Adding pokebank support would be ridiculously easy for any old Pokemon game. Of course, it would need to be a one way trip, but it would not the first time they do that.
For the first and second gens, since the Pokemon systems are completely different, all you need to do is generate a new Pokemon with the same nickname and moveset and you're done.
Other solution would be retro-remaking the games, remake them to use the new mechanics, but keep the same looks and stuff. This would cost more money, of course.

Even if Nintendo- decides to do the transfer the way you wold do it, would Nintendo- really risk another possibly huge shutdown of Pokebank over a feature of a rather niche service (Virtual Console) that is simply one-way, very much defeating a big purpose of Pokebank?
The fact that it's one way would make it far more convenient for them actually, since they wouldn't need to modify the games themselves, just the app. Pokebank can already do this with the gen 5 games.
Besides, the point is to keep the Pokemon safe for future games, not old ones.
Use the pokemon stadiums as a "pokebank"
You can store pokemon in stadium. No clue if gen 1 games can be used on pokemon stadium 2 since I never played it.
@komodo182: You can and you can use the items they would've had in they were thrown through the Time Machine.
Perfect, so release the pokemon stadiums at the same time as the original gen 1 and 2 games and you have your "pokebank"
now it is looking more like a wii u vc, but heck, release them on both.
I think Pokemon Stadium would be a nice way to make the games available too.
They'd just need to sell it as a VC and then offer the GB games as DLC for it. It would be easy and mostly effortless (since that seems to be the keyword with VC).
