I was wondering if it's possible to trade from Pearl to say Sapphire or any of the other earlier generation games for that matter If anyone knows whether or not this is possible, it would be greatly appreciated if you told me

Sadly it isn't. Once you trade Pokemon from a GBA game through Pal Park, it will be in your Diamond and Pearl game permanently. I guess when you consider the delay between the Japanese release of Emerald and the Japanese release of Diamond and Pearl; Game Freak worried more about preparing for the future than allowing one to migrate to the past.
Alternatively, perhaps they tried cross trading and weren't successful so opted to keep it out.
Well, actually Pisaro I think is just trying to fill in that Iibui wants to trade back, though is giving the general answer in case he is wrong. He did basically say what you did.
Anyway, the simple answer is no, you can't. This is likely for the same reasons you couldn't trade from G/S/C to R/S/E, which I explain below (I really hate it when I have too much time on my hands).
Whenever a new generation of pokemon is created, several changes to the hex values are created. These include new hex values, such as x00 for not shiny and x01 for shiny, x00 for male and x01 for female, or x00 for normal and x01 for pokerus. in G/S/C. In R/S/E values such Also you might find expanded hex values, such as a move from 8bit (x00) in the first and second generations to 16bit (x0000) in the third and fourth generations. This change alone made it virtually impossible without months of extra coding to trade from the first and second generations to the third and fourth, backwards anyway. This additional hex values exploited glitches when trading from G/S/C to R/B/Y.
In your particular case you would have to deal with filtering new pokemon, new moves, new items, and a bunch of other stuff when trading backwards, all of which was never done when trading from G/S/C to R/B/Y (from what I've gathered you would no longer be able to use the PC in R/B/Y).

ZamFights Beta should come around Christmas, now.
Spoiler Alert:ZamFights Progress

ZamFights, a Pokemon Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by Pokezam's Webmaster Freezewarp, continues its development into Alpha 7, where you can trade Pokemon with a global trade station like feature and battle other trainers. Several bugs were also fixed.
Alpha 9, now in development, will feature numerous events and locations to go to, that is up to Fuschia. It will also feature the new, interactive map, numerous minor features, and an altered look.
Alpha 9 should come around Thanksgiving, and Alpha 10, or the public Beta, should come around Christmas.
Alpha 8 Preview
I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island!
There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?
