There are some stipulations though! According to the
Pokemon Bank itself , Pokemon from Gen I need to be transferred to Sun or Moon
Before they can be sent to ORAS or X/Y. This tells me there's likely some conversion process that takes place, be it with stats being generated in the new Gen I and then brought out, or generated entirely from scratch where missing. In particular, the formula for splitting Special into Special Attack and Defence must be quite complex!
It'll be very very very interesting to see how it works....the potential exists for some interesting new ways to hack Pokemon. It also might affect things interestingly in Gen VI, as the first 'wave' of Gen I Pokemon might be useless to the hardcore players if their stats are random. People will just breed them afterward, sure, but it creates issues with things like Mewtwo that can't be bred.
I can't wait to see how it all works!
(Gen II also isn't
that different from the later games. Gen I is where things are strange)
