Correct, because the PCs in the Pokemon centers can communicate with Bill’s PC where your mons are stored. Said communication likely happens over the internet, and since this is 1996 we’re talking about, it’s very possibly not encrypted.
The lack of encryption is exactly why Porygon Z exists. A bad transfer along with a dubious disk and sure enough, your Porygon 2 gets a virus. And that’s not even 1996, but Gen IV.
