In light of my recent YouTube fiasco, I'm going to be posting some updates on this blog so I can spell things out in a bit more detail.
First of all, I will NOT be posting any new videos on YouTube for the time being. I'm almost positive that it was a bot that tracked my videos and sent the copyright warning that got my episodes deleted. But what I completely forgot about was that I still have a LiveVideo account that has all of my videos except for the most recent one. Since it's on my other computer, I'll upload that at another time, but for now, you guys can still view the videos here:

Now here's something strange that I want you guys to try out just to see if this works for you like it does for me: Under the left side of this blog, under "Blog Topics," click the link that says "Pokemon Abridged/Polkamons." Scroll down and find some of my posts where I uploaded episodes. Play any of those videos (don't double click them, just click play once to play it from inside the blog page.). For some reason, the embedded YouTube videos still play just fine, even though the videos have been removed for copyright issues. Weird how that works...

Probably not the news you wanted...
Rather than beating around the bush, I'll dish out the news right at the start: I will no longer be making anymore Pokémon Abridged videos.
Some of you are surprised, some of you saw this coming, some of you don't care. For those of you do, however, I'll explain why I've made this decision.
There is no way that I can make either the physical or mental sacrifice to sit down and crank out these videos during the school year. I have so much shit to deal with in terms of classes, clubs, work, and just life in general. When I'm not doing physical work, my mind is almost always distracted. More and more, it's getting harder for me to make making these videos a priority.
Although probably the even bigger reason I've decided to stop making these is that frankly, I've just lost interest. I can't spend hours slicing and re-dubbing episodes of Pokémon with the same enthusiasm that I used to have. I guess you could call it sheer boredom, or you could call it growing up. Maybe I should e-mail Little Kuriboh and ask him what keeps a married guy in his late 20's to continue making Yu-gi-oh parodies. Probably just his passion, and mine's apparently gone.
You guys have all been great, subscribing and watching my videos for roughly a year and a half. All of your comments and subscriptions have made it extremely worthwhile for me to make these as long as I did. It's really nice to get affirmation from others that I may actually have a sense of humor, however grotesque, juvenile, or just plain random it can be. I really feel like I should make one last video just thanking you guys, but sadly, technological and time constraints make even doing that pretty much impossible. I'll try to get around to that eventually.
So yeah, thanks again to all of you for sticking with me, and I'm extremely sorry to disappoint those of you who were eagerly awaiting new material. Hopefully Little Kuriboh and other abridged series creators can fill the void. But maybe I'll get an idea for an entirely different new series or whatever sometime in the future. As for now, farewell, and at the risk of being redundant, thank you all! =)

WHERE'S THE NEW EPISODE?!
Not to beat a dead horse, but I've gotten quite a few inquisitions from a lot of people lately asking me what's taking so long on the new episode. Let me assure you all that I am extremely busy. With classes and club activities, one that I'm an officer for, I have a LOT of stuff to do, and it's nearly impossible for me to find even a minute or two of free time when I can do any sort of work on Episode 15. Plus, missing about a week and a half of classes due to me having the flu has put me on catch-up mode for quite a while. Making Polkamons has not been at the top of my priorities.
Again, I do not plan to quit making my videos. But the situation is the same as last year: I don't have the free time I did over the summer. It's hard enough for me to get the work done that I have, let alone make videos. And I'm almost twice as busy this year as I was last year. Even my very occasional breaks at home are too hectic to get anything done except work.
I assure you, I have full intention of making videos as soon as I have time! In the mean time, please be patient.

Tina Fey and SNL Win Again
God, Tina Fey is flawless:
Btw, I might, I repeat, MIGHT, have time to make a new episode this weekend. MIGHT. I can't make any guarantees, but for all of you "Where's the new episode" birds out there, I feel I need to provide some form of relief for the time being.
MIGHT. That is all.
