The names of unnicknamed Pokémon will be made to match the formatting of their species name in their language of origin in the Generation VI games. This is relevant for two main cases: | The Generation I to III games do not track whether or not a Pokémon is nicknamed, only what the Pokémon's current name is; from Generation IV onward, there is an internal flag that marks whether a Pokémon is nicknamed or not, in order to track whether Pokémon from a different language games have nicknames. | ||

When a Pokémon is transported from a Generation I or II game, if its current name is its species name in the language of the Generation I or II game, it is treated as being unnicknamed. The Pokémon's name is checked against its species name after applying any character conversions (e.g. after converting <code><sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub></code> to <code>P</code>). The Pokémon's name is considered to match if is is either in ALLCAPS or the capitalization normally used in later generations (but any other capitalization is treated as a nickname). Otherwise, its current name is permanently treated as a nickname. | |||
Several Pokémon have {{wp|diacritic}} or {{wp|Typographic ligature|ligature}} characters in their French names, but these are not used in the French Generation I and II games. Due to [[List of glitches (Generation VII)#Poké Transporter name encoding glitch|an oversight]], Poké Transporter expects the Pokémon's French names to include these characters in the Generation I and II games, so if an unnicknamed Pokémon is transported from a French Generation I or II game, its species name (as formatted in Generation I and II) will permanently become its nickname. As a workaround, if the Pokémon's nickname in the Generation I or II game is set to a [[#Censored words|censored word]], its nickname will be removed when it is transported to Pokémon Bank, causing it to become an unnicknamed Pokémon with the correct name. | |||

Unnicknamed Pokémon with special characters in their species names were not recognized as being unnicknamed in version 1.2 due to improper checking of the special characters. This was corrected in version 1.3. | |||

* In version 1.2, if an unnicknamed {{p|Farfetch'd}} was transported from an English Generation I game, its name would turn into <code>FARFETCH D</code> and be treated as a nickname (since this is different from its species name).
