>Sword dex entry: Due to Gigantamax energy, this Pokémon's toxic gas has become much thicker, congealing into masses shaped like discarded toys.

None of that stuff is real, it's just gas taking on physical shapes.

I get the feeling the design didn't start that way, but they made things look like toys so it wouldn't look like Garbodor destroyed a real city and potentially killed people.

Very Shinto.

Even if it were a toy skeleton, it still has a meaning. Garbage results in environmental destruction.

They wrap it in "toys" as a euphemism.

Lol you can clearly tell the wind up thing on the boat was added last minute because they thought it would be too dark to have an actual boat there.

Why did they do that in the same generation where something literally eats a pikachu?

the plane, car, and building are all clearly also toys, so it might've been a situation where they decided to turn all the stuff into toys at once

Because it doesn't actually eat pikachu, it uses it as part of an attack (its lore also states its thick as pigshit and mistakes Pikachu for prey sometimes). It was likely conceptualised as a gag from the outset, but Gmax Garbodor was probably meant to be a commentary on trash taking over a city, before they walked it back massively.

I just see it as a reference to N's room with all the toys

That's text in the game user, doesn't count.
