In terms of the hack check that Pokémon Bank will have. I know they nobody actually knows the EXACT method of hack check it will have, but consider this:
Wish is a fairly common move on a competitive Blissey. Considering the only way to get Wish on a Blissey (at the moment anyway) is from a 2006 event, chances are most people are going to trade over their hacked Blissey with Wish (unless they have an event Blissey, but chances are they won't because their IV's will be garbage). If those Blissey are denied entry into the Pokémon Bank, great. If they are able to get through though, it will beg the question of how efficient the hack check is. Obviously this is all pure speculation at this point but I thought it was worth considering.
As a side note, I am aware that if you ARE lucky enough to still have your 2006 NYC Wish Blissey around, with the new Gen VI breeding mechanics it is entirely possible to breed Wish onto Blissey legitimately . But my only fear is that if hacked Wish Blissey ARE able to go through Poké Transporter, how can you tell the difference between hacked and event?

Your question is answered the same way the last several dozen questions have been answered: We don't know, and do you really think they're going to spell out what their legality check checks for?

Is there any way of knowing if you have a hacked Pokémon? I was given in trade an Arceus just cos I knew the chap and he "had a few of them". To me that suggests shenanigans, but I ask if it can be checked at all on White 2 before transferring over?

There are various hack check threads within the respective Game/generational forums and/or sub forums.

I have a slew of Pokemon to transfer up, and a $5 service charge is perfectly fine with me. I just hope it's easy to access the Pokemon stored in the bank, as I like to swap up my team for online fights and do not want to have issues with constantly swapping people between the bank and the game.

I'm actually kind of enjoying this generation without previous gen Pokemon... Idk. It feels like new beginnings. No hacked Pokemon, no "perfect" Pokemon from Gen V, etc...
I am, however, looking forward to transferring all my teams and legendaries forward.

I've actually done this lol. I have Pokemon that I know are legit. Pokemon I think are legit, and Pokemon I know are not legit. The reason why I don't want to release them is pretty silly, but I don't want the Pokemon being released to mess with my game. I'll just transfer the boxes of Pokemon with Pokemon that I know are legit. (I assume if I Rare Candied some of the Pokemon, they should still pass. right?)

And why would no perfect mons matter...? You do realize it's easy to breed for a 5-6 IV spread now?
Releasing = deleting. They cannot mess with your game at all, by not releasing them you're subjecting yourself to the very thing you want to prevent.

Wait, is this true...? Can you actually breed Wish onto Chansey now?

I don't think you can breed Wish. but you can breed Seismic Toss now.
That's true.. I mean they don't really interfere with anything by me having them, but releasing them wouldn't hurt either. I've distinguished which boxes have hacked Pokemon, and which ones don't. So I should be fine.
Yep, my exact thoughts pretty much.
Meh, I'm ready to finish the last 20% of the dex now and get my shinies up to Y. I'm tired of waiting for my Pokedex completion. I'm not complaining about the wait, though.

i hope that these risks when leaving pokemon in pokemon bank and it get's cyber attacked doesn't mean we're willing to risk our pokemon being destroyed by some a**hole who decided to attack the servers or whatever.
sounds like should they be unable to keep the servers safe from attack our pokemon will be destroyed

You assume risk when uploading anything online. There will be measures in place to prevent data loss.
I agree I like the feel of a fresh start, I remember this one time me and my friends decided to restart our games, cuz another of our friends just got the game. We decided that any legendaries(especially event and hard to find ones) and any Pokemon we could stand the thought of deleting would be traded to a third party until we could retrieve them. Needless to say it was quite refreshing except once we got our Pokemon back the temptation to go back to my old team was almost unresistable.
