Thought this might be an interesting thing to show, some of you may have already seen it since it's trending on r/pokemon right now.

Graphical representation of Pokemon memory through the ages! The reason I bring it up is because of the news regarding RBY 'mons getting moved up to Sun and Moon. All that added stuff (assuming there's no massive changes in how Sun and Moon store data) between gens 1 and 6 is going to have to be newed up in the transition, while EVs, IVs and Stats (and possibly nicknames depending on filter) are gonna have to be recalculated. It's obviously doable, but those who felt that the Pokemon they'd have in SM aren't the same ones that they'd have in RBY are proportionally correct. I don't mind though. Your Pokemon get overwritten any time they get traded anyway. Classic Teleportation dilemma.
