(PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION) Blind Person Conquering Pokemon Pearl, part01A

This is a recording of me, a person who was born blind, playing through Pokemon Pearl version.
I will be starting from scratch, getting the 8 sinnoh league badges, beating the elite four and finally acquiring the national pokedex.
This I believe is my 7th or 8th time through this game, so I have become very familiar with it.
Most of it I figured out using only the walkthrough on pokemon.marriland.com, though there were a handful of small areas (many of the gym puzzles primarily), that were too complicated. For those small areas, I had friends write me special, script-stile directions that I can use to navigate those areas (I needed this for all of victory rode at the end of the game).
For most of the navigation, I simply go by using the walls and other objects (people, buildings etc) to know where I'm going.
I use Pokémons cries to identify the Pokémon.
About the segment:
I start a new game, get through the intro, visit rival, travel to the lake, get starter, go home and get running shoes, travel to sandjem town, explain to the professor why Rival and I stole his Pokémon and had no other choice, go shopping, Return home, get the 2 maps and travel to Jubilife city to deliver the parcel to Rival.
You might be wondering: How did I click the pokeball on the screen during the intro on an emulator?
Well, the first time I did it, I had to have someone put the mouse over it. I created a computer program (using the scripting language Autoit), that would give me a textual representation of the location of the mouse pointer on screen (using X/Y coordinates).
With this information in hand, I then created another computer program that on command would simply move the pointer to that set of coordinates, which precisely sits the pointer on the button that you have to click. I can now do it myself- and only had to ask for help with it once.


Please feel free to comment, let me know what was done well, what could have been done better etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask; but please read through my channel before doing so; there's a pretty good chance your question is one of my FAQs. If the answer is not there, then feel free to ask me and I'll gladly answer you.

I explained that on my channel, it's a special program that is installed on an otherwise normal computer running Windows.

how can you play games if you're blind? =O Or you aren't blind anymore?

[genuinescorruption]

It's all about using audio hints to your advantage (I.E, bumping into walls in Pokemon, or stereo sound in Zelda).
