{{incomplete|section|For Gen V, whether the replacement OT depends on the Pokémon's language of origin or the game's language.}}
If a Pokémon's nickname contains a prohibited word, the Pokémon's nickname will be erased, reverting to the default species name in that Pokémon's language of origin. (Since the Generation I and II games do not track language of origin, Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games have their language of origin set to the transferring game's language.) Poké Transporter informs the user when this occurs.
If a Pokémon's nickname contains a word which is prohibited by the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system's filter, the Pokémon's nickname will be erased, reverting to the default species name in that Pokémon's language of origin. (Since the Generation I and II games do not track language of origin, Pokémon transferred from the Virtual Console games have their language of origin set to the transferring game's language.) Poké Transporter informs the user when this occurs.


For unknown reasons, since at least Version 1.4,{{fact}} the filter is no longer applied to {{wp|kana}}, despite being applied previously.<ref>[https://kohada.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/poke/1388089906/955 5ch] (27 December 2013): User reporting that 「せいしゃ」, the [[Original Trainer]] of one of the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation V)|Trade for Evolution! Pokémon}}, was censored by Poké Transporter.</ref>
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] has a global filter (that applies regardless of region and language) and an individual filter for each region and language pair (for example, US English and UK English have different filter lists); all of these differ from the Generation V lists.


If a Pokémon's original Trainer contains a word which is prohibited by the filter, the original Trainer will be replaced by a generic name, and Poké Transporter will also inform the user. The generic name depends on the transferring game and the game's/Pokemon's language. (As a result, the Chinese OTs exist in the data of Poké Transporter but are not actually used.)
For unknown reasons, the set of word filters used differs depending on various factors:
* Since at least Version 1.5,{{fact}} when transferring out of a Generation V game in any language, only the Generation V filter (all languages combined) is used. As a result, the filter effectively only applies to Pokémon whose generation of origin is Generation III or IV.
** In at least Version 1.1, the 3DS's global filter applied when transferring out of Generation V.<ref>[https://kohada.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/poke/1388089906/955 5ch] (27 December 2013): User reporting that 「せいしゃ」, the [[Original Trainer]] of one of the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation V)|Trade for Evolution! Pokémon}}, was censored by Poké Transporter.</ref>
** In at least Version 1.1, the Generation V filter would trip even if the filtered word was only contained in the name.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/2u9de0/shiro_trainer_names_on_my_pokemon_can_someone/</ref>
* When transferring out of a Virtual Console game in any language other than Japanese, the global filter is used together with the individual filter matching the language of Pokémon Bank. The individual filters matching the language of the Virtual Console game, the language of Poké Transporter, or the system language do not appear to be used.{{fact}}
* When transferring out of a Virtual Console game in Korean, the Korean language filter is used even if the language of Pokémon Bank is not set to Korean.
* Since at least Version 1.4,{{fact}} no filters at all apply when transferring out of a Virtual Console game in Japanese.
