In Italy there isn’t an official Pokemon Center, I’d like to visit Japan and perhaps buy some object inside a Pokemon Center. I do not know Italian collectors who own rare cards and maybe evaluated by PsA, so I decided to create a Pokemon Center (virtual) on my own belonging to italy where I sell items from Japan (via ebay) and I opened a small personal blog where I share information in general about the Pokemon world. Soon I get on YouTube to make unboxing and reviews. ---

It’s the same as the Username on my Youtube Channel. Blastoise is my favorite Poke, and about 5 years ago I had to pick a channel name and that’s what I came up with. Has a 1 at the end of it on youtube, because BlastoiseRules was already taken… ---

Well, mine is nothing special really. My name is Jakub and “Kubek” is one of the other forms of this name (there’re plenty of these, like 20 at least). Also - kubek means mug in polish 😁 ---

Stepdad nicknamed me dilbert when I was a kid and it stuck. To this day most of my friends still call me dilbert. I use dilbert as a username for basically everything if it’s available. ---

I’ve used this username forever, I have no idea what was going through my mind when I made it. No one in their right might would mess with a cannon that shoots fish tho. ---

My old username for everything used to be DarkraiDarkness. Pretty rad name imo. I used to be very active on a forum called [pokemongts.com](http://pokemongts.com) a few years back. I was active under the name DarkraiDarkness when I successfully became a staff member on the forum. However, the forum admins wanted me to change my name because it was a little to dark (yeah, i know) for some of the younger audience of the site. So I proceed to sit around and discuss a name change with a few forum friends. At the time, I was reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians and had learned of the story of Daedalus, the guy who tried to fly out the pit and what not. I REALLY liked that name, but it was very common across the internet, so I had to switch it up. One guy suggested taking a few letters from Daedalus and adding random letters to the ending. I typed Daedalus and then just spammed my keyboard a few times until I ended up Daelum, and the name stuck. No, I don’t know how to pronounce it. I just say “day-lum” but some people get funky with it ---

linkdu83 is my username since 2005 ! There is one linkdu83 in France … 🕶 Why linkdu83 ? 1. “link” because at first I used this username on a famous french [Zelda Solarus forum](http://forums.zelda-solarus.com/) 2. “du” means “from” in english 3. “83” because I come from the french department of Var (number 83) [Previous page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/why-how-did-you-pick-your-upccc-username/13082.md?page=1)
