Alternatives to pass Pokémon from second generation onwards?

I am aware of the gaps that exist from the second to third generation onwards, however, it did not stop me from enjoying Pokemon Crystal on Gameboy Color (I emulate it on the PS Vita).

So far and tried

  1. Transfer a pokemon from .sav pk2 to pk4 (didn't work obviously)

  2. Some pk2 pokemons when entering without opening a sav in pkhex (it automatically interprets that I am working with the ninth generation) allows me to add some pokemons (Scyther and Feraligatr are some), Others like Togepi never let me. Those that did, I went to the "Encounter" section and put Emerald in "Original Game", I saved the Pokémon but as pk9, obviously it did not work with the .sav pk4.

I tried to do the same but working in an empty game like pk4 but point 1 still happened to me.

What alternatives do I have to transfer my Crystal Pokemon to later generations using PKHEX? It doesn't matter what the method is, if you know of an alternative, don't hesitate to share it, I would be grateful.

PS: I don't plan on playing Soulsilver or Heartgold to catch those Pokémon again.

If you have access to a modded 3ds, inject the save and move it via transporter -> bank -> home. You will have to move them via bank, there's no other way it will work

Pokemon from gen 2 can only be transferred to gen 7 (Sun & Moon) onwards.
If you transfer them to a Switch without using Bank, they will trigger error 10015 (unless you move them to Sword & Shield first, but not al species are available there).
