Pokémon content creator Avery, known online as “The Poke Kid,” has sadly passed away at the age of 12 following a seven-year battle with pancreatic cancer, his parents have confirmed.
Avery built a growing online community through his love of Pokémon, sharing videos focused on opening Pokémon packs and collecting trading cards. His parents said the hobby gave him something to look forward to during difficult days, treatments, and hospital visits.
On September 17, Avery’s family announced that he had entered hospice care. Two days later, on September 19, his parents confirmed his passing.
They shared that what was expected to be a routine hospital visit changed unexpectedly, and the family spent his final moments together in one of his favorite places at the hospital, the rooftop garden.
Weeks before his passing, Avery shared his dream of reaching 100,000 YouTube subscribers and receiving a Silver Creator Award. The Pokémon community rallied around him, helping him achieve the milestone within days. His channel later grew to more than 146,000 subscribers.
