Re: new Pokemon genoration 7 games may leave blind players in the dust
I'm pleasantly surprised to hear how successfully blind people are playing this, I thought we were out of luck as well. Even so, I recently sold my 2DS and all of my games, as I just don't use them anymore. Even if I can play through and beat the story, I can only do that so many times before I get bored, and want to breed and train for competitive battles or at least battle facilities. That's always needed sighted help to read natures and stats and such, and practical sighted help isn't something I have readily available anymore (I am not making hundreds of be my eyes calls to play Pokémon). Even with XY and ORAS, I was finding it harder to find the motivation to play. ORAS' soaring around thing really put me off too, as here were a crap ton of legendaries that weren't accessible to reach because there was no indication at all of when I was flying over their islands.
Listenning to let's plays though, I must say I'm impressed with the sounds that they've put in, like the return of fully featured footsteps HGSS style! Also glad to hear about the bag returning to how it used to be, I hated and never understood why the bag had to be laid out differently during battle. SOS battles also sound a hell of a lot easier than Pokeradar or Dex Nav chaining, so blind people can actually chain for shinies and hidden abilities reliably now! But not I, I guess. If they ever manage to get this on an emulator and write save file editors that let me see what natures and stuff I have, then I'll definitely give this a whirl.
