Censoring the ability to make a name only you can see is wild. I could get why they would do it for the Pokémon because of online trading, but not being able to call Gary FuckFace is a slap in the face to the older fan base they drastically really on for income.
The charitable (and honestly realistic) take is that the word filter check they added was just slapped on to any name entry field since it all uses the same system anyways. Why bother trying to carve out specific exceptions to something almost nobody cares about in the first place, assuming they even wanted to?
For the record, $20 for these ports is a crazy ask, especially when the only online feature being added is Pokemon Home support. Modern Nintendo is really depressing, and it's really difficult to convince people not to consume product because of how locked in Nintendo fanboys are.
Isnt the nentdork fanbase slightly less cucked than the Disney baby fanbase?
Being a sane Nintendo fan and watching everything get more and more dumbed down is a painful experience. Especially when the drones still eat it all up. I'll never forgive them for what they did to the Thousand Year Door remake's script.
Oh the libtard scale they’re better than Disney and Harry Potter adults but that’s not really saying much
I’ve never played the switch version, but in the original games the trainer name shows up on the Pokemon information. If online trading is allowed, that may be why the censoring is applied. They probably don’t want a kid getting a traded pokemon with an obscene OT name attached.
Even if you played online, god forbid I call myself neegger
