Hey y'all.
I don't really have any updates atm. I haven't been streaming because, honestly, I haven't felt like it. Been focusing on myself and my personal life mainly.
What I do want to say though is that every day, I appreciate the good that came out of my time as a YouTuber. For any of you who found any happiness from something I helped make, thank you for giving me that opportunity. Despite all that happened and how things ended, I am proud of most of the work we did here, the content we made, and the effect it had on people. I said at the time, and I maintain to this day, that it is probably the greatest positive impact I will ever have on this world. I'm sorry for my large part in causing it to not continue or reach a satisfying conclusion.
Can't promise when or if there will be more content from me, but for now I've been enjoying the peace that comes with not being a content creator. It's a gift I never knew I wanted, and never would have chosen on my own, but I'm grateful to have it.
That's all that's going on with me. Hope you are all hanging in there and doing good things for yourselves and the people around you.

Hey guys. It's been a long time. I'll try to keep this update as short as possible.
Elite3 disbanded a few years ago due to my own actions. Without going into detail, I'm just going to say to all of you: I'm deeply sorry. I failed you all as a content creator and as a fellow human being. I didn't live up to the standards we had hoped to in terms of making more videos, and I personally didn't live up to any reasonable standard one would have for anyone sharing their oxygen. I fucked up quite a bit and it's why Elite3 is no longer a thing. I'm sorry.
Several years later, some deep soul searching, extensive treatment, and necessary change, and here we are. Pokemon 'Bridged and all other Elite3-associated content will not resume, as that would be (at best) disrespectful, but I intend on making SOMETHING again. I'm not 100% sure what, I just know that I've been blessed enough to have this opportunity to make the world slightly better. If I can help give a few more people brighter days, that will be mission accomplished.
I'm still brainstorming what to do next. I want to do SOMETHING Pokemon related as a send-off before I start branching off to other things that interest me, but again, this will NOT come in the form of Pokemon 'Bridged. I'm currently leaning towards doing some livestreaming, playing through all the classic Pokemon games... maybe edited clip compilations as video content. I have zero intention to monetize anything, so I'll be going for quality over quantity, no one subscribed will be spammed with bottom-of-the-barrel low quality filler videos. Archives of the livestreams will not clog anyone's feed.
Here's to the future. Better things are possible.

Channel Update!
Hey dudes, Mike here! Looks like YouTube implemented a new feature that could potentially be very useful! I'm going to use it right now to give you guys a much-deserved update on what's going on.
Episode 29 started getting edited in February, but our jobs have temporarily gotten very busy, so it was put on hold. Roughly 4 minutes are done, and we're maybe 1/3 of the way through the script. It could be our longest episode yet! Really itching to get back to it!
Episodes 21 and 28 are temporarily down due to copyright claims. They will hopefully return within the next month or so.
If you're itching for some more content, we do streams multiple times per week over on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/elite3official, including Pokemon games! In fact, our next stream is today, and we're likely to do some grinding in Pokemon Colosseum in preparation for the big Pokemon Colosseum stream happening on Monday! Come hang out with us!
Hope you're all well! We're not dead and we're still makin' stuff! Keep being awesome!
~Mike

Welcome to Mike's channel, formerly of Elite3. On this channel you'll find our old videos.
I'm probably retired from making content, but never say never.
