So, every time I launch PKHex, this shows up.

Exception Details:
System.IO.IOException: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

You can continue running PKHeX, but please report this error.
 

 

Can someone please help me and tell me what is happening?

Where are you reading the save from?

I am reading the saves from the saveDataBackup folder, using the default Save Manager via the Homebrew Launcher.

I needed to add more information.

Error usually implies there was a problem reading a file from the location, namely the SD card.

When PKHeX launches or opens the open file dialog, it looks for save files to detect the most recent file you may be wanting to load.

I can enhance the error message to spit out the filename that is screwing up, but you can always scan for bad filenames or copy the save file to your desktop and remove the SD card when booting PKHeX until the next release.

Shouldn't all error messages be trimmed down to at least "File reading went wrong, check log at {location} for detailed error report"?
Anyways, seems like an inexistent location/non-readable file
