WOW. XD I love reading through everyone's reasons for their usernames! I didn't know any of those backstories so it's so interesting to find out. xD


I've gone through a few usernames in the past... I think my very first one was Flareon_Girl or something silly like that. But haha, that was back when I had no idea how a forum worked so I posted in places I wasn't supposed to and got in trouble, so when I came to Pe2k a month or so later, I didn't want to be recognised (the fact that I thought it was probable is sort of hilarious) so I mixed it up completely, going with Graceful_Suicune. I thought it was a thing to put an underscore, which is why it remained in my name. Suicune are my favourite legendaries, and one of my favourite pokemon, which was why I chose it as part of my name.

However, I signed up everywhere else as GoldFlareon (originally Golden_Flareon) or just Flareon. I don't know where that came from; the 'flareon' part is obvious, and I think I chose "Gold" because it sounded sort of majestic or something. My pokesona ended up being gold coloured because of this. xD

When I joined PXR, for some reason I didn't want to sign up here as GoldFlareon like I am everywhere else. I think I wanted a name I only used for my home forum, much like Graceful_Suicune, and I also remember Harry saying to us all that we should pick a name that means something to us and that we'll treasure. I thought about it for a while and decided on combining flareon with suicune, so that people might still recognise me, but also so that I could be associated with flareon. I thought Suicune's Fire was cool because it's obviously not possible for a suicune to be able to breathe fire, but it had an allusion to my favourite type and my favourite pokemon. ^^

If I change it again, which I'm hesitant to do because it's grown on me, then it'll be something related to Mass Effect but still pokemon-related. x)
