It's a little surprising, but not groundbreaking.

There's really nothing worth transferring over from Gen1.

Notably, they announced that transfers from Gen1 cannot be withdrawn from Gen6 games. You can only withdraw them into Sun/Moon. That really doesn't make much sense to me, considering nothing about Gen6 should be inadequate for storing these and these VC releases are happening so long before Sun/Moon.

I guess it's worth trying maybe

but it's almost certain that they'll block impossible pokemon, like:
* pokedex number of 0 or >151
* level > 100

Impossible moves might have a chance of making it through, but I doubt it.

They could even do something like Stadium and convert Missingnos to dittos.

I think this announcement is actually kinda funny, because only a day or two ago, i was talking to kaz about how we haven't had a new main pokemon in a while, let alone news of one.

boom

i didnt watch the direct, but did they actually confirm moon and sun or whatever are actually main series titles

what if they are the happy home designer of pokemens

I will be buying Yellow on the 3DS VC.

I've never really played a Pokemon game. At least to the end. If I like it, I will continue looking into Pokemon games. That includes Sun and Moon.

The Gen1 games have enough exploits that players can, without any cheating device, do absolutely anything they want to the game's memory if they know how.

Want a Fire-type Bulbasaur? You can do that. A Diglett that knows Fly? Go ahead. Want to rewrite the game into Tetris? It takes a while, but it's doable.

Sun and Moon are proper Pokémon games on 3DS in which you can catch Pokémon, trade, and transfer forward your Pokémon from existing games. They introduce new locations and new Pokémon species.

Beyond that, it's vague. Do we have 8 gyms, an Elite Four, a villainous team, a legendary from the boxart? Six Pokémon on your team at once, held items, the same battle system we've always had, three starter Pokémon that are grass/fire/water? Probably, but unconfirmed.

Can you link me to examples of those

I mean if accurate then there is definitely an advantage to being able to upload from Gen 1

well while we're at it more than four moves per pkmn would be nice

Come to think of it, considering how much The Pokémon Company is really pushing for gen1 nostalgia this year, I wouldn't put it past them to implement Missingno in Bank/Sun/Moon as an easter egg for people who transfer it over from Gen1.

The biggest reason I'd doubt it is that Missingno is very different between American and Japanese games; Japan doesn't have the memorable backwards-L-shaped appearance and I don't think their glitches are as well-known.

I just made those up. I know they're all possible, but I don't know the exact procedure to get them and don't feel like examining/calculating it out.

Pokémon Bank already has very extensive legitimacy checks for imports from Gen5 games. I imagine they'll do the same for Gen1 imports and block anything with types, levels, moves, dex numbers, etc. that it doesn't like. In particular, with the way the data structure works in newer games, even if they tried to import a Fire-type Bulbasaur its typing data would just get discarded anyway.
