3025 isn't the only one to go by though since MWO is going to start in 3049, right at the start of Clan activity. Record sheet for 3039 can also be used, as well as mechs that are old or are starting to be prototyped back into existence by the discovery of the Helm memory core in 3028.

I think that the game will start out with only a few select mechs anyway and build up, so even if they can't use the unseens (even though in interviews they said there wasn't a problem) then there is still a core amount that can be used for all the IS fighting till the Clans are integrated.

Once the Clans are integrated it opens up all the other options like the ad-hoc Bushwacker and all the mechs redesigned/rediscovered with Clan tech introductions.

Also take a look at Project Pheonix as that redesigned all the 'unseens' to make them legit again.
