And you thought Pokémon nickname censorship was bad

Your move, Gamefreak.

Of course, given Starcraft's (formerly?) large South Korean audience, you have to expect things like this to happen.

  1. Just watch North Korea throw a childlike paddy at seeing this just like they throw a paddy at almost anything.

  2. Maybe it's like a weird joke or something. Do you think stuff like Kim Jong Un and Kim Il Sung is banned too?

    1. You're not allowed to go on Pro-NK sites on South Korean internet and you are arrested if you promote it

  3. I dunno... I still find it pretty amusing that one of the censored words in X & Y is in the first Gym Leader's name which ironically is a bad word in French especially seeing where the game takes place.

    1. Well, technically, it contains a bad French word (rape), but it isn't itself. Unless "Viola" as a bad word is a European French thing, which I seriously doubt.
