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..]
Seriously, they're not.
*Current should be changed to *Latest to avoid confusion over what specific box the error is referring to, because that's where the bottleneck originates.
Simply changing the name was not enough, and clearing the box all-together added the additional error: 'Invalid: HT Language is missing.' So following the details in the error message to simply change the current trainer name to a different name was not helpful.
The only thing that fixed it was changing the name to '!', like you suggested, which is not detailed at all in the error message.
When people are asking for help, that's all they need. They shouldn't be entering into some mentally abusive, derogatory, invisible contract where they help you fulfill your need to look/feel superior to others (...on the internet...) in exchange for advice. You could've given the help without making up reasons to look down on people who are seeking answers.
