Switch Remakes Shield Profane Nicknames in Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

The Switch ports of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen block certain profane nicknames for rivals/characters, automatically replacing them with generic names. Words like ‘dick’, ‘pussy’, ‘shit’, and a slur are censored (often becoming Gary or Janne), while milder terms such as ‘hell’ and ‘damn’ aren’t changed. Nintendo and Game Freak appear to censor profanity to avoid offensive content from being easily shared via screenshots, meaning players will get a default name instead of their chosen insult.
