Where to find your username in Pokémon Roguelike

Your Pokémon Roguelike username appears in the top-left corner of the main game screen, right above your Pokédex count. If you are logged into an account, it will show there whenever you load the game. If you have not created an account yet, the game will prompt you to do so the first time you try to save progress — at that point you choose your username and it becomes permanent for that playthrough.

The username is different from your save file name. Your save file is stored locally on your device, but your username is what the game uses if you ever share your run or sync progress across devices. You can see it without leaving the main menu by straightforward looking at the top-left corner during any active run.

If you are playing on a browser, make sure your browser is not in private or incognito mode, as this can prevent the game from storing your login information between sessions. Clearing your browser cache or cookies can also temporarily hide your username until you log back in.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Pokémon Roguelike username displays in the top-left corner of the main game screen next to your Pokédex progress.
  • You create your username the first time you save a run, and it stays the same for all future runs on that account.
  • If you cannot see a username, you may be playing in offline mode or have not yet created an account.
  • Usernames are case-sensitive and cannot be changed once you set them, so choose carefully during initial setup.
  • Your username is public when you share run codes, so consider privacy before selecting a name you will use for shared runs.

Creating an account if you do not have one yet

Pokémon Roguelike requires an account to save your progress across sessions. When you start a new run and reach the first save point, the game will ask you to log in or create an account. Choose "Create Account," then enter your desired username and a password.

Write down your username and password somewhere safe — you will need them if you want to play on a different device or if your browser clears its local storage. The game stores your account information on its servers, so losing your login details means losing access to your save files. Consider using a password manager to store these credentials securely.

During account creation, the game will also ask for an email address. This email is how you can recover your username or password later if you forget them, so use an email address you still have access to.

If you forgot your username

If you remember your password but not your username, you can recover it through the game's login screen. Click "Forgot Username" and enter the email address associated with your account. The game will send you a message with your username within a few minutes.

If you do not have access to that email address anymore, contact the Pokémon Roguelike support team through their GitHub repository or official Discord server. They can verify your identity and help you regain access to your account. Be prepared to answer security questions or provide other proof that you own the account.

Playing offline versus with an account

You can play Pokémon Roguelike without creating an account — the game will save your run locally on your device. However, offline saves do not have a username attached to them. If you want to see a username in the top-left corner, you must log into an account.

Offline saves and account-based saves are separate. If you have been playing offline and want to switch to an account, you will start fresh with a new run. Your offline progress will still be there if you go back to offline mode, but the two do not merge. This means you cannot transfer an offline save to an account-based save.

Usernames and sharing your run

Your username is what other players see if you share a run code or post your progress online. The username is public — anyone with your run code can see it. If you want privacy, you can create a second account with a different username for shared runs, keeping your main account name private.

Run codes are separate from usernames. A run code is a unique string that lets other players load your exact team and progress. Your username just identifies who completed that run. When you share a run code on forums, Discord, or social media, your username will be visible to anyone who views it.

Changing your username

Pokémon Roguelike does not allow you to change your username after you create it. If you want a different name, you must create a new account with a new username. Your old account and all its save files will remain under the original username.

Before you finalize your username during account creation, take a moment to make sure it is something you are comfortable with long-term. Usernames are case-sensitive, so "Player" and "player" are treated as different names. Think about whether you want your username to be identifiable to people who know you, or whether you prefer something anonymous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have multiple usernames on the same device?

Yes. Each account has its own username and save files. You can log out and log into a different account, or create a new account entirely. The game will keep all accounts separate, and you can switch between them whenever you want.

What if my username does not show up on the main screen?

You are likely in offline mode or not logged in. Check the settings menu to see whether you are logged in. If you want to see your username, log into your account from the login screen before starting a run.

Is my username the same as my Discord or GitHub name?

No. Your Pokémon Roguelike username is separate from any other accounts you have. You create it specifically for the game during account setup, and it does not connect to your other online identities unless you choose to share that information yourself.

Can other players see my username if I play offline?

No. Offline saves have no username attached. Only account-based saves display a username, and only when you share a run code or post your progress publicly.

What happens to my username if I stop playing for a long time?

Your username and account remain active indefinitely. You can log back in at any time and your save files will still be there. The game does not delete inactive accounts.
