Ah, when I was planning on joining this other Pokémon forum (which was the first forum I ever joined), for some reason I felt obliged to have a Pokémon-based username. So I started to think about it for a while. I was going to base it on Pikachu, since that was my favourite Pokémon at the time. That was also the time when the rumors about 'Pikablu' or something were floating around. And blue just happened to be my favourite colour. Sadly, that name was already taken when I tried to join. So I ended up with 'Pikabloo', which was my internet alias for a while.
After going away, then coming back to PC, I felt like I needed a change. After playing Okami for the second time through (I love that game too much), I was planning on changing it to 'Amaterasu', which is the name of the protagonist. But suddenly, I changed my mind, and I wanted to have my username as 'Shiranui', instead, who is also a character from the game. I thought it sounded better, so I stuck with it. And thus, I am now Shiranui :D Oh, and it also means "mysterious/unknown fire" or something, which is a pretty cool bonus.
