It could possibly just be the fact that he's taking a break. I mean, what was all his work done for? So he could just give up on everything he had here without even saying "farewell" to anyone? No, it's ecause he loved this. I think :P
Ah. Sounds like he's either just retired for a bit and probably thinking about heading back into it. It was the same for me and Phoenix2389 here as well. He may have time again too. Who knows
Hopefully. A close friend of his and a PC member, PorcelainDoll, emails him and she told me that he's going back to his "old life" which she thinks means "without pokemon"
hopefully that is not the case, as he logs onto his YouTube account often
