    Oh, there's more than 32 words, believe me. It also depends on the word combinations. Lapras, was a no-no as well as talking about specific moves/attks. Hmmm not even sure you can say "attack" or "knocked out" but you can say "KO".... go figure

    Ah yes, that’s a thing across multiple Pokemon games... they want to disallow bad words, but the filters they use end up including many common and harmless words, even including Pokemon names in some games.

    They've fixed it to some extent in several games, but took them some time tho.

    I’ve found that many words are filtered because the last letters of one word and the first letters of the following words spell an inappropriate word or the word contains an inappropriate word (eg. assume, etc).

    Ha, what we almost need is a list of all the words we are not allowed to use, that way we know ahead of time and don't get banned or worse. (I bet that's got be a looooong list, lol)
