Why can't a Conkeldurr be traded without a nickname?

Question

"Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Conkeldurr cannot be traded without a nickname in Pokémon Black and White." -Bulbapedia

I don't see anything wrong with Conkeldurr's name.

Also, what other Pokemon can't you trade without a nickname? (Cofagrigus)

Halcyonnic, what did you edit?

My guess is nothing, him just wanting to try out his powers.

(Cofagrius) cant be traded because of the (***) part i know that for sure.

I still laugh at COfagRIGUS!

Answer 1

Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Conkeldurr cannot be traded without a nickname in Pokémon Black and White. It's for the 'offensive' part of the name. Below is a list of pokemon I've found that also can't be traded without a nickname. I hope this helps!

1. Co***rigus
2. Conkeldurr
3. Bulbasaur
4. Ivysaur
5. Venusaur
6. Sharpedo
7. Croconaw
8. Nosepass
9. Probopass
10. Froslass
11. Marshtomp
12. Skuntank

Apparently, sau is the german word for pig and it is said as an insult

Marshtomp?

"sht" is probably a shortened version of you know what. xD

what is con

"Con" isn't allowed because it's French for "idiot"
