This is an incomplete list of Pokémon species names which have an offensive keyword in them and consequently cannot be received from the Global Trading system if a nickname was not given from the person who uploaded it. However, even an un-nicknamed Pokémon with an offensive keyword can be submitted and received from another game which does not have the offensive keyword registered in its coding.
Warning: Potentially offensive keywords are underlined The different European localizations share the same words banned, even if said keyword is not generally used in the localized language for instance, the Norwegian 'sau' is banned in the English version too. However, there are some keywords in the Japanese localization which are not banned, but became banned in the NTSC-US and EUR localizations.
Default English species names with offensive keywords:
1)Cofagrigus (error code for 'fag': 2)Conkeldurr (error code for 'con': 3)Bulbasaur (error code for 'sau': 4)Ivysaur 5)Venusaur 6)Sharpedo (error code for 'pedo': 7)Croconaw 8)Nosepass (error code for 'ass': 9)Probopass 10)Froslass 11)Marshtomp (error code for 'ars': 12)Skuntank (error code for 'kunt':
Default French species names with offensive keywords:
1) Coconfort [Kakuna] 2) Lokhlass [Lapras] 3) Ohmassacre [Eelektross] 4) Cliticlic [Klinklang] (error code for 'clit':
Default German species names with offensive keywords:
1) Cerapendra [Scolipede] (error code for 'rape': 2) Safcon [Metapod] 3) Hutsassa [Amoongus] 4) Massko [Grovyle]

How is Con and Sau offensive in English? So, if you don't nickname them you can't trade them over GTS? I'm kind of confused.

So, if you don't nickname them you can't trade them over GTS? I'm kind of confused. You can put it on offer, but somebody else won't be able to receive it or even see it on the GTS if its contains a keyword which is in their blacklist. For example, you could send over a non nicknamed Cofagrigus, but somebody with a NTSC-US copy of Black and White would never see it. A person with the Japanese version would be able to trade and obtain your Cofagrigus though because 'fag' isn't blocked on the Japanese version (I don't think so anyway). However, if somebody asks for that Cofagrigus (e.g. Magikarp for Cofagrigus) and you select it from a box the game will give you an error code and prevent you from trading it away regardless of the nationality of that player's game. How is Con and Sau offensive in English? They're not, but those words being blocked is to do with the European blacklist being international (can't check with NTSC-US unfortunately). Con is 'Cunt' in French and Sau apparently is Norwegian for fool/moron/idiot.

My grammar fails today (and why on Earth did I list French before English when I was trying to add them in alphabetical order :L). Another one: Shar pedo.

Wow Game Freak really screwed up here. That's a LOT of banned Pokémon. I hope they come up with a way to patch this, because supposedly the words with the banned strings are on the server. All they have to do is remove the filters from the server... right?

I guess. The games only refuses the keywords if they're alone on the nickname.

A possible new name: ツチニン (Nincada's japanese name). That name romanized is Tsuchinin, which includes the word "hinin" (ヒニン), but I'm not sure if "チニン" (chinin) counts as a banned name in GTS' servers. Could someone confirm this?

Major update:
It looks like the server has already been patched. English non-nicknamed Cofagrigus have started appearing on the GTS and I was able to trade away a "Conkeldurr" (though I'm not sure if this was already possible).

Hmm, that surely answers Blaziken's question. ;D

Hmm, that surely answers Blaziken's question. ;D Yes, I wonder the Generation IV GTS wasn't patched before (regarding Pokémon with the wrong picture, maybe that's just a client based problem?). They tended to make regular adjustments to the server though, for instance do you remember the 'technical fault' where legendary Pokémon were unable to be traded on the GTS until Nintendo patched the servers, including Phione? It affected Pokémon Battle Revolution's random Wifi too, preventing you from battling with legendary Pokémon. However, I saw a Pokémon with the wrong picture in Generation V's GTS, about a week after Black and White came out. Has anybody else on these forums seen such a Pokémon in Generation V?

- As for the word filter: Well, I'm glad that it got fixed, it seemed inconvenient that you couldn't deposit certain Pokémon just because they coincidentally contain a bad string. I'm not sure why it's even necessary; I've used the GTS countless times in Generation IV and have never once seen a Pokémon with vulgar words in it. Maybe Nintendo is just more paranoid now for some reason. (Then again, someone thought it was a good idea to mess up the mail system since Ruby/Sapphire by using limited vocabulary...)
EDIT: Since Spanish and Italian Pokémon names are all the same as English ones, I wonder if those two languages have/had bad words that affected some Pokémon...
- As for the wrong picture: I've seen this lots of times in all Generation IV games, but I have yet to see it in a Generation V game. Then again, I haven't used the GTS much yet. But it does baffle me as to why a glitch since Diamond and Pearl was never fixed. Surely they know about it?
- As an aside: I would like to see Nintendo not allow people ask for Level 1 Reshirams and whatnot. This is impossible to trade as of now, so anybody who asks for these types of Pokémon will never receive anything. (And yes, once I saw someone offer a shiny Nidoking and asked for a Reshiram Level 10 or under... way to boast about your shiny Pokémon without risk of losing it.)
