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! =)

Aww man.....*cries* Well, I guess I did see it coming (sooner or later), but I'll miss you! I hope you get around to that last video. And may i make a suggestion? Please, please, PLEASE pick an heir! As in make a competition. The people will submit their abridged episode (the one after your last) and you will pick the winner, the winner then goes on to continue your legacy (solblade002, lol). Please do this, but as for you...well, I'll dearly miss you and your sense of humor. Bye (for now >.>)!

Aww damn, well it's sad to hear because you made great videos. I was always looking forward to your videos and LK's as well. You will be missed.

As for me, maybe I can continue my music account a youtube.

This series is to awesome to quit, and this may be a bit too late, but DON'T STOP... BELIEVING!

I'd love to take over for you, but i can't do the voices so unless you can find someone, the best pokemon abridged series has finally come to a close.

Yeah this is pretty late too, but I just wanted to say good luck with all that you do and I hope that everything works out! Even though I'm going to miss the abridged series, at least we have 14 episodes to watch and hey, who knows...maybe someday you'll find the sudden urge to make some more!

Best wishes and God Bless!
