pnid already exists.

[eternal summit]

Basically, the Mii's name on the site was Steve, and it bothered me because I hadn't chosen it. So I deleted and recreated the pnid account several times (not only for this reason, but also because there's a bug that prevented me from seeing the screen to register the pnid on the console). I finally managed to get that screen on the 3DS where there are three buttons: "Wii U users," "register an existing ID," and "create a new ID." (Of course, I'm aware that it doesn't support linking NNID accounts with PNIDs.) And that's why I asked for help. My problem remains that when I register the ID I want on the site, after deleting the pnid, it tells me that the account I created and deleted on the site is already registered. Can someone resolve this situation for me on the site?

if you delete a PNID, you cannot reuse the PNID name

so if you delete the PNID account123, you cannot reuse it

So why can't I reuse that ID? Too bad. My mistake... but is it something at the nnid or pnid level that wanted it that way?

[eternal summit]

I have a slightly unrelated question. This time, can I use the same email address I used for nnid? The nnid and pnid accounts will be separate. Is that right? Or do I need to use a different one?

thanks for your help 🫶🏻

it's just how the servers work

pretty sure NN worked the same way

yeah you can reuse emails
