Basically, they took some Sword/Shield Pokemon and redesigned them as if they were Gen 1 Pokemon, taking into account the design philosophy of mid-90's Game Freak, as well as the limitations of the sprite space that they had to work with on the Game Boy (and color palettes of the Super Game Boy).

Of course, if you don't want to watch all five videos, you can expand the Imgur links below (because directly embedding would make this post too big).

Yeah, if you look at the videos of them going through the process of redesigning the Pokemon, you can see that they did reference Gen 1 Pokemon.

I don't know if it has a name, but Ken Sugimori (the main Pokemon artist at the time) had a sorta-retro watercolor style throughout the 90's that was used most notably in Pokemon Gen 1 and Gen 2. Starting with Ruby/Sapphire, he switched over to a more vibrant style.
