James Carter Cathcart, the voice of Gary Oak, James, Meowth, Professor Oak, and many more, has passed away.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like there's a decent chance this means some bot managed to convince YouTube's bots that some re-upload of that video (of which there has been an incessant onslaught) was the original, and successfully issue the takedown and copyright strike request.
