BW/BW2 Possible future solutions to proper capitalization of transferred Pokemon

I believe that it has come to most peoples attention the new proper capitalization of Pokemon's names in B/W. One problem that arose from this is the fact that, when transferring over 3-4th generation Pokemon, their fully capitalized names stay the same, even though they were never nicknamed.

This is what appears to be a glitch in the games, as when you evolve a poke-transferred Pokemon, their names become properly capitalized with the new species' name (This means that the Pokemon's nickname flag was not on, even though it had an improper name for a non-nicknamed Pokemon). This means that any Pokemon that you transfer over which cannot evolve, will never see the light of proper capitalization. Obviously, due to the fact that the game you transfer it to will not be the OT, you cannot rename it and properly capitalize it.

I believe that, in the future, Nintendo/Gamefreak will fix this by doing one, or both, of the following things:

1.) Remove the need in future games to be the OT in order to nickname a Pokemon.

2.) Make the future games so that when trading over older 3rd-4th gen. Pokemon to these new games (from B/W) or transferring over 3rd-4th gen. Pokemon to the new games, If their nickname flag is not on (meaning if their name matches the proper species name letter for letter, but not matching capitalization) their names are automatically properly capitalized.

Another reason that Removing the need in future games to be the OT in order to nickname a Pokemon would help is that Cofagrigus' name, and possibly some other Pokemon's, is actually flagged as inappropriate. This means that you can only trade Cofagrigus over the GTS by nicknaming it. Once they remove the nicknaming restriction of having to be the OT, people may rename the nicknamed Cofagrigus to its original name.

I would hope that both of these things would happen so that these problems may be fixed.
