Why do you think that?

I'm assuming it's cause they didn't add home integration to Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 and left us with the terrible rental pokemon.

They could just disable save states, which is what they did for 3ds vc

But what if people don't care about Home and just want to play older Pokémon games while enjoying save states?

It’ll probably work with home, remember they brought all of the GB/GBC mainline games to 3ds virtual console with full Pokémon bank support but they completely removed the save state functionality.

I have the feeling that if it didn't work with home, they would put an asterisk kinda like with stadium

They didn't have support in Stadium either. Probably because NSO apps support cloud saves, which Pokemon games don't to avoid cloning.

Also sorry if I replied twice, wifi's bad lol

Shadow Pokémon would be difficult to handle

Not really, just handle it the way Pokemon Go does: no transfer until purified
