5th Gen Since when is "poof" a bad word?

I like to give my Pokemon cute little nicknames, and I tried to name a Cottonee "Poof".... And the game rejected it like a curse word! Why?(It ended up as Poofie.)

It is often used as an offensive word towards homosexuals.

Wow, for real? I never knew that. That's messed up.

You also can't put up certain Pokemon on the GTS because their names are censored, so they need nicknames, for example, Cofagrigus. :x Either way, since there's not really much to discuss, post in Quick Questions next time. :3
