In Generation VI, I was trying to nickname my Delibird "Pinga" but it was found to be a censored word, but I'm not sure about Generation V. --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 08:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

For the record, "pinga" is a curse word in Spanish. [[User:Magnemagnemite|Magnemagnemite]] ([[User talk:Magnemagnemite|talk]]) 16:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
:Hm... I looked it up, but could you tell me, for the purpose of the page, is it an actual word in Spanish or is it more along the lines of slang?

:Wouldn't it be easier (in the long term) to manage if we just had one page for everything, and then divide it into sections by generation? There's a [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f724/should-nintendo-gamefreak-change-censor-limits-166944/ forum thread] about this, considering that in Gen VI nicknames are checked against ''all'' languages and not just the one you're actually playing in -- e.g. you can't assign names like "Conner" or [[Viola]] in an English game, because they contain letter combinations on the French censor list. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 01:44, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 
== Another censored word in Gen VI I don't see on here ==
 
Mussolini seems to be a censored word in the English Generation VI games. It's probably pertaining to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini Benito Mussolini], the leader of Fascist Italy during World War II. Can someone see if this was censored in Gen V as well along with Italian versions of Gen VI? [[User:Fluffy Clouds|Fluffy Clouds]] ([[User talk:Fluffy Clouds|talk]]) 03:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
:The contents of this page were taken from the game data: there are no missing words. Generation VI is not listed here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:54, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 
== Beaver Is Censored ==
 
I had a team in Pearl, all named after the object they're based off. (Piplup - Penguin, Budew - Rose, Starly - Starling, Zubat - Bat, Shinx - Lion and Bidoof - Beaver) and when I moved them up to Black and White then X and Y, all kept their nicknames except Beaver, who was a Bibarel at the time and thus named Bibarel. And I can no longer re-nickname it, having been from two generations prior.
 
I did both transfers at once, so I didn't notice if it was Unova or Kalos that censored the name, but the word is banned. Which is dumb. A beaver is an animal, regardless of whatever meaning perverted teens have given it in recent years (it's slang for a woman's... anatomy).

== Two more censored words ==
 
I remember some people trying to name their Pokémon "Sobchak" and "Spice" but being unable to do so. I think the banned words within them must be the acronym for "son of a (female dog)" and the ethnic slur for Hispanic people. I don't remember the generation, it was either the fifth or the sixth. Can anyone comfirm/decomfirm these two? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 05:27, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 
== What is wrong with Bulbasaur line? ==
 
A [[Bulbasaur_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Trivia|Bulbasaur trivia]] mentions that it needs a nickname to be traded via the GTS in Gen V. Same for Ivysaur and Venusaur. However there is no more info there nor on the B/W page, and here I don't see Bulbasaur mentioned. So what is wrong with those 3 Pokémon?

== Surprised nobody mentions the Scunthorpe problem ==
 
Surprised the wiki on censored words never mentioned about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem Scunthorpe problem], a situation where the system can flag banned words contained in a word or sentence (so if it contains a substring of any prohibited word, would flag it). A mario maker folks who title the level experienced it and posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/c99xni/this_should_come_as_no_surprise_but_nintendos/ it on reddit].
 
Yeah, I mean, this is actually a difficult situation, assuming it was using a regex, and pays attention to spaces and not flag banned words that were separated by spaces (like yo'''shi t'''ime, example from Black60Dragon), then it is very easy for anyone to circumvent the word filter, but at the same time increases the chance of the word filter catching it.
 
And yes, the act of bypassing filters (creatively) have been attempted on license plates, and they block hundreds of variations of it. <small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ghb}} ([[User talk:Ghb|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ghb|contribs]]) ''</small>
:Gen 5's filter is very dumb and only checks for exact matches of the entire string. You can include individual censored words, as long as your whole name doesn't exactly match the censored word.
:It wasn't until Gen 6, when they started using the hardware's in-built filters, that the filter started to do partial string matches and use RegEx. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:25, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 
== Japanese list not fully correct? ==
 
Just tested ファック ("f*ck") on Japanese copies of W/W2, and it was allowed through both times. However, セックス ("sex") was blocked, so it doesn't have anything to do with hiragana vs. katakana, or English loanwords, or sokuon. This suggests that the Japanese list in this article has at least some inaccuracies in it. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 03:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
