Trading pokemon between emulated and legit games

Hello--this might be a stupid question, but is there any penalty or anything for trading pokemon between one legit and one emulated game? I have a legit copy of Heartgold and want to trade pokemon back and forth between Platinum on my 3ds before I reset my Heartgold file. I want to reset my HG copy, so I was planning on moving some of my pokemon onto Platinum and trade them back after I reset HG. I just want to make sure nothing happens to my HG pokemon that I've had for 10+ years (and that it's actually possible to trade between the two). Thank you!
