I guess I'd say that unseen Pokemon should count towards usage. I wouldn't say that for last gen, but with the advent of Team Preview, where you can prepare to "hide" certain Pokemon for the whole battle because you know your opponent's team and vice versa, then they should count towards usage.
Also I thought that we wouldn't consider using any other method besides the original (R_D's) since we now have the plug-in for our servers again? IIRC that method takes into account unseen Pokemon, and it gives a full look at what was really going on in every battle that took place, instead of only half guessing or missing minute pieces of detail.
