Ritsuki's not a suitable name for a pokémon trainer

[Ritsuki]

So, the Pokémon Global Link website is now up. I decided to create an account to have access to the Dream World, but it seems that "Ritsuki" is an offensive name... I received this email :

Hello,

The screen name Ritsuki you have chosen has been deemed inappropriate for use on Pokemon.com. Please log in to Pokemon.com and edit your profile to input a new screen name. Please choose a screen name that would be appropriate for all ages.

Sincerely,
The Pokémon Company, Inc. USA

Am I dreaming ? (Dreaming in dream world, huh) I can't understand why my usual nickname is not appropriate. Am I the only one who got this message ? I hope this is just a bug...

EDIT : Oh, and that's totally off topic, but I'm going to Las Vegas this summer. Does someone have good addresses or good places to visit ? (It includes bars, casinos, restaurants, hotels, etc...)

[Slyakin]

LOL! I did not know that!

Did you choose Ritsuki as a name by total accident?

Eh? I'm Japanese and I've never heard of that slang before.

It could be a copyright thing, but Ritsuki is just a girls name. Not sure why it would get flagged? Maybe its a bug in that someone already took the nickname but its being reported as 'inappropriate'

 

[wyndcrosser]

Ritsuki is a known japanese name also.

Wynd

A girls name ? Seriously ? I thought it was a last name -_-. I might want to change my nickname now

Nope, definitely a girls name.

I would be shocked had that been an actual source and not Google Translate.

No real difference than if you were named Dick. Sure its slang for a penis, but it's a legitimate first name. Ritsuki isn't that weird a girls name. MY nick is a really weird Japanese last name though

By the way that's just a very 'accurate' translation.

cum here is the latin term and not the 'bad' thing. To ban that in Japanese for being 'bad' would be the equivalent of banning the word 'securities exchange' in English.

Honestly it's not weird at all.

 

[Ritsuki]

Ok, so now my nickname have a strange translation, plus it's a girl's name. I'm REALLY thinking about changing it.

 

[basher11]

i gotta say, your name sure is interesting NOW than before

I wish it wasn't weird. Hell even my bro doesn't use our last name when he makes telephone reservations. No one ever hears it correctly, IN JAPAN. He just uses his wife's maiden name because it's easier. I've had a few interviews where people get really confused at my name. They think I'm just stupid or something

 

[nryn99]

why change it? it still sounds good.

To be fair your name could be an
1) Interest bearing bond (cum interest! Haha its still funny in Latin... sorry)
2) A girl's name

Wait!!! Good news I did a google search on Ritsuki and came up with a guy. It's his last name so you're ok using it

Oh.. he's a male waiter at a schoolboy cafe................

You know maybe Nintendo did you a favor flagging it as inappropriate?

just to clarify things.... that was a joke
anyway... cum?? really?

 

[Goli]

This is why you don't put something you randomly picked up while watching animu or reading manga or something like that as your name. But I guess it's too late since probably half of the people here already did that.

As I said, it's Google Translate.
