrode is introduced in gen I
Not may of us realise, Slakoth's eyes look like a pokeball, that's gen III
and the punny Fungus Among us is in gen V

They're all odd-numbered generations.
Is that intentional?
Is it a hint that Magearna IS gen VII, not 6.5? (some people still thing sun/moon as gen 6.5)


Thoughts?

I'm not sure the generation talk can be seen like that. With new consoles or drastically changed gameplay/graphics comes a new generation. If they change a lot of things, they may call it "the next generation of pokemon gaming" and then we'll definitely know.

But also if there are any new pokemon, as has already been confirmed, it has always been a new generation. So gen 7 regardless of pokeball conspiracies, I'd say (;

I also think it is definitly Gen 7, So Maybe we get a new one in Gen 9? Who knows..

I hope it's gen 7 and it could be. Game Freak and Nintendo love doing things out of the ordinary! People were expecting Pokemon Z and we get 2 games that no one anticipated.

Does seem like its Gen VII, don't know for sure though.
