==Just a suggestion==

Does anyone think maybe this should be made collapsible? We've got the warning at the top of the page but that won't stop anyone from accidentally glancing down. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I think it must mean something in one of the game languages too. Look, there are no other words from languages that don't release games. Also, its meaning is probably too weak for it to be censored. I'm sure that what they meant is NOT the Norwegian word for idiot. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

:[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sau Urban Dictionary says]: "German for 'dirty pig'. Normally an insult." Though I don't know a thing of German; I'm unsure how strong an insult it is, but at least it's a language the game is in, so that's probably it.

::First and foremost "Sau" is the German word for "sow" (female pig), but it's also used as an insult (in this case it could be translated as "dirty pig"). The censorship is a bit ironic because there are enough Pokémon based on pigs that can be female and would deserve the name "Sau" without a doubt.

In my experience, it's usually an adjective meaning dumb or stupid or a person fitting that description.  Unless the definition you have is a France thing.--[[User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 02:10, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

:Nowadays, the word is mostly used to design an idiot though. [[User:InvocK|InvocK]] 11:42, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Why are all those accented and umlauted characters in lowercase while the rest of the word is uppercase? I'm just assuming you guys put "ENCULER" and "ENCULéR" because no one knows the correct way to do an uppercase accented É (Alt+0201). And yes, the game has those letters in uppercase form. So to those who can edit it, fix them using your computer's native character map. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:That's how they are stored in the game data; all uppercase excepted accented characters. They are case insensitive though, so I wouldn't object to changing all the words to uppercase. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I feel that ALLCAPS is the most case-neutral way of putting it, especially since some words like "F.U.C.K." and "SS" require ALLCAPS rather than lowercase letters. Also, it raises the question of how we would format words like "JESUSSUCKS". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

As requested by MisterE13, I come to help on translating some of the words lacking their english equivalents :

* ''Couillon/Couillonne'' : Stupid boy/Stupid girl

:Please feel free to add these to the page yourself. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:39, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

| BAGASCIA Bitch

Yeah, something like that. I think I'll add "God is a pig", "God is a dog" and "God is a beast". [[User:SamuStar|SamuStar]] 08:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't know Korean. Neither does the friend of mine who extracted the words from the game. Anyway, [http://craxic.com/ripped.html here is the full list]. He tells me that there is very likely to be garbage data in there. I had someone who speaks Korean natively check the words out, but it is possible that some words were missed/some were added that shouldn't have been. Ideally someone with a Korean game would systematically manually try all of them, and add any from the list that should be here/remove any that shouldn't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:56, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

::I know Korean, and I have Korean BW, so I can spot check this for you guys. Some of them are definitely naughty words (ssibang for example). I'll  see if any other words are censored (like English swear words or Hangulized English words). -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 19:44, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

==Delete==

This should be deleted. This is not really encyclopedic matter. [[Mothim (Pokémon)|Mothim]] [[User:Wildgoose|will]] [[User talk:Wildgoose|rule]] [[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|all!]]-Wildgoose (and [[Dustox (Pokémon)|Dustox]] will too!) 13:44, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

:I disagree, this is a list for people to keep track of the names they can't use when naming their Pokémon, just like it says in the introduction to the article and list.

I added the missing German translations. It might seem a bit immature and unneccesary at first, but I think the whole censorship issue deserves a closer look. The German list includes Nazi-related terms and abbreviations that deserved further explanation (like KZ, SA and "Sieg Heil"). There are also words like "Schwanz": First and foremost it's the German word for "tail", but it's also a slang word for "penis". German translators have always tried to avoid using the word "Schwanz" and used more biological sounding words like "Rute" and "Schweif" when they translated moves like "Tail Whip" or "Iron Tail". Last but not least there are English words like "Bitch" and "Fuck" that might be used in German slang but are not actually part of the German language (as opposed to "Bastard", a word that is used in both languages). Maybe the translation column should be left blank for these words or there should be a note that these are not words of German origin. [[User:Perlgia|Perlgia]] 15:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

:Maybe "(not of German origin)" next to translation would be good. The language categorization is from the way they are divided in the game data, and those two words are with the German words. The way you did the other stuff you mentioned here seems fine to me. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I think we should add a list which shows all Pokémon that can't be traded while unnicknamed. That's handier for people so they can keep track of which Pokémon they should nickname if they're gonna trade. --[[User:Teddi'Ampha|<font color=#786824>'''Teddi'''</font color>]][[User:Teddi'Ampha|']][[User talk:Teddi'Ampha|<font color=#F8D030>'''Ampha'''</font color>]]

:I've been working on that [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon that cannot be traded without nicknames|here]] for a while.

Do we know that it is the exact same list in B2W2? No additions or removals? I could see if I could get the list again, but this is something we should consider before moving the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

So I assuming the flag for England was put because England = English. However, shouldn't we use a flag more commonly seen? More people are going to be more familiar with the UK and US flags then they are with the English flag. Oh, and don't attack me for saying this, I'm just suggesting this to make it easier for everyone. --[[User:HoennMaster|<font color="blue">Hoenn</font>]][[User talk:HoennMaster|<font color="green">Master</font>]] 03:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

:Well, I think the most neutral position to take is to put the flag of the country of origin, so I don't think it is fair to put the US flag. Template:Langtable also uses the English flag for English, and I think this is the most logical approach. If people don't recognize the flag, there is mouseover text (also, they should be able to recognize the fact that the words are in English). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

1. "Additionally, only four numerical digits may be included in any text entry field, although in Black 2 and White 2 only this restriction is removed for Box names only." kind of sounds better grammatically with the second "only" removed and/or the third "only" before "Box names" or "for".

::::::Would it sound better if it says "aside from the english list, german, italian, spanish and french words are also censored"?  Yeah I just got the US version and tried it out.  There's probably some more censored words aside from "bukkake" but I didn't have time to try out every word.  I don't think they have ways to extract data from the game yet.[[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|talk]]) 13:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I've added a preliminary list of censored words.  This list includes Dutch and English words, and some german and french as well.  With translations.  I'm pretty sure that there are plenty more german, spanish, french and italian words, perhaps portuguese too.[[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|talk]]) 17:02, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I recently caught an Aipom in X that I was going to nickname Spike (long story).  However, attempting to give it that nickname just made the message "Cannot use that nickname" (or similar) appear.  I know that the GTS and Wonder Trade use a name checksum to prevent profanity through, but what about this situation? It seems there IS a list of completely disallowed names, even within a single copy. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 15:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
