I was reading a post on the Pokemon website and I noticed that you will be able to trade Pokemon from your virtual version of Red, Blue, or Yellow into Sun and Moon. However, you won't be able to put them into XY, or ORAS. I was thinking as to why this would be, and I have some ideas.
- Maybe Sun and Moon will handle IV's differently. Red and Blue had a very different IV system than what we have now, so this would make it almost impossible to trade these Pokemon into the newer games. This would, however, also mean that we wouldn't be able to trade from any of the previous games into Sun and Moon. I feel that this is unlikely because of this, but it is still something to consider.
- Sun and Moon may only feature Pokemon from the region it's based in, so it might feature Kanto, and be sort of a throwback to the first games, in celebration of the 20th anniversary Japan release.
This is all speculation, and I'm not sure how valid these points are yet, but I'd appreciate discussion about why this is.
EDIT:
From the Pokemon website:
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.
Why would Pokemon from Blue, Red, and Yellow be able to be transferred into Sun and Moon but not XY, or ORAS?
