Welcome to Pokemon Adventures!

You are currently viewing the forum as a guest.

If you're thinking of joining, I feel the need to note that this is a discussion forum, and not some kind of online Pokemon game (as awesome as that would be). We get tons of members getting this confused, and we certainly wouldn't want to waste your time if this place isn't what you were looking for.

You might also find that the activity level is rather low around here. This is mostly due to lack of new members that stick around. I'm sure if we had a few more, all the many members would eventually come out of hiding. Why not sign up and stay for a while. Who knows? You may be surprised.

I think this is on the wrong thread but if it is they'll move it.

But most of us hide our real names because we much rather prefer our made up ones. Some of us took thought in making our user names and some just use nicknames. Others dislike their names and might not even tell you what it is. Its just a manner of taste I guess.

I took mine from ACC, an Animal Crossing forum. Pikachu was my character's name (because Chaifromcard sounds weird >.>), from is from, and Card has and always will be the name of my AC town's.

Therapy helps, but screaming mean things is cheaper.

We don't, we refer to each other by our first names a lot.

You can all call me Shawn. :D

5000+ posts oh yeah!

Erm, way wrong forum. *moves*

Why do we? It's the internet. User names are just what we use on the internet, b/c it's always been that way. And it's also so people don't stalk you, finding who you are, where you live and killing you. And besides, usernames are so much cooler than our normal names. :p

And most of us regular members refer to each other by our names. Except Ninva. He's Ninva. I can't refer to him as not Ninva. :p

Mainly so that there aren't 10 Josh's and whatnot. Also, so you don't have the name Gwen, and there's another gwen, and you log in as her instead of you. Confusing! :{ Besides, I like screenames better. I love Xoffy, I want people to call me it in real life, but people don't. Xp I love them, they're cool.

Like PFC said, most of it comes from the users taste of interest.
