Can someone explain to me..

.. About the exact reasons you couldn't get a Pokémon from the GBC Pokémon games and put them on the GBA games.
Other then the fact GBC and GBA are differnt systems, I seem to remember hearing something about stats and things, like something being changed from 16 to 32?
So even if there was a way to trade GBC Pokémon they are imcompatable anyway?
I am trying to explain something on another site but don't remember this.. sorry if this is the wrong forum..

Do I make sence..?

I am pretty suree you couldn't trade because in g/s/c they would trade one pokemon, then the other one.
The newer games they do it at the same time.
Sorry if this doesn't help but the question is confuesing.

I know that much, but I mean if there way a way the Pokémon wouldn't be compatable anyway cause of the old stat system, I was wondering if someone could explain that to me..

the old games (RBYGSC) used IVs from 0 to 15 instead of 0 to 31, had no total EV limit, and had a higher limit per stat. they also didn't have natures. so given all the conversions and adjustments that they'd have to make, it was simpler just to make it impossible.

Also, the link cables are different.
It was RBY that gave first, then recieved traded ones.
And the newer games are just programmed in a different way, prob more bits. Was RBYG 8-bit?

Was RBYG 8-bit?

I think so, but it might be 16 bit...

it's not possible to trade pokemon from a GBC game to a GBA game because it requires that a GBA pokemon (which is 32-bit) be traded into the GBC game (which can only handle 8 or 16-bit information).

while it's possible to have 16-bit information such as a pokemon in a 32-bit game, it's impossible for the opposite to happen.

That's why Gamefreak/Nintendo created so many advanced games.
