What possible reason could they have for delaying Pokebank compatibility for the Gen 1 VC games?
The only reason I can think of is that they're not going to implement full compatibility (i.e. they'll allow transfers from Gen 1 to S/M, but they won't allow you to pull Gen 1 pokemon from the bank to your VC games) which is fucking bullshit if they do
I thought it was because the code from Gens 1 and 2 are incompatible with all future games, which would mean in S/M they'd have to program it where Gen 1 PokeData could be received. Idk though really.

All's I want is the ability to get all three Eevee evolution in my Pokemon yellow by myself, that's it

I imagine there will be a time-machine like tool in S&M much like G/S/C to make the gen1 mons compatible.
And that they will be like the new pokemon and unable to be transferred to X/Y/OR/AS.
Also there is no way you would be able to put pokemon into the R/B/Y games.

>Also there is no way you would be able to put pokemon into the R/B/Y games.
Surely you will be allowed to transfer around pokemon in your own RBY games

It's easier to release everything at once.

So why release RBY VC without the compatibility, that's making it a two-parter (at best) release

there's a Pokemon Bank to transfer between gen 1 games already, but it's a homebrew app
What if s&m uses a battle system closer to gen 1?
Relatedly... does anyone know how the trading/battling works with the VC games? Can you do it remotely with a friend online or do you have to be near each other?
>>25726888
Have to be with a friend; local play only.

Old School as fuck, you actually have to talk to the person face to face first.
