I was thinking of changing my name back to Shadow walker so I went to the change your name thing. I looked at the member list and no one has the name. So I tried changing my name and it doesn't work! Can someone help?

Yes, you can't change your new username to the one you were using.
 
you can't change your name to a name you've already used
 
How come !Tommy can go back and forth between Astronema and !Tommy then?
 
You have to ask an Admin to change it for you. The other alternative is a bit tedious since you'd have to change your name a total of five times (so it'd be four more in your case) before you can go back to the original one.
 
Hmm well the admins would be annoyed and the other way is a bit weird.

No... You have to ask an admin to change it back to a name you previously used. Unless you cycle through 5 different names. Also, I think there is a 2 week waiting period between changes.
 
Yes. And sadly we're losing this capability in another PKMN forum I go to due to the "Data Base Errors" that we were getting there (And here too it seems) So cherish it please. ^____^

Thanks I'll ask Satoshi kun.
 
Any reason why you can't change a name back to one you've already had unless you cycle through five?
 
Not you in general, more like the odd user who will change their user to Bum Toucher or another then swap to something else.
