Well, those that are in the game's Pokedex. I'd expect at least 400 Pokemon in that game's Pokedex, where as we still have quite a ways to go before reaching that total in this topic.

With this post, the entire Rowlet line is represented in this topic. Rowlet and Decidueye both posted in this topic already.

Oops

@SBAllen @LusterSoldier

How about you get off your lazy posterior Allen and do another Character Battle because, this god awful topic is a reminder of why only 20,000 people (at most) voted in the polls last year.

Watch what words you're tossing around as insults, buddy.

There's not much I can do about the poor vote totals in the polls. I have criticized Allen pretty harshly for not doing enough to improve our vote totals, so I've made some attempt to get Allen to address this major issue.

Oops

"whoops"

One account that certainly won't be posting here is Incineroar, because that's a banned account as well.
---

At least this account will be able to post here, so we've got 2 out of 3 final evolution Gen 7 starters in here.
---

And now it's time for the rest of my "Tapu" accounts (already posted with Tapu-Koko in this topic).
---

Should be noted that the exact names of the Tapu legendaries couldn't be created on GameFAQs since spaces are no longer allowed in usernames. In the case of this account, the only options would have been "TapuFini", Tapu_Fini", or "Tapu-Fini". By the time I got around to making this account, only the hyphen version was still available.
---

This post finally completes my set of Tapu legendary accounts.
---

The elegant rose has finally entered this topic.

One of the few Rock types that's actually cute (along with Carbink, Diancie, and Rockruff).

Not as pretty as me.

You think the TC regrets making this topic yet?
---

The TC hasn't logged into his account since making his topic, so we won't know for sure. Though I bet the TC could still be reading this topic even without logging into the account he used to make this topic.
---

The first of my Gen 8 Pokemon accounts. Unlike in Gen 7, I chose to take only 1 of the starter names. Since none of the starters really impressed me during their initial reveal, I had to make a decision on the spot as to which starter name I would take.
---

During the Gen 7 reveal season, I got a hold of more names than expected because I had access to a mobile internet connection back then (through a mobile hotspot). This gave me 2 internet connections from which I could make an account on, so no risk of Pending Review status for making 2 accounts at once.

I no longer have my mobile hotspot anymore, so I'm stuck with just one internet connection to make Gen 8 accounts from. I wouldn't even attempt to make an account from a proxy since there's a pretty high risk of getting Pending Review status.
---

And this is my most recent Gen 8 account. More will come in the future as we get new Pokemon (or maybe human characters) revealed.

Here are the only Pokemon names currently available for the taking on GameFAQs:

Wynaut
Aurorus
Yamper
Rolycoly

2 of those are Gen 8 Pokemon, so you guys are really slacking on taking those Gen 8 names.

Hola!

@Dwebble have you regretted making this topic yet

those 4 accounts are all taken now

I can say that Aurorus was the last one >_>

*edit*

Wynaut: Sunday, August 4, 2019 6:23 AM
Rolycoly: Sunday, August 4, 2019 6:24 AM
Yamper: Sunday, August 4, 2019 11:35 AM
Aurorus: Monday, August 5, 2019 6:46 PM

so 2 of them taken within half an hour of that post, Yamper by noon... then finally Aurorus just now
---

I took good boy Yamper.
---

I'm actually stunned that Yamper wasn't snagged right away, the corgi was hyped up before reveal... and the name is great

yet even after that post poor Yamper was just sitting there for hours

also that post kinda got me interested in mapping out the creation dates of all pokealts

Can you make a thing where you pull the usernames and sort them all by karma? Doesn't have to be constantly updated, just a snapshot at the time that you pull the data. I've thought about doing it manually before, but that's probably several hours worth of tedious back and forth work just for a chart that I'd only look at for 2 minutes.
---

suree, I haven't done anything yet so I could do that

actually taking a break from FE3H this moment so might just get on it...
---

I know Jigglypuff has been around for a while. Posted on the Suikoden boards. Might be the oldest/most karma Pokemon name?
---

alright seems I'm good to go to start checking 'em all

first time using python to output an excel sheet, pretty neat!
---

whoops I fell asleep

but here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/159case1q-jkeYcl1wRaKy4xPHhtGZdxC7TRAKwzAUco/

to sort just select a column and then click "Data -> Sort sheet by column..."

- Oldest Pokealt is Psyduck
- Most Karma is Lickitung
- Most AMP right now is Meowth
- Ursaring hasn't signed in since 2007 =/
- 461 out of 686 (67%) existing/active Pokealts have visited since this July 1st
- 486 (70%) since 2019 altogether
- 239 (35%) have a sig
- Average Karma: ~950
- Average AMP: 3 post

might do a separate trawl later to differentiate 'no longer active' vs 'does not exist' vs read-only account, for now this is all I got

Updated sheet with Dead/Read-Only/Does-Not-Exist identification

(0) Read-Only: 3 (Gossifleurr, Corviknight, Zacian... all Sword/Shield)
(-1) Dead: 133
(-2) Unknown: 4

Unknown (Does Not Exist) is including "NidoranF" and "NidoranM" which I guess decide for yourself if they're proper pokealt names

Other 2 Unknowns are... Flygon and Aron... which is weird because those accounts are 'taken' if you try to register for them, and yet not only do they apparently not exist in the Community page, but even trying to Ignore them results in confirmation that those accounts don't exist.

Weird, only other thing I thought of was if there's like a name change discrepancy, like how Ulti's main profile comes up as "Ultima_X"... but in that case checking the community page for "Ultimat..blah" works as it should, unlike with Flygon/Aron. The name change case also wouldn't fit since people who change their name free up the old name... I know since I took ff6man's account when he renamed it to his current name >_>

So uh yeah Flygon and Aron are seemingly just like... reserved or corrupt or something.

All other Pokemon all accounted for, dead, active, or RO'd
---

I remember Luster saying something one time about having accounts that aren't activated yet. Maybe that's what's up with Aron and Flygon.
---

I like how the account cosmog existed before the pokemon did. LOL. (unless they changed their account name and it still shows the original date of creation)
---

even their Last Visit was like a year before Sun/Moon so I think it's just magic lol

hrmmmmmm I could test this later but I'm not sure... I think I recall scanning through available Pokemon a while ago and finding Flygon/Aron available then too... so it'd be a looooong tiiiime just lingering unactivated...
---

In my experience that can happen when a name exists as a Contributor name that's different than their account name (you used to be able to edit your contrib name independently from the rest of your account). You would have to somehow search through FAQs/reviews/cheats to see if anything was submitted under those names and click it to find their real profile. You still won't be able to register those names though.

Inactive names will still show you their profile but say that they do not have an active account.

Someone throw a Poke Ball.

Rolls on through this topic.

I'm here!

Who would've thought I'd be a thing that exists?

It really is a shocking development.

I used to have a bunch of accounts in which the username was already reserved for later activation. Those accounts were created prior to the changes made to the registration system back in 2015. There was roughly a 5 1/2 month period between December 2014 and 5/19/2015 were User IDs were probably assigned when you click on the activation link that gets sent to your email address. I never did this for any of my accounts, which allowed me to reserve usernames without having User IDs assigned to them.

I also created a username for a Pokemon that was named in a very credible 4chan leak, but I'm keeping it a secret account for now until the actual Pokemon is revealed.

oh right I should've posted like the other pokes in that untaken batch
