An update for Pokémon GO was released on August 8th, 2016, allowing users to change their trainer name once. I'm considering doing this, but my first account I have since abandoned has the name I'd prefer to use. If I change the trainer name of that abandoned account to something different, could my current account use the abandoned account's previous name?
