===Generation VIII onward===
===Generation VIII and IX===
All Generation VIII and IX core series games use the native [[Nintendo Switch]] text entry system. Games played in Western languages or Japanese can use characters from the English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, and Symbol keyboards. Games played in Japanese can also use the Japanese keyboard, but {{wp|kanji}} conversion is not available. Games played in Korean or Chinese have access only to the keyboard of that language and the Symbol keyboard; additional characters can be entered by manipulating the {{wp|predictive text}} suggestions. (Note that the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese keyboards include access to a basic English keyboard.) The only character that cannot be entered from the keyboard is the at sign.

The special face characters, arrows, and sleeping symbol are no longer supported in Generation VIII; any instances of these characters in the nickname or [[Original Trainer]] of a Pokémon transferred from an earlier generation are replaced by spaces. This makes it possible to have a Pokémon whose nickname or Original Trainer name consists entirely of spaces, which cannot normally be entered after Generation I. Additionally, the fullwidth characters used in games played in Japanese and Chinese (including letters, digits, and punctuation) are replaced with their halfwidth forms.
