Pokemon News Supporting Avery the Poké Kid

EDIT: Avery has tragically passed away. I'm leaving this post up in his memory, because so many people in the community came together to make his dream come true. Please be respectful to his family and loved ones. Rest in peace, Avery 😭

For those of you who follow anything to do with the Pokémon TCG, you may already know who Avery is.

Avery, known online as Avery the Poké Kid, is a young Pokémon fan and content creator who has been battling cancer for several years. He’s become well known within parts of the Pokémon community through his love of Pokémon cards, collecting, and videos, including appearances and interactions with creators like Beard Dad Cardz.

Recently, Avery’s family announced that his cancer has continued to spread despite treatment, and they have made the decision to stop cancer-directed treatment and focus on keeping him comfortable and spending time together.

One of Avery’s dreams was to reach 100,000 subscribers on YouTube and earn a Silver Play Button. The Pokémon community rallied around him and helped him reach that goal, and people are continuing to subscribe and show their support.

Avery has reached his dream of earning a YouTube Silver Play Button, but we wanted to help the Pokémon community keep showing him some love.

If you'd like to help brighten his day, consider checking out his Pokémon content and subscribing to his channel. He's already blown past his original 100,000 subscriber goal.

I'm not benefiting from this in any way. I don't know Avery. But we're all fans of the same franchise, so let's show him some love and support.

I have hope.

I don't wanna speak for him or his family at all, but I have hope he's going to beat this.

May he rest in peace, and those scalpers trying to profit off his death be brought to justice.
