Auto-Assigned Starter on log-in? Help!

Hello!

I’m new to the game and this is my first time playing. When I tried logging in for the first time I was having a plethora of troubles, including an error saying I was already playing the game and another where I was stuck on a loading page and couldn’t get into the game.

Later, I was able to finally get in (not sure how). I had two characters made before I successfully logged in. I started with my second character first because that character gave me less login issues and it successfully booted the game and I went through starter picks, tutorial and everything!

Then I tried it with my first character, who actually had the name I wanted to play with. It loaded in for the first time, and I immediately spawned on a coastal area as a Tepig with a Rattata in my party.

I’m super confused. I definitely don’t want to play as a Tepig. I could delete the character but I don’t want to lose my username! Is there anything that can be done? :frowning_face:

Also forgot to add, when I started as the Tepig, I was already Level 10…
