[PKHeX] Gen 2 -> Gen 7 before Virtual Console release?

[DuoForce]

Hey there, I gotta quick question

Will it be possible to transfer Generation 2 Pokemon to Sun & Moon BEFORE the Virtual Console releases?  I say this because I play Gold on a rom and want to transfer the Pokemon to Sun and Moon before the 22nd of September (because waiting nearly 4 months for a VC game is absurd)

 It would be so cool if PKHeX could implement it before the VC release!

I don't know about @Kaphotics views on this,
but this functionality will almost certainly end up with a lot of bad hacks going up onto USUM via Wonder Trade and GTS, before GS VC release.

PKHeX only supports methods of transfer that the games support, emulating the official method of transferring for you.

Can't support a transfer feature if we don't know how to reasonably emulate it.

As much as it's a long wait i'm just glad it will finally be possible.

It's been almost 14 years since we got Ruby / Sapphire in the UK, to find out it's not possible to transfer Pokemon from GEN 1 / 2. I can wait another few months to transfer Pokemon which have been stuck in GEN 2 for 14+ years!

Well, while it may not be official,(and not through PKHeX) there are many fan-made guides and programs that can convert gen 2 Pokemon into a gen 3 save.

To that end, it will probably be almost exactly the same as Gen 1 to Gen 7.

It will probably be exactly like Gen 1->7, as in Gen 2 VC->Bank->Gen 7.
