Why was cofagrigus once ban from the gts?

Question

on bulbapedia it says:
Previously, due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Cofagrigus could not be traded without a nickname.
But why.

Answer 1

Because there was a bad word in his name.

Cofagrigus

Since all names had to be clean, and this one wasn't, it was deemed to be nicknamed forever. :o

Hope I helped. :)
