I've a question about this...

Since there is no KOR VC Crystal; what happens if you trade from KOR G/S to ... ENG Crystal and transfer from ENG Crystal > Gen7?

I was told Korean VC couldn't communicate with non-Korean VC.

[theSLAYER]

while the games are able to communicate normally (original GB) and on emulators,

VC blocks ENG Gen I/II and KOR Gen II from communicating with each other.

[Kaphotics]

Added Korean strings to the permitted character list

Hello, adding to this; italian Pokemon transferred through transporter change incompatible names to Cristallo*. Not sure if other games do this as well, but PKHex says the star is incompatible.

I think that is how it is programmed normally?
"If a Pokémon's original Trainer contains a word which is prohibited by the filter, the original Trainer will be replaced by Red* if the game is Pokémon Red, or Yellow* if the game is Pokémon Yellow. This filter is applied after converting characters such as PK. This filter is not applied to kana." ~ from bulbapedia (source)

What characters are affected by this right now?

No no. When you have invalid OT,
you end up with <VC game name>* as OT after transfer. Since he is playing Italian Crystal,  the OT he gets is Cristallo*.

An example of what happened in recent Gen, is the Japanese 20th Mew. It used the wrong star, and after trading, the OT changes. (Tho instead of Asterisk, it becomes <game name>. )

[ShockSlayer]

Yeah, I meant the asterisk. Doesn't matter if it's Cristallo* or Gold* or anything with an asterisk; it says it's using invalid characters. Removing the asterisk from Cristallo in particular then results in an "OT Name too long" error, as it's over 7 characters.

Most likely just need to compile a table of acceptable names to check for, if the Gen 1/2 flags as well as the asterisk are present.
