I just finished a new feature for the community, which has been a long-requested one. You can now update the email address tied to your account!
To change your email address, there are 2 requirements: * You must have been a member for at least a month.
* You must have access to the current email address on your profile.
Here is the process for changing your email address: 1. Go to Settings, and scroll down to the section called "Update Email".
2. Enter the new email address twice, and click Save.
3. Within a moment, you will receive an email to your current address with a 6-character verification code.
4. Go back to Settings, and scroll down to the section called "Update Email".
5. Enter the verification code, and click Save.
6. Quit reading these steps. You're done.
7. Why are you still reading?
8. Come on! This isn't even funny any more.
9. *sigh*
I've decided to require access to the existing email address for maximum account security. This will prevent someone from breaking into an account and changing the email address and password without the rightful account holder knowing it. If you are a long-time member who no longer has access to your old email address, contact me, and we can figure out something.
UPDATE: The verification code now goes to BOTH the old and new email addresses.
I used a random email because it wouldn't accept mine, so I don't have access to the 'old email adress'.

Same here, lol!
Only in my case, I did it because I didn't even HAVE an E-Mail account at that point.
It's surprisingly difficult to set up an E-Mail account if your only device is a 2DS.
Everyone always does those "Captcha" things, or asks for a Phone Number or something, so it was very difficult for me to handle.
I ultimately had to sneak onto my mom's Smartphone to set one up, although I CAN log into it via my 2DS.
(I wish I had done that BEFORE I set up my account here, but I suppose it's too late now, lol!)

I hate the mobile # or captcha things that won't load on my 3ds. Idk how I even made a gmail at all!

I agree COMPLETELY.
Being the weirdo that I am, I actually set up an E-Mail account at Yandex, lol!
(And no, I'm not a Russian Spy or anything, lol!)
