more specifically, what I'm talking about, is this
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people naming their pokemon, I usually name mine as well, with fancy little web/wigdings as well, but using this specific coding (which tbh, really isn't needed for naming your things) shouldn't be able to be entered.
The problem with all of this, is that because there isn't technically a name on your pokemon, it moves the "train with so-and-so"up enough that if you're not paying attention whiles clicking, you'll be mindlessly clicking absolutely nothing until you pay attention to your screen again.
Yeah, sure, you could argue that we should pay attention whiles clicking, but at the same time, you're given the option to give your pokemon a name, not name it some random coding all because it gives its native name a pretty colour.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk, I just thought it had to be brought up.
Edit:
The user ~Hatoko~, has brought up another serious reason as to why this should be removed.

People should really nickNAME their pokemon,not just use a code that takes up so much space that you can either name your pokemon 'nothing' ,or a 1-2 letter name

While clicking I once went through a whole minute clicking blank space because I didn't realize the page had moved due to these Pokemon. I (and probably many others) watch videos while clicking so I'm not going to notice something like this.
I support the idea that this needs to be changed. It makes the main aspect of the site(the clicking) more tedious and annoying than it should be.

my arguments against coding on pokemon-profiles are:
-the clicklists become useless, since the clickbutton is not in place
-not everybody is a good coder and may totally mess up with it
-the trend may get out of control by using flashing letters or other modifications
-you can use coding on your userprofile to express individuality, seems enough for me

But maybe it could be fixed so on the interactions page it still shows the Pokemon's native name or something so the code works on profiles only?? Idk I have no idea how coding works but I like the code and yeah its pretty sad that it messes with clicklists but if that could be avoided by all means I'd rather it be modified to work than have it blocked or removed because I legitimately freaked out and was so excited to find out you could do this

This would be one to four lines to add to the site code. (Since there is only one "change nickname" option for the pokemon, that I know of)
I fully support this, even though I haven't had issues with it, yet.

I actually encountered some names with empty space only, before these html codes were used. Same issue is experienced with those names, so it would be nice if all names, without any text appearing on the page so that the button moves up, is not allowed.
Edit: Sorry if I wasn't clear, so posting this example

What's bothersome is the clicklists. I was clicking away when I came across this. A pokemon with a name that marquees. You know there's a problem if the train button is at the bottom of the page. Like I said in my last post, clicking is one of the main aspects of the site. If clicklists are pretty much unsuable because of this than something does need to be done to fix this.
So yeah. If there's a way to fix it so that the codes won't affect the page than sure keep them. But if not than codes should not allowed to be used for Pokemon nicknames.

on a clicking site you should be able to click without problems...
Posted: Sun, 10/04/2016 12:44 (8 Years ago)
Its really annoying to scroll down just because some User think its cool or funny or good if they do this. I would really appreciate it if they fix this as fast as possible. Besides everytime when i see those guys, i dont click their Pkmn...
