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

Uh so, hoenn is my favourite region so that's where I come from and you must be wondering why is my name 'septile' not 'sceptile' so here's the reason :
My favourite Pokémon is sceptile as you can see, and my favourite sceptile is Ash's. So if you ever noticed, it always says 'septile!' not 'sceptile!'.
So joining them you get my wonderful username!

                 * Story ends*

I think the C is silent, and that’s why it sounds like it’s saying “septile!”.

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.

I am a fan of the Sonic series, and in the Sonic Adventure games, you can access the Chao Garden, where you take care of little Tamagotchi like creatures called Chao. The first incarnation of my username was on a pixel art website where I started out as "SilverChao220/SilverChao", based on another character, Silver the Hedgehog. Later, I switched accounts since the old one used my school email, and I had to come up with a new username. All I did was remove the 'Silver' part of the name and made it just Chao220, which I feel like is an Improvement. I now normally go by Chao on most social media platforms, like Twitter and previously Discord. I have changed my name back to Chao220 on Discord although and my Youtube account is still SilverChao220. That's basically it. Note, the first '2' isn't supposed to be an S, it's merely just there to fill out space, I'm not Chaos20, that's way too edgy anyways.

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!

Baron Von Thomason III is the name of my uncle's cat

In school we had to write a short 10 page book on whatever we wanted. So I wrote a story that follows a person (whose name is This Guy) that jumps into a nintendo switch on Zelda: Breath of the Wild and he helps Link rescue Zelda with a goblin (whose name is: Goblin) from Gannon. So all in all that's how I came up with my username.

It is a username from another game I play. I made this username from slamming the keyboard.
Nothing else, haha.

You should update your old answer instead of adding a new one in case you changed your username, just for organisational purposes.

I came up with my username by randomly mashing the keyboard. No, really. It was originally my PS! Username, but eventually became my online name on most platforms.

I used to watch a show every Saturday called Good Game Spawn Point where the hosts Bajo and Hex would review games and answer questions about video games. Back in 2011 I was trying to think of a gamer name for myself and created a portmanteau of their names. As for the exclamation mark before and after my name, I just wanted to be the first name listed in this site's chat room.

I have the username ryter the great because my shield username was ryter (seriously random) and of course I used it in legends arceus and violet. Showdown! wouldn't let me use ryter so I added the great because I'm pretty great. Or whatever. So I used it as my username for here. When name changes came round, I added an er at the end just because. So now my name is ryter the greater for 6 months. Yay. So that's the story of my name.
