So I started playing Pokémon Go again a few weeks ago and I have to say they may not be very powerful but I have caught some VERY cute Pokémon! I played as soon as the game was released in the UK, I even talked about it on the @bbc_ouch_disability podcast but stopped because I had a terrible problem where the game crashed and would not open. Probably a month ago now I tried to log in and it worked! Now I know what your thinking how on earth does a blind chick that can’t walk very far play Pokémon Go?! Let’s start with the blindness thing my phone or Apple Watch vibrates and makes a noise when I’m near a Pokémon or a poke stop I then hold my phone very close to my face to activate the poke stop or catch the Pokémon. I can’t read the menus or information on screen but I have memorised where everything important is. When it comes to throwing poke balls to catch Pokémon I turn off VR so there is enough contrast for me to see a bit. Pokémon Gym’s are probably the hardest visually I basically pound the screen and hope for the best! So onto the physical there are definite downsides to playing a game that requires walking when walking is physically painful or limited I have found it possible to catch Pokémon and activate poke stops from a car or bus which helps me level the field a little. It does take me longer to hatch eggs but I tend to use the Pokémon watch app to count my steps during regular activity that helps. The game does recognise wheelchair pushes using Apple health data if you use a manual chair... What could they do better? I wish the contrast was better in the menus and with icons or a little bolder. I also wish there was some way of telling the game you are using an electric wheelchair but I think this may be impossible. - #pokemongo #cutepokemon #accessibility #a11y #BBCOuch #gamer #blindgamer #physicaldisability #icantwalkfar #geek #visualimpairment #blindinstagram #screenshot @nianticlabs #iworkitout #gamingforall @specialeffectteam #disabilitygaming #chronicpain #chronicillnesswarrior #ehlersdanlos #wheelchair #makethemostofwhatyouvegot #geekchic (at Lee-on-the-Solent)
