Pokémon from the 3DS VC versions of R/B/Y CAN be transferred to Pokémon Bank!

How it's going to work:
- VC version likely has a couple fixes for the worst bugs (missingno could literally corrupt save files)
- When uploading, pokemon is checked for stat bounds, level, valid moveset (maybe) which Bank does for all versions.
- Gen 1 pokemon will be assigned a valid gender, nature, SP attack, ability etc. rolled upon transfer.

I haven't really followed how these are supposed to work on VC. Do you still need two machines to transfer pokémons, or can you transfer between Red and Blue on the same machine?

Yeah, you're right.
I was too focused looking at the "how" and didn't really stop to just consider it as a neat feature for people just *playing the games*. I guess people who want to transfer won't even care if stats are messed up when coming out, or that their Pikachu is now randomly a female and has a new tail.

Does Pokemon Bank only work one way for R/B/Y or will I be able to transfer Pokemon between my Red and Yellow versions on the same 3DS?

We already know this isn't true and Missingno and the Mew glitch both still exist.
Missingno glitch (the most common one) still works. Since that still works, it's very unlikely they actually fixed anything in these releases -- they have been left untouched.

I hope they add Gold, Silver and Crystal

Most likely. The graphic showed a clear one way demonstration.

Well, Yellow now has access to the surfing game normally, and Jynx is no longer black.
But yeah, glitches definitely remain, especially because fixing many of them would require a lot of reworking in places.
According to the site linked below, nothing is mentioned about that
Nothing about transferring back to another Gen 1 game. Sounds very unlikely you'll be able to do it.
I will cry tears of joy.
I own Gold and Silver, brought them in about 2007 but the batteries are dead I think so save's do not save properly.

Something something IV changes something something EV changes.
I meant untouched in terms of glitches, not features or sprite changes lol.

is easy to swap batteries, I have also silver still and Pokemon Stadium, VC is doing wonders now haha

Gen II is particularly tricky with batteries since it has that 24 clock battery. That battery tends to last much shorter than the other games, even Gen I.

So any Pokemon transferred to Bank from Red/Blue/Green/Yellow will need to have the stats that didn't exist in Generation 1 amended to it, a random ability and gender assigned, the proto-ev/iv system will have to be completely recalculated...
It's like Ship of Theseus: Pokemon.
You're not really transferring you Pokemon forward as you are trading it in for a similar creature of the same species.
No thanks.
I don't desire to play Gen 1 or 2 again, anyway, just for how dated and archaic they are nowadays, but this only turns me off to the idea even more.
I wonder if they'll cop-out and give 'Mons transferred from VC version above-average stats, like how Legendaries are guaranteed a certain number of perfect IVs.

I don't care about the rules! Fissure for all! Every pokemon I can transfer fissure up with will get it. Horn Drill too! All the gen one goofy moves.

Nope. From Pokemon.com:
Once Pokémon Bank has been updated, you'll be able to use it to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.
You will be able to use your existing Pokémon Bank account to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow to Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Due to certain limitations, it is recommended that you install Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow on the same Nintendo 3DS system as Pokémon Bank.
Note that Pokémon cannot be moved directly from Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow to Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y via Pokémon Bank.

Two of those things were already done in RGBY->GSC calculations.

Sun/Moon could just make No Guard ignore OHKO moves.
Maybe it should have originally anyway.

They've already done this in the past you know.
They assigned gender to gen 1 pokemon transferred up to gen 2 and cloned their special stat. They've given pokemon who learned a second ability in gen 4 a fifty fifty shot of it if transferred up from gen 3.
Missingno and Mew glitches both still work so most likely, yes. They didn't fix anything in terms of glitches for these releases.

I'm pretty sure these Pokemon can't be used online because they hae no pentagon.

They probably will remove Fissure anyway too. It would make the main game dead easy. Not that Pokemon games have been challenging of late, but that would be crazy if left in.

Awesome!
Interesting, though I wonder if the corruption issues remain. Seems like that would be a certification issue?
You can buy eshop credit direct from PayPal-Gifts in $10 or $20 values.

That'd be nice. It was a shame to see the Notch-Eared Pichu being left behind in HGSS.

Can't wait to transfer a Flying Kangaskhan over to Gen 7.

So is there a Vicribbyaught? By which I mean VCRBYOT? By which I mean VC R/B/Y |OT|?

Yeah that still makes me sad. I had to leave him alone and abandoned in an empty game after transferring everyone else out of it.

It'd be nice if it were either shiny or came with a Light Ball.

"Oh! This Pichu needs to stay where it is. It appears to have traveled through time. It has been affected by traveling so far through time with Celebi. It'll be risky to transfer it, so it's best for Pichu to stay where it is."
"Oh, screw you, GameFreak."
Wow this is a must purchase for me now haha. I wonder how move transferring will work?
Yeah but we have no idea how breeding moves will come into play.

You won't be able to upload him to Pokemon Bank I'd wager.
