Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

[DragonFreak]

Why would they be?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I heard that they are.

Plus, Ravioli is probably censored, too.

Shazam
Penelope
HM Slave
Conan
Connor
Basement
Dirty
Bug
Sucks
Poof
Assassin
Rock

These are some few censored words.

 

[DragonFreak]

I wonder if TM Slave is blocked.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I think "Slave" is censored.

So is "Killer". And "Weed". And even "censor" itself.

BUT, "meth", "herpes", "marijuana", and "cocaine" are a-okay.

This censoring is beyond ridiculous.

Why would they be?

Viol means "rape" in French and "pik" is another word for a male genital in Dutch. I guess.

 

[Purple Yoshi]

Ohhhhh, different languages. I never thought about that, but I guess you're right.

Of course, they could have just made the censorship change with what language you selected for the game, but I dunno. That'd make too much sense.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Or just don't put the flipping censorship in the first place, ESPECIALLY when you're playing single player.

It sounds kind of crazy, but I guess Nintendo thought that young kids/10 year olds don't know those words. However, a lot of adults and teenagers play the game too, so naming their Pokemon that and sending it to an excited, young little trainer via Wonder Trade will most likely make that innocent kid say it everywhere: school, home, etc.

It really is ridiculous. Nintendo might want to revisit their censoring in the future.

Edit: Also, with the immature acts that have been going around the world today, kids probably DO know those words' meanings.

 

[DragonFreak]

Well said.

censoring is beyond ridiculous.

What? I was seriously going to name my Meloetta "Violin".

 

[Pokemon DP]

I managed to nickname my Ditto 'Sex Bomb' by using the accented 'e'. I wonder if some little kid picked it up when I sent it through wonder trade.

 

[DragonFreak]

That's terrible. Funny as heck, but terrible.

 

[Master Crash]

I hear a lot of stuff about people getting poor wondertraded pokes from japanese players, but most of the stuff i get tend to be alright.
