I got this idea from a speedrun.com user. He made a thread dedicated to how you got your username. So i thought "i could apply this to the META section of pokebase" Wait... Is this even allowed? Other people made threads for your username on pokemon showdown! and pokemon online (which you could put on your profile) and didnt get flagged (as of my time on the site) so hopefully is allowed

EDIT: yay it is allowed

My name was actually identical (Kinda) To an already existing name.
One day I wanted to be a part of Pokemon Database. I didn't know what to name my account when I found somebody named "Blissey Boy" And you can basically patch the rest.
And that is how I got my name ;)

Hiya, I know everyone here is explaining there users so I'll explain mine.
My first and original user was CatPokémon because I'm obsessed with cats and I really like Pokémon.
Now my user is Solluleocat and the reasoning for that is a combination of Lunala and Solgaleo together with cat on the end making Solluleocat.
That's the basics of my user and my last user.

My first username was Savitar. He was the villain of the third season of the flash tv show, the last season where the show wasn't garbage. Whenever I create an account on something I'm not sure I'll stick around to, I usually go with this one since it's so easy to remember for me. If I do decided to stick around with whatever site I join up on, I usually replace it with something else

My username now, KyokaSuigetsu, is the name of the sword of my favorite villain of all time, Sosuke Aizen. I just decided to use it as my original change when it was allowed earlier this year was 'Commandment of Piety' but that was too long so I just settled with Kyoka Suigetsu since I really liked how it could mess with one's enemies. This username is the exact opposite of how I play this game though since I rarely mess with my opponent and just engage autopilot and lose -_-

Well my username came from my favourite TV show I watched growing up Miraculous Ladybug and Cat noir
I love this TV show for 2 reasons
1) I adore and love Paris <3
2) I love heroes under masks and secret identities
So I imagined myself as their partner Hawk Marron
See Cat is English but Noir (black) is French
And Hawk is English but Marron (brown) is French
So yeah that’s where my username came from.

That's actually really interesting.
Thanx =)

So, my name came from two Pokemon. The first name, Porygon, is because I like the Porygon evolution. Zangoose is because it's my favorite Pokemon, and I even have a shiny Zangoose on Pokemon X. Also, if you do PorygonZ, the Z could stand for Zangoose, creating the name PorygonZangoose.

EDIT: My new name is ManectricMadness. The first part Manectric is because I seem to be liking the Pokemon Manectric lately. The Madness part is based on one of Mega Manectric's Pokedex, specially, part of the Ultra Moon Pokedex entry:

Too much electricity has built up in its body, irritating Manectric. Its explosive speed is equal to that of a lightning bolt.

So, ummm, yeah. I'll edit whenever I decide to change my name again.

My first username was snom. This was because despite snom having died out in terms of popularity, I hadn't caught up with the latest Pokemon trends and for some reason decided to sign up with that username.

My second username was SSuperiority. It is a reference to my signature Fire-Water-Grass cores. The 'S' part is steam, because of Greninja and Charizard being Water and Fire types respectively, and Fire+Water makes steam. Superiority because Serperior.

Ignis Aqua Herba is 'Fire Water Grass' in Latin.

I got my username from my Club Penguin account. (I am still crying because it shut down) My username in Club Penguin was just Mangos. Then when I came here I really liked my Club Penguin username so I had it in my username and I added my birthday. So my birthday is September tenth. How I got my username for Club Penguin is a mystery because I was five and used the word that came to my mind first. I am pretty happy with my username.

I've heard of Club Penguin before. The Odd 1s out mentioned it in a video.
Xd me too

KitkatKK2 came from:
My first name starts with K, my favorite chocolate bar is kitkat, and the 2 is just something I put at the end of all my usernames. Also, KitkatKK on its own sounds bad.
Then I added the special character because it was cool. That’s it. Literally just cause it was cool.
And then started the war between the ~~s and the TMs. I decided to be the peacemaker
Yay.
Sixer is a Gravity Falls reference. Saying any more would be spoilers.

I love French cheese and European cheese. It's just amazing. SO I found out about it when my mom friend buys me some, I respond with "what the heck is this?". It's brie cheese. I have a nickname which is Bri because my stupid friends were like "Your name too long let me call you Bri". So I love brie cheese and my nickname is Bri. And Brie and Bri are like the same thing so that how Bricheese became a thing. Lol- Cheesy person called Bri

I didn’t really put much thought into my username, but my name will always be the same, I know that much!
I just thought to myself when I was making my account, This is a Pokémon site. And here I assume people are called users, as most sites are. When I was 10 I was very involved into Pokémon, and I like computers/sci-fi.
So I quickly came up with PokeUser0101010. “Poke” is the beginning of Pokémon. “User” is me. “0101010” are the one’s and zero’s thats people think are in coding and it sounds like Sci-fi“ish” to me. It’s just a jumble of stuff I like. Lol I don’t know how I came up with it though, but it was the first thing I thought!

by
Funnily enough, 0101010 (00101010 as a byte or 101010 with no trailing 0’s) in binary is 42, which happens to be the answer to life the universe, and everything. :P

I got the username ~megaltaria~ because people were starting to do the whole ~~~ thing and I decided to do it too.

Don't ask.

I actually don't really like Altaria except for the fact that my first ever EX in cards was a Mega Altaria EX and I was so excited so yay.

Storytime because I never look at this part of PDB that much!

I was registered as The Legacy Lucario. I have been a variety of Lucario, my bar none favorite Pokemon, for ALMOST my entire tenure since I joined the site at age 12 almost 10 years ago. Counting my current name, I can remember at least six of them related to Lucario out of at least seven different names.

For a time I had an obsessive thing with Dungeon Siege (2001) and named myself "Cmndr. Gresh" with Spade unicode surrounding it, because I also had a thing for Spades I guess. (This actually instantly triggered a copycat from Kyron - someone who newer users might not know, he's been inactive for a few years; his final name was Kameko, but I'll be damned if I remember what he changed it to that time because it wasn't that!)

Gresh was the evil vice-leader of the demonic Seck race in Dungeon Siege. Incidentally, he was also the hardest boss fight in the game - forget King Gom in the final battle, Gresh had collectively like 25 armored skeletal henchmen helping him while he shot fire at my party!...was it fire? Jeez, it's been so long that while I remember the surrounding battle scene vividly, like it was yesterday, I don't remember what Gresh himself fought like. I just remember unfair af boss battle.

Anyway, I digress. Lucario has always been a symbol of strength to me, as was Gresh. Maybe even a touch of sinister strength at times. That was always something I liked to portray in my name earlier on in my time here, and I just stuck with Lucario for a while. I think I've been a variety of Stellar Lucario for like the last six years ish? Which leads me to news below.

Next name change, prepare for something different and for a second departure from Lucario. I thought of a username epiphany today, and thought what better time than to do it this upcoming season for PDB? Look out for me on the next username change thread.

My first username on this site was Xurkit, since I had an interest in the funky pokemon Xurkitree. there's not much else to say about it.

BeastMaster(tm) was my second username. Again, Ultra Beast funny stuff.

Third name was Mr. Beast. Nothing special about it either, although it appears that a famous youtuber stole that name and didn't credit me

Fourth(?) was Bee Pen, a name that Giru gave me, and it was a one-day thing, since she changed her name to Strawberry Shortcake, a nickname I gave her

Current name is BM(tm), abbreviation of my second (and arguably most popular) username

I've explained this sometime ago in my "About Me" section but why not here too right? lol

My username came from a character in the anime Beyblade Burst that I really love and kin - Kurogami Daina. He's cute alright o_o One day I thought that "Hey Kuro-GUMMY is a nice pun on his name lol" so i used that name everywhere for a while. After a while, though, I got sorta' bored and decided to go for a little change, so I changed it to Kuroyupii. Why, you ask? Yupi is a famous gummy candy brand in my country so technically, I'm still Kurogummy.

I guess that meant I didn't change at all huh,,, ;-;

by
i think yupii is a cool nickname :)
aaah i know what is yupii, i believe its YUPY. i know it because we live in the same country:D
Yes lol. It's the Yupi candy xD

I have a passion for Eeveelutions and since they all end in -eon (Vaporeon, Sylveon Jolteon), I name myself Team Eon, since I a!ways have a Team of Eeveelutions on me! And in a Fanfic I'm writing, the Police Force has a Team of Eeveelutions called Team Eon! So both from Passion and Book Reference!

Blastfury0614
Sooo, just in case it wasn't clear, Blast comes from my first and favorite pokémon: Blastoise. Fury is because it simply sounds cool, especially together with Blast. Fury can also mention the fact that I have very unpopular Pokémon opinions (Vannilite is my favoriteice type). The numbers are my birth year (2006) and my age when I logged in the site (14).
HydroKamex_009
Hydro comes from the move Hydro Cannon. Kamex is Blastoise's Japanese name. The numbers are Blastoise's Pokédex number
HydroKamex0610
Same thing, but the numbers refer to 2006 and October, repectively
