Mother 3, actually.
My usual internet username is Ryuukasu, I got think from Lucas' name, Ryukasu. I just added another U to make it connected to a dragon. I have no idea why I typed in "~Ryukaa" when changing my username. :/

Many people in real life call me Arma.
Arma means Weapon in Spanish (I didn't know that for years)

I somehow ended up with El Arma Secreta (=The Secret Weapon), I don't know why I typed my name with only lower-case characters and no spaces.
There used to be a link to an Imageshack picture here. Lmao.

I came up with this one back when Generation IV was coming out. I was looking through a list of all the new Pokémon, saw Heatran (then only known as Hiidoran) was a fire-type legendary, and I just kinda jumped on getting it as my user name here. People identified me most by that user name... so it's kinda stuck ever since. XD

THANKFULLY, no one but other staffers can see the HORRID names I had before this one...

Ho-Oh

-insert Youtube url to Forever because I can't find one that embeds properly-

Forever by Chris Brown. :)

Basically, back in October 2008, when I found out I could change my username faster (three months instead of four, due to being a supporter), I changed to Forever, because it was my favourite song at the time, though if I recall, I planned to change to "eternity" or something along those lines and it was actually taken. So, something sparked in my brain and I realised Forever would be even more appropriate, and luckily it wasn't taken. However, by about May 2009, I wanted to change my username to Nurse Nica - something I didn't think very long about, but I just changed to because I wanted ~change~. Anyway, soon after that, by next change, people kept saying "change to Hakeen next!!!" (Hakeen = Neekah = Nica) and...I did. I really regretted that, so at the next chance I could, I changed back to Forever and by the time final name changes occured, I knew that Forever would be my username, well... Forever. And now, the username is more than just the song, it's me.

Hm...Black is one of my favorite colors (yes, some people would say it's not a color but a "value", but hey, I don't care xdd).
And Prince, because I love related things with the Middle Age.

Also, I chose "Black Prince", because that's how we call Lelouch Vi Britannia from Code Geass, who is one of my favorite characters ~

I honestly can't remember what inspired my name change. I think it was along the lines of trying to think of something that was a real word, but not something dumb. I was gonna go with Squidward Tentacles, but I didn't like that. I then thought to myself something like "I need to think of an alternate username... hey, what about Alternative?" and yeah. Something along those lines, and thus this is my username. XD

It has nothing to do with the music genre though.

I used to get called 'Wee Man' by this Scottish kid in school, because I was so small when I was younger. I'm still below average height for my age, but nowhere near as small as I was, I was literally half the size of everyone else up until I was about 12. The '10' is for the year I joined as well. :)
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. And Lvl 100 Pokemon.

I don't know. I always liked the name Ryo and Yuki, combine them up and you get Ryouki. Pretty lame, but still. Although I love the fact that it can be pronounced two ways.

Well, originally it was "Unidentified Flying Aces" because I loved playing H.A.W.X. on my Xbox360. That's now broken xD
But that's how I came to that username (better than Divine~Deoxys, formerly known as ROFLCune, formerly known as kiddo911 xD)

Then I started reading PokéSpe, decided Lance was awesome (already like him from when I battled him on LeafGreen), so I became Lance (UFA).

When we got given the option for one last name-change, I decided upon "Amore". My reasons? Well, I was obsessed with Italy (Still my favourite country, to be honest), it translates as "Love", which is hardly a bad sentiment, is it? (Could've made people question my sexuality, but as it turns out you're all nice people). It's also simple - easy for me to remember, easy for others to type, and doesn't need any sort of special characters.

And, well, people kinda know me as Amore, so I'd never change it even if I had the chance. Maybe use an alt, but never re-name this account.

At one point, Sammi-san was my sister's nickname for me. This was way back in the day when both my sister and I were a bit more obsessed with Japan than we are now. (Although Sammi itself comes from one of my aunts.) When I first started using the Internet, I remembered the nickname and thus used it. It's in lowercase because Sammi-san looks ridiculous imo.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

A newer, gorier version of the classic 1910 Gaston Leroux tale has A Nightmare on Elm Street's Robert Englund playing the Phantom. Christine Daaé is a young Broadway singer in New York City. She is auditioning for a show, and comes across an old piece of music written nearly 100 years before by an unknown musician name Erik Destler. Destler it seems had made a pact with the devil (maybe by accident) so the world would love his music, the catch was Erik's face would be left horribly disfigured forever. Once Christine sings his music for an audition, she is hit with a sandbag, thus follows a presumed flashback into the past roughly around 1881, where she was the star in the London Opera House. There she is coached by a mysterious "Phantom" who will do anything to make his protege a star, even if it means murder. Christine soon finds out that her teacher is in fact Destler, whom she comes to loathe.
Fun fact: I never actually finished this movie. I had always known the Phantom's name was Erik, but this was the first time a decent surname was given..so I stuck to it. 8D;

I started going by it on IRC, and subsequently on forums. :>
So, yeah. My love for Phantom of the Opera inspired my name. n_n

Oh hey! I get to tell my story! Again. For the umpteenth time.

The inspiration for my username started a few years ago, back when I was active on a Danny Phantom Forum. When I joined that forum, I called myself DanPhantomFan (Danny Phantom fan... yeah, I wasn't creative). However, as the months go by, I would still be on the forum, but I wasn't as into Danny Phantom anymore. Due to this, I wanted a name change, but I wanted to keep the initials of my username (DPF) because everyone called me by that.

Eventually, the name 'DigiPeachFruit' (Digital Peach Fruit) was born.

However many years it was went by, when I was then in Ninth Grade. I met a friend, who was into Digimon, and got me back into Digimon. While we were both obsessed with it, we started to poke fun at my username, going 'DigiPeachFruit: the Peaches are Binary' because in the Digimon world everything is digital and thus made out of binary code.

That was when I got an idea, though. Rather than having DigiPeachFruit, I would change my username to BinaryPeaches, where it would make more sense (because saying Digital Peaches: the peaches are binary didn't sound right). So, BinaryPeaches was born. Original, with a nice fun story to come alongside it.
