I had a problem with the name Violet too; I was catching Scatterbug to Wondertrade as Vivillion, and I wanted them all to have a name starting with V. I had also tried to name my Dedenne Boo Boo, but apparently that's offensive. Yet I could name a Panpour BUTTZ

looks like game freak wouldn't care if you try to uppercase the letters even if it sounds offensive to begin with

this issue has been addressed, spike is similar to spyk which would mean racist in another language

Sorry. But it makes you wonder how other ones pass thru. I remember a guy on the wt forum saying he got a poke named jews did 9/11. How'd that pass thru, you gotta wonder.

oh * shrugs *, my guess is the one who send that would have probably made some editing to the names, i really can't see how something inappropriate can pass through the gts tbh
 
I've got a wonder traded Pokemon that was a swear word with two letters switched around. Why is that allowed but Spike isn't? It's kind of silly.

The censor only picks up the word if it's spelt directly. Which is why some people can avoid the censor by using things like symbols, accented letters, and spell it 'improperly'. It's why the censorship is so sensitive too (to words like 'Spicy' 'Basement' etc) because it detects the slur/swear/bad word in it.

Best example: I bred the hell out of Diantha's Ralts so I could get one with a Modest nature. When I got it and EV trained it, I nicknamed it "HitIer" and the idea is that I looks like a lowercase L, so it will appear as "Hitler".

So I can't name my Charmander Ashton... WTF? It accepts Ash perfectly fine, but not when 'ton' is added to it.
Why GF, why?

it wouldn;t allow me to name a Meowth "BooBoo" which is my cat's nickname in real life :haha:

So I had to use the big zero charachter in the next page as the OO's in Boo Boo

I should have expected this, but I wasn't able to name my Beedrill 'Buzzkill'. It's a shame, really, since I was extremely excited about the nickname. While I obviously understand why, I still wait for the day when I can have a 'Buzzkill' on my team!

i think i get the reason, looking from the name ashton- if you try to look closely at the word, there is a hidden word there that is not appropriate

Ashton - problem solved

How is that allowed? You can have a word with 'gay' in it, but not spike? I understand why you can't have spike, but why do they allow gay? I'm not saying gay is bad, but that usually isn't something that is often allowed within games.

Because gay means happy?
