[Not a bug]Cloning and Teleportation Bug Occurred When Accidentally Opened in Older Episode

[Slippery 2]

EDIT: Post was originally about thinking one of my Pokemon's OT and ID were changed from this bug.  Many of the event Pokemon got their own unique OT and ID numbers with the new episode.  Thanks to Seki108 for pointing this out.

 

Hey, I have a question about one of my Pokemon accidentally being cloned.  I am currently on episode 16, but accidentally ran the game in episode 12 (I archive the game's previous builds to act as an 'update library', and wasn't really looking when I was opening the file) and got a message stating something along the lines of the 'the game is unstable', followed by an automated save restart.  Upon seeing this, I immediately closed the game after it saved and restarted it with the appropriate episode.  The game was originally saved outside of the Obsidian Daycare, but teleported me to the outside of the abandoned Yureyu building.  I was (thankfully) able to exit out through the Underground Railnet like normal and though it be a good idea to see how my box'd mons turned out after this bug.  Looking through my box, everything appeared to be back to normal, but a few of the pokemon I had in box 35 were cloned.  I am using the 'save file shared box' mod if that has any contribution to the problem.  But I am curious about what might have caused this, or if there anything else that I should be worried about even though the rest of my 'mons were unaffected, my bag is unchanged, and everything appears to be running stably?  Thanks.

Were some of them event mons with ID now all Zeros?  I know in ep 16, most of them have their trainer ID set to all zeros; don't know about the OT though?

No.  Looking at it, the only thing that was affected was my happiny.  The OT it is listing is 'Serena', while the ID is '14199'.  Obviously neither of those 2 are for my trainer.

The OT is actually normal for the event Happiny, from what I've seen on WT.  A few events have set OT's.

 

Sorry I couldn't help.

Hmm, odd.  Looking at the Happiny that I've obtained on my other files.  I'm always listed as their OT and have my ID.  Granted, they've all been gained in episode 15 (this is my first 'new' play through with the new episode), so maybe it got its own original OT and ID in episode 16?  

 

And don't sweat about 'not being able to help'.  I'm normally a pretty paranoid person, so at the very least, having someone the talk to about this and tell me how crazy I'm being might be all the help I need

Probably changed for some in 16.  When I started a Reborn Hardcore play through a few days ago, my Budew's OT was set to the flower shop's name, not mine like in 15.  I think the ID is random though, since both of my Happiny from WT have different ID's from you, just the same OT.

 

Edit: Same thing with event Mime Jr.:  Same OT, different ID

Checked some of the other event mons I've gotten, and ya, seems like many of them did get their own unique OTs.  Still beg the question on how Happiny got cloned though...

 

But anyway, thanks for helping me out with this.  You're awesome dude

No problem.  Glad I could help a little.  

 

I can't make any solid guesses as to the cloning.  Maybe MDE or Njab will notice this thread eventually and can find that out.

That's the Shared PC Box mod. I used it to clone some Pokemon a couple days ago. It's not a bug.

I've never used shared pc box mod but it sounds like this mod caused the cloning. Teleportation was caused by map differences
