desperate to catch and collect the characters, making friends and getting fit along the way. But not everyone can fully take part in the cultural phenomenon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hope Niantic listens and acknowledges this! The game isn\u2019t even really out of beta yet, so much room for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>I also hope this pop-up community comes forward and helps disabled people participate. All those impromptu pokemon catching parties, shouldn\u2019t be a big deal to organise carpools to get mobility impaired folks out playing as well. Or help people with mental issues like anxiety feel safe going out to catch some. Just like, if you\u2019re going on a group pokemon hunt and can handle helping someone get there and back too, shout it out in the event?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I got faith in this. I see so many accounts of people having clean, positive gaming fun with Pokemon Go and I really believe most of us will want to share.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m gonna reblog again because I see people in the replies going\u00a0\u2018just play normal Pokemon\u2019 or\u00a0\u2018the point of the game is walking so you can\u2019t change that\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Guys<\/p>\n<p>Think for a minute about the shit you\u2019re saying<\/p>\n<p>This is the\u00a0\u2018should videogames have easy settings\u2019 debate all over again and as usual, disabled people get the short shitty end of the stick. Just stop and THINK about someone other than yourself for a second.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>If the game gets a setting that allows disabled people to play, and you, despite not needing it, use it to cheat and thus feel dissatisfied with the game, that\u2019s YOUR problem. YOUR fault. YOUR responsibility.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s really fucking selfish to insist that a game should NOT cater to millions of physically disabled people who already have extremely limited accessibility to everything in life just because you might be tempted to use the special features to cheat?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes. This. <\/p>\n<p>I am physically disabled. I cannot walk more than a few yards at very random intervals. I have the movement radius of an engineless car if I don\u2019t have my motorised bike. I have a wheelchair for travel purposes. <\/p>\n<p>I simply can\u2019t play pokemon go like it\u2019s \u201cmeant to\u201d. I would very much like to try to play it eventually, because people seem to have so much fun with it. But as it is now it\u2019s pretty much unavailable.. And snobby nerds gatekeeping doesn\u2019t help either.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey guys! My friend is currently in a wheelchair because of a pretty bad car accident and she was upset that she couldn\u2019t play. However! If you email Nintendo with some proof of disability (she used a handicap parking sign), they will change the settings on your game so that the Pokemon will come to you! <\/p>\n<p>Hope this helps!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SIGNAL BOOST THIS<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>elphabaforpresidentofgallifrey: snarki-sharki: almostdefinitelydying: flamethrowing-hurdy-gurdy: flamethrowing-hurdy-gurdy: dailydot: How Pok\u00e9mon Go is creating a barrier for gamers with disabilities The augmented reality gaming app has taken the internet and world by storm, as people are desperate to catch and collect the characters, making friends and getting fit along the way.
