I sent this message to an admin who was more than kind enough to link me here, but:
"So as the title implies, I'd REALLY like to change my name...I fell out of Pokemon a few years ago after 2011 VGC's because all of my belongings were stolen shortly after, and recently started again...decided to try to log into my old Smogon account and frankly, this name is borderline offensive. I'm sure it was with some sort of better intention 8 years ago, but I think (especially in the current social climate), it strongly deserves to be changed to something else, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my display name!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...is there a way to submit a new name? If not, it's totally fine, I just feel like maybe this current handle could very easily be taken out of context or be misconstrued as something more offensive...thanks so much in advance :) "
New Name: FrostyCakes
Thank you so, so much <3
sure thing - tdp
