Pokémon species all come in various shapes and forms that suit those shapes. For some people, though, one shape that they might be fond of is the circle, and a few Pokémon species do assume this shape and (thus) a round form, or at least some variation of that. I too have some fondness of Pokémon species that possess the shape and form for all their varied characteristics, and they are indeed varying as such.
While the Voltorb species family and their Hisuian forms might be considered a "shocker" in the truest sense, they may also be considered attractive for that reason. It's not just about their tendency to impersonate Poké Balls and cause a good jolt, although that's a significant aspect. Treated wisely, they can be good companions, and circular ones at that; it's a surprising "shock", but a good one.
A little less rounded but still quite so are the "celestial duo" of Lunatone and Solrock, for the moon and the sun. The latter may be rounded only in the middle, but its sun ray-like appendages definitely emphasize that. The former is "doubly" rounded: by showing a "cutout" to project its crescent shape, it actually accentuates its lunar origins. Add to the fact that they're part Psychic types, and the attraction becomes evident.
Then there are the "oddball" odd balls of the fifth generation, for which I consider Solosis, Munna, and Darumaka to be part of the group. They all show their roundness in one way yet supplement them with inner "circles" in some way, as their innards, flowers, and eyepatches respectively. Then there are the additional limbs of the latter two, and all of these just makes it seem hard to not become attracted to them.
It may be that the "roundness" of any or all of the species I mentioned above may seem rather abstracted, but I suppose that's the nature of any Pokémon fan finding the commonalities and quirks among the species that they are so attracted to. At the least, any or all of these species could be considered to be representative of the "full circle" that is my interest in Pokémon and the "continuity" of it all.
