Why couldn't I name my Pokèmon Sobek?

Apr. 29, 2015

(For in-game Y and MD:GtI)

From what I know, Sobek is an Egyptain God of the Nile River. He looks like a crocodile and is fierce with protecting the river from harm.

I tried naming a Sandile Sobek but it wouldn’t accept. Can you tell me why?

Sonuva(Gun), these nick-naming rules sure are pretty specific. It makes mesobto see this.

Male offspring of a female canine abbreviation, most probably.

Definitelynotracism or xenophobia toward the Egyptians.

So I did the exact same thing as you(I name a lot of my Pokemon after gods and goddesses) and so I made a sneaky discovery just use a 5 instead of a S like below…

It works but looks a little bit weird..
