  • December 2018 EDIT
    Username change requests are now closed. The next round will open in May 2019.​

    --

    It's that time again! Username change requests are now open and will run throughout the month of November. Are you interested in a new identity on PC? Then please read read this thread in its entirety and follow the listed rules.

    Prior to requesting, remember that we highly discourage the use of multiple accounts on PokéCommunity. Thus, we ask members not create alternate accounts to "reserve" a username they don't want to risk losing to somebody else. It is best to take time to consider whether you truly want to change your username if you are unsure.

    To request a new username, please use the following form:

    Old username:
    New username:
    (Any related notes, if any)
    Usernames must be 36 characters or less and be appropriate. Capitalization changes will not invoke the limit.

    Note that usernames will be changed as they come in. We will not be waiting until the end of the month to change names, so make sure you are set on your new username before posting as it will be changed right when an admin sees it.

    If you wish to take an existing username, you may do so if all of the following criteria are met:

    1) The account has not logged in for four or more years;
    2) The account has not made any posts;
    3) The account not does not belong to a banned member;
    4) You have at least 100 posts.​

    If you're not sure if the name you want is available, feel free to use the username checker (http://www.pokecommunity.com/usernamecheck.php) to verify.

    * Supporters are eligible for an extra change per year, outside of the May and November sessions. Please see this thread if you wish to use an extra username change as a supporter.

    At the end of the month, this thread will be closed and no more requests will be taken.

    And that's all. Happy requesting! Feel free to private message an administrator if you have questions.

    Old username: Easy Money Sniper
    New username: Hector
    Okay, I know that this person has 7 posts, but they haven't been on since 2004 and I doubt they're coming back. Would stealing their username be cool? if not, then

    Old username: Easy Money Sniper
    New username: Zelgius

  • Old name: Major Mcduck
    New name: The Foogle

    the foogle is my internet persona, and it's a more universal name than just being Ducktales oriented. R.I.P Major Mcduck, we salute you.
     

    Mr Ghost

    Old Name: Mr Ghost
    New Name: Ghost

    I don't have 100 posts yet but the account that has this name hasn't been on since 2004 and wasn't active to begin with, so if it's cool I'd like to have the name.

    We can't make exceptions for the 100 posts requirement, sadly, as the rules are there for a reason. ): Occasional exceptions can however be made for existing usernames that don't have the needed 0 posts to be claimed (if they're very old, such as the Ghost account) but we ask that members please have the 100 posts necessary to claim before posting. It isn't difficult to reach at all, especially if you post in Pok?mon Trivia and Forum Games. Feel free to respond back once you've hit the requirement -- you still have most of the month!

    Others done.
