What if the Pokestar characters were legit Pokemon?
So as those of us who frequent the updates on B2/W2 know, in Pokewood/Pokestar Studios, you're able to have battles with characters that aren't Pokemon (see the page for details). No doubt hackers are already poring over the games with ways to add these into their regular Pokemon teams, and I won't be surprised if one day i'm double battling on wi-fi against Brycenman and Mecha-Tyranitar.
Nevertheless, this isn't the place to talk about hacking, but I do wanna throw a hypothetical out there. Some of these "pseudo-Pokemon" have typings never before seen in the series (Brycenman is Dark/Psychic for example), and most of them have stats close to Mew or Shaymin. So my question is, how do you think these new dudes would affect the metagame if they were actual Pokemon? What would their counters, partners, etc. be? Would they render any currently popular Pokemon ineffective?
This doesn't have to necessarily be competitive discussion, I just like using the word metagame
