If you had the opportunity to change your Pokemon nickname, would you?

Do you think they will open that option again? Maybe someday give everyone 1 more name change?

No because my nickname is already notorious in my city.

Mainly think they wouldn't b/c they couldn't monetize it. More work for them w/o a return. The outfit options can soak up some poke coins when people want to appear different/express themselves

I doubt we will get that option, but even if Niantic allowed us to change it once, I most likely wouldn't.

I like the name I have and the people I play with know who it is (though I learned today that some just call me "that guy with a beard").

But there's probably players who picked a silly name when they started because they didn't think they would play much, but are now hardcore players stuck with "Might Penis 1" or something. Maybe they'll want to change it to something better ;)

If Niantic did let us do this, it should be as a reward to reach certain goals. Maybe let those who manage to reach lvl 40 get that rare option or something.
It might add too much work if everyone got to do it.

A difference now might be somebody having a chat/Discord name as recognized in their city as their P-Go name. Might be easier to use the same one.

I mean, who would change this.

I get to say it whenever our raid group asks if we're waiting on anyone else. Apparently still hasn't gotten old.

Yes definitely.
And no, my nick in PoGo isn't close to my nick here

Reportedly you can email customer support and ask for another rename. Takes a few weeks, then when you login it will automatically prompt you to select a new name.

What I and a lot of players want though is to be able to change PTC login to a google login.

I never knew what a PTC account was meant for until I got some clues after a major series of PTC login issues.

I might write an email and see if it gets picked up, my PoGo name is ok but I do have an angle I can play up. I mainly just like my Discord name better.

Make something up. My wife said our son of 6 years old , currently 5 but was 4 at the time, got a hold of her phone and changed the nickname on her account to something else . They allowed her to change it again to a new username.

I wouldn't. The name I initially wanted when the game launched wasn't available but at this point everyone knows my game name so changing it would just throw everyone off.

I'm pretty happy with my current one, I use it everywhere anyway. Probably only if I wanted to run away from something, but otherwise I stay Detonatress, since no one else uses it anywhere I've had to register.

But for other people, I guess they might want it since there are some who may regret a nick change.
