There's more than one problem with the nickname system in Pokemon X and Y, and it's because of a tradition that's been carried on since Pokemon Red and Blue. Pokemon that have been received from trades or through transfering from previous versions cannot be renamed. The most annoying and prevelent issue this causes is that Pokemon being transfered are now plagued with capitalized names in versions that now no longer capitalize everything, so you can have a good amount of Pokemon and then a few that stand out called "FREEZER" or "BLAZE". Not only is that highly annoying, but it can be much worse. Certain Pokemon can be nicknamed very unruly and inappropiate things, such as the Flabebe above. Nintendo/Game Freak do have a censoring system implemented, but even that can be bypassed.Characters can easily be replaced with others resulting in nicknames that even a child could figure out. With the introduction of Wonder Trading, a Pokemon with a bad nickname can easily be traded to another person at random almost any time of the day. This Pokemon could be something that child has always wanted in their game, but to their and their parent's dismay, it's stuck with a horribly wreched nickname because it cannot be renamed because it was not originally owned by that child.

Not only is the censorship system bypassable, but it's also too strict in places it doesn't need to be. You can't nickname a Charmander "Spice", a rather common word easilly associable with a Fire-type. Any Pokemon cannot be nicknamed "Violet" an extremely common word that is censored because a portion of "Violet" contains a foul word in French. This might be understandable, but it's very strict and oppressing in an RPG, a video game genre about choice and freedom. If you ask me, the solution to every Pokemon Trainer's problem's is simple. Remove the censor and the inabilty to nickname Pokemon. You might say it's bad to remove the censor but let me explain why it'll only help those who don't want it and won't hurt anyone else. Pokemon's nicknames are already not displayed online during Pokemon battles. Instead of nicknames, their species name are displayed. This concept can easily be applied to all forms of Pokemon interaction with other players. When a Pokemon is traded, either regularly or through Wonder Trade or the Global Trade Station, it's nickname could be erased and reverted to it's species name no matter what the nickname is. Nicknames never need to be displayed to other trainers, so censoring them on the player's own game when it could easily be made that only the trainer sees their own Pokemon's nicknames is unneccessary.

I hope you take all of this into consideration and sign this petition for Nintendo/Game Freak to release a patch for Pokemon X and Y that will remove the censor system, make the game not display nicknames over any form of interactivty, erase nicknames when trades are done, allow trainers to rename Pokemon that they are not the original owner of, and then continue these new changes in future installments to the franchise.
