hehrerh Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Per the attached photo and Pokemon - what is the problem that needs addressing? The error is: Invalid: Current handler cannot be past gen OT for transferred specimen. This happened on transferred Pokemon after batch editing to modify all OT names. However, it seems like the OT name can legally be the same as an OT from a previous generation pre-transfer. After all, it's just a text string, isn't it?

theSLAYER Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 [Information outdated, follow this instead] It's quite literal.Current handler cannot be past gen OT for transferred specimen. I've highlighted the error.Latest (not OT) Handler refers to the Current handler who is holding on to the Pokemon presently, that isn't the Original Trainer. The error message is basically saying "Hey, how can the present guy be the same guy as the guy from previous generation. that makes no sense yo" for OP, change that to "!" (your present trainer name) (I was using a female gender save, don't mind it) [seriously, all the details are in the error message..] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had any problem using Pokemon that throw this error in online play, but it must be best practice to keep this squared away in case Nintendo does make it part of the hax checks going forward Edited February 10, 2017 by hehrerh Moved edit to separate reply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehrerh Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 @theSLAYER, is there a way to modify this field using batch editor? Closest I could find was .CurrentHandler, which only accepts a number. I'm not sure what it changes, but it's not Latest (not OT) Handler. Thanks!

theSLAYER Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 43 minutes ago, Winter_1st said: Is it the same error? (do show what is the exact error) Is your save name Winter, and gender male? (I can't determine, since you've hid the top part that shows trainer name) did you try to set and view again? (it's important. setting then viewing may update the legality) Also make sure Options>Set to Save>Modify PKM info is selected. [why do I get a feeling that is Kazo's Cute Charm Clefable?] {also, using Batch editor in the box, with .CurrentHandler = 1 will likely resolve the issue; it worked for me, in the example above} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbeast5656 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Its still not working. Look at this. 701 - Hawlucha - 2B2399DEEDF4.pk7.bak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The green background indicates the current handler. It can be switched by clicking on the groupbox that contains the desired current handler. PKHeX automatically fixes it for you unless you're doing something stupid like having the same OT/ID/SID across multiple savegames/generations.
