How to change your username in Pokémon GO?
We tell you how to change your username in Pokémon GO. This way, you will be able to use the name of your choice in your game account.
In Pokémon GO it is possible to change the user name if we are not happy with it. This is something quite recurrent on the internet and, luckily, Niantic allows us to change the account name if we want to do it for any reason. In this Pokémon GO guide we tell you how to change the username:
How to change the name of the Pokémon GO account? Step by step
- To change the name of our Pokémon GO account we simply need to follow these simple steps:
- We open the game. Obviously, we must have it updated to be able to log in.
- We touch the icon of the Poké Ball.
- Tap on Options.
- Under Options, scroll down to the "Account" section. Here we will see the option "Change nickname".
- Tap on this option and change our existing nickname to the one we want.
Keep in mind that the game itself warns us that we can only change the nickname of our account a limited number of times, and this includes changing to a previous one in case we regret any of the modifications at any time. We do not know exactly how many times Niantic allows changing the nickname of our Pokémon GO account, but knowing that we only have limited attempts, we should only do it if we are sure of what we want our new nickname to be.
The reasons for changing the Pokémon GO nickname can be varied, but they have in common the fact that we are not happy with the one we have. Maybe when creating the account we made a mistake with the name, or we want to change our nickname in all our social media and video games, including Pokémon GO. There are as many reasons as there are people on the planet, and even more.
