I hope he fully recovers. My world would be a darker place for him to go out like that.

Are the Aim to be a Master episodes part of Pokémon Journeys? I hope he won’t have to miss the farewell episode for Team Rocket.

We are almost approaching 1 year since the late Billy Kametz revealed his cancer diagnosis until his death in June of last year.

I have a feeling that there’s a 10% chance that he will not live much longer with the disease until his sudden death this year

I don't think it was officially confirmed, but I believe TCPi initially revealed an episode count for this season that would account for Aim to be a Master episodes as well. I never really grew to like his James or Meowth voices much, but considering he's likely the one person who has been involved in the dub since episode one I'm happy that he was able to finish off Ash's saga before moving on to the next chapter in his life - wishing him all the best.

I wish him the best. This man was my childhood. I always admired James the most out of the entire cast. He's the only trainer who never battled his pokemon. They just followed him because he was a great dude.

The press release back in December mentions how Ultimate Journeys will have 11 episodes to close off Ash's journey, so they are included as part of Journeys.

Are you patternzing someone's death? What the heck.
