I know these are virtual bits and bytes and not real things but I will be legit sad if the monsters who have followed me from all the way back from Gen III have to be left behind. :(

I doubt they'd go too far given how successful Pokebank has been. If they did make them incompatible, it'd be like a month before the set up a patch or a transfer program to the new system.

Yes. And you can transfer mons from Gen 1 to it through Bank. Not to Gen 6 though.

Using Pokémon Bank, you'll be able 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.

More details here, specifying not to Gen 6 as well.

I cannot wait to bring back my first Pokemon ever, the grammatically correctly nicknamed Venusaur, because 10 year old me was a grammar Nazi and didn't like POKEMON NAMES in ALL CAPS.

Why? You could just transfer it from Emerald or FRLG all the way up to today's games if you wanted to, it's not stuck in there.

That looks far more like a woodpecker than a peacock. In fact it doesn't look like a peacock at all.

I can't believe anyone seriously thought that pokemon already stored in the Bank wouldn't be able to go to Sun/Moon. The perpetual forward compatibility is one of the primary selling points of Pokemon Bank.

Jynx originally had black skin which made it look like a racist stereotype. They changed it to purple later to minimize that.

A special event in Yellow had Pikachu that could use Surf (on a surfboard) and Fly (with balloons).

If you're playing Yellow, you can access the Surfing Pikachu minigame without a Pikachu that knows Surf. They also hastily recolored Jynx from black to purple.

Maybe it starts off like a woodpecker then evolves into something like a peacock. That's most bird pokemon's MO after all. I mean we had a pigeon that evolved into a pheasant and a sparrow that evolved from a cardinal to a falcon. It's probably both honestly. I seriously hope we get a ghost fighting type. that would be glorious.

There's no way the one hit KO exception moves are going to be allowed in any form of tiered play but you'd better watch your rear end in free WiFi. Probably like how if you want to be serious at all you need to counter the banned megas somehow.

What moves does Skarmory learn that can own them both? One way to kill time would be to breed a perfect counter for both Machamp and Poliwrath.
