Yeah, it would create the same effect. But you can also look at the new pokémon as fakemon with the limited knowledge we have. They both produce the same effect in a hack as of now anyway.
You pose a good point, but flawed ones. Why use Nintendo's ideas, designs, etc. when you could make your own, and not be "flamed" (I put that in quote marks because it isn't literal flaming, ore telling-off) once generation five, along with Zoroark's family's other info, is revealed for doing it 'wrong', which is inevitable.
It's true, 0m3Ga, that people seem to look down on fakémon and shun hacks with them, but if hackers weren't so notorius for producing; in general; terrible fakémon created in three seconds in Paint, I see no reason why people shouldn't form a stereotype of hackers and bad fakémon. In any case, most hacks with good fakémon, i.e. Sienna, Torzach, have got a lot of public support, and, in both of those hacks' case, won an award of some sort (Hack of the Month for the former, Hack of the Week for the latter), proving that it isn't so bad to have fakémon, as long as they are quality, and are beleivable.
I may not be an expert spriter, or expert hacker, and I'm probably going off-track now, but I've discovered that if you try equally as hard on your maps or scripts or whatever on your sprites, and don't give up (as Chibi Robo can tell you), you'll eventually get some good sprites. In my opinion, a good hack is a balanced hack, so it wiill have good sprites, scripts, maps and any other things (i.e music, tiles), because otherwise, it will just be script-heavy, or map-heavy, or sprite-heavy, or whatever.
And anyway, like I said before, if you
really can't sprite/accept critisism for your sprites/are too lazy to do some work, then hire a spriter.
I honestly can't see downsides of having good fakémon, especially when they're mixed in, effectively, with canon Pokémon. That is, canon Pokémon that we know all details about (i.e. not Zoroa/Zoroark).
So, I guess, new topic: why do you think fakémon are shunned upon so much, good or bad?
