And for an actual serious answer now...yes, that's one of the topics we've had under discussion for a while now, and we're still getting the transfer of mechanics smoothed out in that respect. For the time being, it's safe to assume that existing Pokemon have not have their typings or movesets retconned; stick with the Gen V movesets until there's more official word from us on how the mechanics are going to switch over.
As for the new swarms of Gen VI Pokemon, player characters will be in similar situations to where they were when we had the Goomy swarm earlier this year — your Dex, if you chose to exercise the option to have it updated, was still only updated with the entry on Goomies, not on the full range of Kalos Pokemon. So they're at a bit of a disadvantage in terms of IC information this coming month!
Regardless, the short answer to your question is: we're going to do our best to keep the game well-informed about when and how the mechanics switch-over ultimately takes place; if we haven't spoken on it yet, it's safe to assume we're still operating on the usual Gen V mechanics until further notice.
