special letters (dont know how to call them in english >.<)

Post by Scox »

i noticed that i cant use the letters ä,ö,ü for my boxes but i can use them for the names of my adopts thats kinda weird^^

Scox, in enlgish you have to hold alt or shift and then press numbers

(each "special" letter consists for a 3 number code)

dradford, yes i know that but thats not what i mean^^
you see in my box 1 there is a shiny drowzee with the name beständigkeit and it is displayed correct with the letter ä
but when i want to name a box pendelhöhle for example then the ö is removed and the box is named pendelhhle instead

I totally support this idea!!
You can be more creative with names, too, if you have the possibility to use special characters :)

I think what they don't want is a whole bunch of characters for box names

Having to go thru and double check to make sure that the names of all Pokemon and boxes are 'proper' now is tough considering how many members there are, but some characters put together in some ways have certain meanings as well ;)

Dustydragon, so its about the evil words? there are enough of them without those special characters i dont think that this could be a reason to not implement them

More special characters for the adopts but still no ä, ö, ü for boxes...
there are more than enough bad words you can build without these special characters so is still dont get it why we cant use them for our boxes.
