What if those are the pokemon Team Skull grunts use in game?
that'd be a pretty sweet callback to the game if they meant it. I Loved mystery dungeon and how hard it was.
DEEPEST LORE: You know how you were morphed in to a pokemon in PMD? What if the same thing happened to team skull and what if the secret with rockruff and the starters are that in the newer pmd games team skull will reappear and in that same plot they will talk ABOUT there human counter parts
