Why did you choose your username.

[[Desolate Divine]]

We have some pretty interesting and unique usernames here on PXR. Why did you pick yours.

I have had four on PXR.

Cobalt Shadow was my name on pe2k and I automatically chose the same name. However on pe2k I wanted Cobalt originally but it was taken. Sometime during PXRs development I realised I had a whole world of usernames since barely anyone had joined yet. I then switched to Cobalt. It was a bit awkward when Cobalt of pe2k arrived and had to choose a different name haha.

When I became moderator around last October, I wanted a name change and ended up changing my name to The Operator, due to my Slenderman obsession and being called Slenderfairy by a few people on here (ask @Eternity, @Dragotech and @Charmander009)

Recently I felt like another change and decided to change to Comatose. Comatose is the name of my favourite album, a metal album by a band called Skillet, as well as my favourite song. My user title is lyrics from it, though slightly incorrect due to character limits.

[Braixen]

Ouu! I like to know this sort of thing about people :)

Unfortunately my name is basically self explanatory, I really like Braixen (I was formally Absol, and I really like Absol too)... but, I guess there's a tiny bit more to it! When Fennekin first premiered as a starter I was extremely excited about it, I really liked the Pokemon and I have always been biased towards fire starters (Torchic's line and Tepig's line were kind of disappointing to me though) so I had been waiting for another awesome first starter to meet that of Charmander, and Cyndaquil's (chimchar is fairly good to me but I don't love it as much) evolution line. I waited for a long time to see what Fennekin's evolutions turned out to be, and I was met with disappointment. I was fairly sad that they decided to make her bipedal instead of keeping her quadruped, and I took a while to come around.. now that I let myself appreciate the line a bit more I ended up being obsessed with Braixen. I think she's adorable! I don't even mind Delphox (she's grown on me), but Braixen really stands out for me. :) I also like the personality associated with her, I deem her as a bit sassy, feminine, and strong/brave. It's a good combination!

[Bloom]

When I joined PokeStadium my username was IntelligentNoob, an oxymoron I used to describe myself at the time I joined. I didn't really think I'd stay there long, but I became extremely active and fascinated with the site. I had a lot of different nicknames, Inny, Intin, IN, Noogies(thank LightningDash for that), but one in particular stood out; Intel. Essentially no one called me by my actual username, so I went around as Intel. Although I never was able to have my username changed, it wasn't until the site closed down until I actually chose to use Intel as a forum username. Though I enjoy being creative, so I added the yin yang symbols to make my name less bland. Thus ☯Intel☯ became my forum username, and you have no idea how surprised I was to find out that the symbols worked in the registration process.

I tend to be a logical person, fixated on learning random things for no reason in particular. Intel is also the name of a computer chip company, consisting of various workers with similar ideals that I share. The corporation itself and how I portray myself on occasion is somewhat relevant to my nickname and now username on various forums. I was still tempted to have some form of a Ralts related username.... alas, the user title was satisfying enough :p

[Caite-chan]

Well I've had several names through out PE2K and other sites. I'll try to remember the order....

Skate Master Tony - I was real into Skateboarding when I was in middle school and Tony Hawk was my favorite skater.

Shane O Mac v 3 - I moved from Skateboarding to wrestling thanks to an old member named Syrus. He got me into wrestling and at the time my favorite was Shane McMahon.

Bioactive Showtime - This was something that came about when I started doing wrestling e feds and I wanted something cool sounding...Lolz.

Slave To Petey - I got this on the wrestling e fed for being Queen of Petey Williams as I was known for role playing him all over. One of the guys told me I was like the Slave To Petey....LOL. And I love him to death....he's the hawt guy in my avatar. *Cheese grin*

Caite-chan - When I joined Bulbapedia I wanted to use Caitlin as she is the Elite Four Psychic Master and also it is my real name...even spelled the same way. Someone had already taken Caitlin :O so I went with Caite-chan.

If you are from the old PE2K most of you will know me as Tony or Shane and either is just fine with me. :D *Looks at @HKim* LOL

[The-Hydra]

I wish I had an intelligent reason behind my two forum user names I've had.

The first one, Hypnoman, was caused by my rushed attempt to choose a favorite Pokémon the day I joined. I chose Hypno because he seemed cool that day.

Naturally, when I saw we had a name change thread a month or two later I wanted to change it. However, that was also rushed for no real reason, and the best I could think of was the car from Kirby air ride, The Hydra. (That was before even gen 5 XD) but the meaning gradually changed to be interpreted as Hydreigon, since I started liking him a lot more.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

You guys have much more interesting reasons. When I joined PE2K, I wanted to pick a name that I knew I would be alright sticking with forever. Sarah is my real name, so it was kind of obvious. :P

[Ash K.]

I used to use the name Alcadies (first chosen for Runescape years ago as a misspelling of something I couldn't remember how to spell), but then when I joined another Pokémon game several years ago (TPPC forums, I remember someone named Comatose there, not sure if you're the same @Comatose; who had a genderless level 5 shiny Magikarp that I remember from there), I put an invalid email for the account Alcadies and it wouldn't let me validate it, so I had to make a new account, and because I'm quite bad with coming up with names I went with Ash K. (anyone who's on a Pokémon forum and can't guess the derivation of that should please leave now). I've been wanting to change it for a while, but unable to think of a better name and at this point it's pretty much stuck anyways because it probably wouldn't stop everyone from calling me Ash.

[Felly]

Waaaaay back in the day, I used to be in a Pokemon/MKWii/SSBB/Halo clan, and I went by Fire Element Lord, but people just called me FEL for short. ;3 One of the clan members started calling me Felly, and it ended up sticking, so I just use it everywhere now.

[EmeraldSky]

Emerald--The birthstone for May, the third Gen 3 Pokemon game
Sky--the realm Rayquaza (the mascot of Emerald) rules over

[VeloJello]

Mine was inspired by a love of velociraptors, and a character I made up ages ago who happened to be a robotic one by the same name. I also frequently go by VeloJello, as a combination of my nickname and a tasty gelatin treat that pulls me through when I'm sad and/or ill.
