Heard about something interesting and did some further testing. Apparently you can get a Pokémon with a different language default name than the Pokémon's region by tripping the GTS name filter. My tests:

EN Froslass named "Froslass" on GTS in EN White - blocked
EN Froslass named "Froslass" on GTS in JP White and White 2 - allowed, renamed to default JP name
JP Poochyena named "ペニス" on GTS in EN White - allowed, renamed to default EN name
JP Poochyena named "ペニス" on GTS in JP White and White 2 - allowed, renamed to default JP name

In all cases the OT was set to "Shiro*"/"ホワイト." if it was renamed. Presumably the OT will be renamed their counterpart from Black.

Note that in 5th gen I was unable to name a Pokémon "ペニス" (means penis), and if I tried adding characters after it the name wasn't censored. If there is a name that is allowed to be entered when giving it a nickname but is blocked by the GTS please post it.

If I CMT in your thread please respond in mine. If I really wanted a Pokémon that is more common than herpes, I'd get it myself from Pokécheck.
