No. Pokemon Black and White have new Pokemon that the past games' engines cannot recognize. Even if you battle with Pokemon from previous generations, they might be loaded with moves from the new generation.

yes,you can battle with any Pokemon game that's for the ds/dsi/the new 3DS.
No for some reason the makers of Pokemon this time have made it so you can not battle with older games such as pearl, platinum, dimond, or heart gold or soul silver.
Unfortunately, in Pokemon Black and White, you cannot interact, (trade, battle etc.), with the other versions, (Platinum, Silver, Emerald etc.). only with Black and White is where you can interact.
I think pokemon Black is better than the both of them. Still, I liked pokemon Platinum.
yes you can on pokemon w b at the pokemon center there is a globe witch you can transfer pokemon to planim or other pokemon games as long as the pokemon game you are giving to is at the transfer room :D
