Pokemon Sun Moon and playing blind (self.Blind)
submitted by Chocobean
Is anyone here playing Sun Moon? I just started playing it today.
Someone offered to write a walkthrough for Pokemon Sun Moon. /u/NightHawk321, the founder and mod of /r/blindPokemon, has informed us that unfortunately the game is not accessible.
It was mentioned that doors now need to press A to enter instead of walking through them. The D pad doesn't work for walking, only joystick.
However,
Sun actually has additional sound effects for path vs grass vs stairs, and locations in towns are organised more like stops along a bus route, rather than scattered dots in a sprite map like in previous games. All buttons on the touch screen are now accessible via D pad and very often, X Y A B Shoulder shortcuts. The camera doesn't rotate around like crazy anymore: up is up is up. From the perspective of a sighted person writing a guide, it feels like it's actually easier to play.
has anyone tried the demo? Are there things later in the game that make it impossible that I am not seeing yet? Thanks!

Hmm, interesting. I'm going off of what a blind person on audiogames.net said about the demo. I haven't actually tried it myself. You may want to go make a post on audiogames.net and let them know of your observations.

I was googling about the demo and about what people who've played the game were saying. Some links on the forum game f. a.q.s

Browsing on Nintendo's official site -you CAN use the d-pad to ride Pokemon- which came out in Pokemon X/Y but this time seems to be better, as you can ride any Pokemon, not just those you have in your team, in certain places...
> Essentially, you can call forth various Pokemon in order to help you overcome obstacles that would have previously required a HM. You can register up to four Ride Pokemon to the - 3DS' D-Pad - in order to summon them at any time. Better yet, these Pokemon don't even have to be in your party in order to benefit from their aid.
But I think that's d-pad for selection, like selected items in Pokemon Black 2/ x ECT.
Also there's picture taking in Sun/Moon. I'm guessing that poses a problem, u/Nighthawk321
That said... the other games are pretty much accessible, so if anyone wants to help out with walkthroughs, r/blindpokemon is the place.

I can understand getting to know one forum well and then not willing to move, too. And you're right, once we finish it'll be easier to have something to show. :)
I will go see what others say about Pokemon Sun Moon, thanks
