And for what it's worth, it's Nintendo of America that censors everything, not Nintendo of Japan.
For example, did you know the reason why the old man in the first Gen Pokémon games was passed out in the middle of the road? He was absolutely hammered. In the American version, he's throwing a tantrum because he hasn't had his coffee yet. And that's just one such example. There's thousands more. NOA loves to censor everything.
And the comparatively recent shift in Sony policy about what content is acceptable is because who makes those decisions moved from the Japanese office to the US one and the US is full of various flavors of prudes.
