A lot of people here have said there were so many incompatibilities between X/Y and OR/AS. Although this may be the first within the same generation of having incompatibilities, people also forget that Shaymin's Sky Forme, Giratina's Origin Forme, Wash Rotom, Heat Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, Mow Rotom, Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, the Therian Formes of Tornadus/Landorus/Thunderus, Keldeo's Resolute Forme and Meloetta's Pirouette Forme are examples of when attempting to play with a game in which those formes don't exist. When those formes are battled or traded with a player using a game in which they don't exist, they automatically revert back to their original form and stay as that even after battle or trade. And if they are holding any item that doesn't exist in those games (eg. Griseous Orb), the game will automatically remove the item from the Pokémon and the player will have to go through the trouble of giving the item back to that Pokémon.
But in the current generation (which in this case is sixth generation), the game just simply doesn't allow battling or trading Pokémon holding new items or new moves.
But also... there are many people here on this forum and anywhere who have not lived during the era of the first and second generation and have no clue on how the Time Capsule system worked in Gold/Silver/Crystal. And I was living around in the time of the first and second generations of Pokémon and I still have Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal. During that time, players could NOT trade or battle with the Time Capsule using new Pokémon, new moves or Pokémon holding an item. And it seems many have either forgotten about that or have not lived during that era.
It could easily happen again with the next games. And hey, even if we do get a "Generation 6.5", it will still be considered the seventh generation by Junichi Masuda, regardless. Yes, I do feel that the next games are about as close as you're going to get to a "Generation 6.5", yet still be called as "Generation 7" in an official statement. It's almost like saying that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 (which it originally was called early in development).
Either way, it's still really exciting! ^^
