Unauthorized '''sockpuppets''', that is, accounts created for the sole purpose of hiding one's identity to conduct fraud, are not permitted on Bulbapedia. Additional accounts created to '''evade bans''' are blocked indefinitely, and may result in an extension or institution of a block on the primary account.

There are legitimate reasons for creating new accounts when you already have one, for example, if you wish to be dissociated from your past. In these cases, there is no need to obtain permission, however, you must stop using your old account as soon as possible.
