GEN 7 - Compilation of Events that change OT when Traded

[theSLAYER]

Hello all!

In case you are unaware, it appears that if you have invalid (or even mixed character sets) in your OT,
traded Pokemon of such OT will experience an OT change.

Such Pokemon of Gen 6 will change to language variations of "Sun." (with the period), based on it's language tag,
and Pokemon received in Gen 7 can be "Sun." or "Moon."

Example of the change:

List of known cases:

	Games	Pokemon	OT	(Assumed) Reason
	ORAS	Korean Shiny Xerneas	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection
	ORAS	Korean Shiny Yveltal	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection
	ORAS	Korean Zygarde (WC ID 1062)	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection
	ORAS	Korean Zygarde (WC ID 1064)	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection
	XYORAS	Korean Anime Gardevoir	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection
	XYORAS	Korean Anime Gengar	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection

	XYORAS	Korean Anime Mawile	XY&Z	" & " Character not in selection

	ORAS	Japanese P-Cafe Pikachu	Ｐ－Caｆｅ	" Ｐ－ " & " ｆｅ " and " Ca ", are different character sets.
	SM	Original Rally Mew	２０ＴＨ☆	" ☆ " Character not in selection
	USUM	English Shiny Tapu Bulu	Ula'ula	" ' " Character not in selection

Exceptions:
Japanese ＸＹ＆Ｚ events aren't affected, despite " ＆ " isn't a valid character. (different ＆from & used by the Korean XY&Z)
Singapore's P-Cafe Pikachu, because the " P-Cafe " are all valid latin characters.

Do report events that are affected, and I'll add it to the list.

These can not only change to Sun., but to Moon. as well. Of course it updates depending on your language.

It'll be "Sun." only, if they're from Gen 6.

"Sun." or "Moon.", if from Gen 7 (I actually explained this already) XDD

Experimenting with trading again, here's my guess (until proven otherwise)


I reckon there's 3 rules:

1. Light blue - SM Origin <-trade-> SM receiver = OT reflects origin, based on origin language
2. Light green - USUM Origin <-trade-> USUM receiver = OT reflects origin, based on origin language
3. Pink - SM <-trade-> USUM [or vice versa] = OT Sun variant, based on origin language

The way rule 3 (or what I'll like to call crossing the Ultra/Non-ultra OTxReceiver barrier) acts is though both sets of games are different generations...

Also, it appears the 'Korean' interaction is real, however I personally reckon that the report from the Redditor came from them observing rule 2 jumping to rule 3
(if you take a look at my table, the last 3 trades were the same Mew, and the OT changed when it crossed the Ultra -> Non-ultra OTxReceiver barrier. )

That means there's likely yet another invalid character or combination in Korean OTs (lol)
I think there's enough trades here for you to test and prove/disprove.

(And before anyone jumps in, yes, some origins are not possible for the events. I'm testing what happens to a mon with said origin with invalid OTs.)
